About this app

Instapaper is the simplest way to save and store articles for reading: offline, on-the-go, anytime, anywhere, perfectly formatted.

Ratings and reviews

I been using the app for many years with pro, even when they had the lifetime license pre Pinterest era, but recently I can't directly share to Whatsapp or other apps I just have some options that are not a real share menu like nearby, Bluetooth and other useless things. I can't copy the link without open it in the browser. Instapaper is not just a bookmark app, it was like a clipboard if you got the trick. Is very sad that I can't share easily anymore. Time to move on, instapaper is dying.

I am a former reader from Pocket, a reading app similar to this one. I must say Pocket's overall appearance and experience was much better. I like Instapaper it's just that Pocket did it better. Pocket is defunct now so Instapaper it is. Hopefully, the appearance and user experience will only get better as we go. Once again, I'm hopeful. 🙂

This is an extremely useful app. I use it everyday to store articles to read later, or to store in folders long term. The only issue I've noticed is that frankly, when listening to a longish article, the app stops playing and it's not possible to start it again even though it still appears in notifications. Is there a fix for this problem, or is somethings coming in the near future. Thanks. p.s. I wish I could list folders alphabetically.
