Ratings and reviews

Used to be a Pocket user, but it became far too much of a tool for marketing and invasive. Instapaper shines brighter in that respect, and I love that there is a sync with Obsidian, so I can keep a catalogue of articles in a more secure space. Cheers to the developers. Great work. My one suggestion would be the ability to open the freshly saved article via the banner that tells you it's been saved, as opposed to having to switch out of your browser, etc. Keep up the good work.

Easy to use. Articles get saved both to app site for offline viewing (only as long as you don't logout in which case they are deleted) and to your account on its website. So far, spacing between paragraphs (stanzas) in only one of my saved articles was ignored. Vocalized reading of some apostraphe'd words failed to read correctly even though most other such words in same article were read correctly. Interesting article suggestions sent to your inbox about weekly. Many customizing features.

Unreliable capture, tardy and pointless support - all just a time-wasting exercise. I've used it for years, loved it, but unsubscribed from this expensive annoyance. It works, and then it doesn't, have to revisit news articles often, never sure what is saved and what isn't. Wallabag might be basic and not as 'feature-rich', but at least it just works. EDIT So, unsubscribed with 6 months paid period remaining, all of the premium features removed and no search avail. What a shambles!
