I used to use Pocket but constantly had random articles popping up that I never saved about things I don't care about. If there is a way to turn it off, I couldn't figure it out, hence, installation of Instapaper. I love Instapaper! It does exactly what I want which is to save articles I find online that I want to read later when I have the time. It also lets me categorize everything and I can highlight whatever I want. I pay for whatever the cheapest option is and I have 0 complaints.

There seems to be an issue when using the speak feature where it removes paragraphs and headings when it reads them aloud. I don't know if that's intentional, but I really hope not because I like to follow along in text when it's being read aloud. Aside from that, the app itself is very useful and I find it easy to read different articles I save with the clean design and other useful features.

So close to excellent; but the page scrolling to match text to speech has never really worked, and it loses my place in the current article when I close the app. It also won't handle pdfs well, and won't let me email text to my list. I'd love to be a premium subscriber, but the features are kind of ridiculously minimal and buggy, and have been for years with little improvement.
