Ratings and reviews

If you listen to an article, Instapaper doesn't save where you left off the next time you use the app. The playlist is also lost if you queued articles in a list for listening, so you have to create it from scratch again. It would also be helpful if an article were archived automatically when you are finished listening to it.

I paid for the upgraded version only to find that there is a significant issue. When notes (highlights) are transferred to another app (e.g.: OneNote) their order is random rather than the order they are in within the original document (or even the order they are captured). I've tried to contact support, but just get an automated message that they are a two person company. It's been over a week and no response. I'm not sure this is even supported anymore.

I like the customizable settings like background color, font, sorting by various criteria (age, length, popularity, or shuffle), etc. and the ability to read articles offline. I do wish there were an option to show the full article titles (or at least to allow 2-3 lines for titles) in place of the article preview and/or byline.
