About this app

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

CORE FEATURES:
- Saves most web pages as text only, stripping away the full-sized layout to optimize for tablet and phone screens
- Distraction-free reading environment gets out of your way so you can focus on the content
- Everything you download is then available **OFFLINE**, so you can read whenever you want, even on airplanes, subways, or Wi-Fi-only devices away from internet connections

PLUS:
- Optimized tablet interface
- Adjustable fonts, text sizes, line spacing, and margins
- Dark mode and brightness control for night reading
- Sort your list of unread items by popularity, date, article length, and shuffle
- Folders for organization
- Share via web browser and any app that supports sharing
- Rotation lock
- Download up to 500 articles on your phone or tablet, and store unlimited articles on the Instapaper website

I transitioned from Pocket two weeks ago, and I’m very satisfied. The support team is responsive and helpful. I upgraded to the Premium level for additional features. I am utilizing this app more frequently due to its enhanced capabilities for reading and summarizing materials. Using across all platforms; cell and PCs.

Good replacement for Pocket. I wish there was an option to zoom in images and save them to phone. also it's a bit jarring that there's no "add URL" button, you always need to share it from other apps. I would like an option to not use the extra screen space in the camera notch for text.

doesn't update in real time so you don't know if changes have been made, let alone if your pages or links have been saved. Also, links can't be copied & pasted into the app. I eventually learned that my link was saved after closing and reopening the app. This is why it got 2 stars.
