About this app

Your articles ready for you to read or listen - while you wait, commute, walk, cook, whenever.

No ads, No suggestions – Save articles of your own interest, and app should help finish reading them. Comfortably.

Carefully designed search, sort, and filters to easily pick the article you need.
Choose a category matching your mood. Interested in health articles now? Choose Health. You don't have to assign the category in advance, the app does this for you.
Take up on your pending reads by opening Unread articles alone. Short waiting time? Pick those short articles by reading time.

READ COMFORTABLY:
Save from your desktop, iPhone, iPad, or Android. Read them in a clean and easy to read format for a comfortable and focused reading.

OFFLINE:
Read, listen, or manage those articles even if your device is offline. App will automatically sync when your device is back online.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Highlight those important phrases as you read. Keep the essence of your reading and refer whenever you need.

SEND TO KINDLE:
Love the Kindle reading experience? Send articles to your Kindle device (or app) and read them at your own pace.

SEARCH & COMFORT:

AUTO CATEGORIES:
Pick articles by your mood at the moment. Your articles already have their category assigned. Choose Health related articles or Science if you are in that learning mood.

NOTES:
Capture the gist out of an article you just read - your summary of lessons learned, thoughts you got out of an article. Keep the record to re-read yourself anytime or share to your notes app.

LISTEN:
Listen to articles while you walk, cook, or commute with in-app text to speech. Add them to your playlist and listen uninterrupted.

DO NOT UPGRADE! PLAYLIST, WHICH USED TO BE STANDARD IS NOW LOCKED BEHIND A SUBSCRIPTION! What an awesome idea. Can't think of any worthwhile NEW features, so we'll lock established features behind a paywall for unsuspecting saps. I liked (past tense) the application for the most part. I would be willing to buy "premium" outright ONCE. I hate the ludicrous idea of a subscription for apps like this. Take other people's content and Google's FREE text to speech SDK and charge a sub for it.

Kudos to PaperSpan. Finally a "save content for later" app that actually works. I was super disappointed with all the other apps meant for saving web content. I'd go to find what I had saved
