About this app

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

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

Has been good and helpful in the past, but something broke: it is now impossible to start "Speak" reading aloud where I want. I scroll to the point in the article where I want to listen but the reader stubbornly starts at the beginning again and again, or at some random point it chose previously. Please fix this!

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. Customizing features. Weekly newsletter articles reflect "left" non-diverse political viewpoint.

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.
