Highly useable and great design for reading

Lovely minimal and elegant design. A decent set of features that covers all the essentials. Send-to-Kindle integration. Solid reliability and stability. In essence everything to support doing lots of reading and nothing to distract.

I would like to see some more advanced features like tags, but they aren’t super necessary. The devs seem to be constantly working so manage they’ll get added in future. In the meantime the app is more than good enough.

Love the app but hate the scroll bar

I love using Instapaper and linking it with IFTTT to automatically add articles.

The one thing that is infuriating is that if you have scrolling enabled (which is the way I want to progress through an article), you can accidentally touch the scroll bar with your thumb as you scroll and you suddenly go shooting off in the complete opposite direction and lose your place. It would be so much better if there was an option to disable the ability to drag on the scroll bar. No other app I use has this behaviour so it is always a rude shock when it occurs in Instapaper

Developer Response ,

Thanks for letting us know where you're experiencing some difficulty with Instapaper. We'll keep changes to scroll bar behavior in mind for the future.

The First Read Later App I Had and Still the Best

Back in 2010, I started my journey with Instapaper and I loved being able to find time to read articles in my busy day. The app had a simple interface and I loved picking up with an article where I left off.

I can't remember why I stopped using the app.

What brought me back to it was Tiago Forte's mention of it in his book, "Building a Second Brain." The app continues to keep its simple interface and has excellent new features, such as syncing highlights and notes to Evernote and allowing you to email in things you want to read later.

Simple, easy to use, with rich features.
