★★★★★ Serious problems synching with the Economist app.
★★★★★ I thought maybe I was too optimistic about my sync settings, so I set the sync settings to the lowest amount.
★★★★★ It glitches though as it hangs when it is synced with my car and I get a call.
5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ The new version brings smaller fonts, and ruined the sculpt to select a random article through an iOS shortcut
★★★★★ But with the new “AI” voices update, the overall user experience has degraded.
★★★★★ Not only does the new version hang when transitioning to and from the car but you have to get all the way out, delete finished stories and create a new playlist but you still can't forward to the next story without…

★★★★★ Serious problems synching with the Economist app. Some articles do not appears. The ones that do, cannot be read because only the headline is present.
★★★★★ In case the developers are reading this… I'm on MacOS and I would have rated Instapaper through your app (Setting → Rate Instapaper) but that menu item doesn't work either.
★★★★★ It glitches though as it hangs when it is synced with my car and I get a call.
4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Worth a subscription: probably not if Instapaper can't improve the quality of its output.
★★★★★ I paid for premium, too, so i feel like a rube who just wasted his money.
★★★★★ In order to read entire articles from the NYT in Instapaper, I signed in with my NYT subscription info.
2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Update: $60 a year is absurd! Told you so! OG review: I used to pay for Instapaper, then it was sold and went free, now it's back to a pay service. In that transition I've lost hundreds of articles. Graduate research,…
★★★★★ Previous update caused app to often freeze when scrolling through articles, and after latest update the app won't open at all anymore (stuck on loading screen)
Nothing stands out.

★★★★★ Instapaper mostly works great!
★★★★★ Now I can use Instapaper instead of Pocket, and it works perfectly just like Pocket.
★★★★★ I also love how easy it is to send links to friends, I was worried I wouldn't be able to send links from within the app but that works great too.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Saving articles is so fast and easy and this app does it so well.
★★★★★ From the app it's easy to share content via email or text.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ The new UI makes affordances clearer.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ The cost per year to store some small text files, I just don't see how the cost is worth it.
★★★★★ I'm so impressed by how easy it works, and I only have the free version.

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s flawless. I like to save articles and I don’t have time to read so I could go back and have them all organized with tags. Apps these days are a fortune, this app is more than fairly priced and worth the money. I had the Pocket app to take downloads from online, then they got rid of the app and I lost all of my saved recipes and everything. It’s one of my top 10 favorite apps I have.
wonderful to have a text to speech CarPlay app … Transfer’s text and articles very well and easy to access when most convenient, such as driving, however, the voices are very robotic and not smooth… very hard to listen to the articles
One of the most handy apps
Could you find a way to arrange my articles alphabetically
The only request I would have is to provide a way to quickly scroll back up to the top of an article.
Instapaper mostly works great! I often use it to transfer articles to my Kobo. It often misses images, which isn’t usually a big deal. It usually fails to import academic articles, especially those that I have access via a redirect to my University’s library. It also tends to split lines in half after the first few pages of reading. It will show the top half of the letters in a line on one page, and then the bottom half of those letters on the next page. Other than these relatively small issues, it is working well for me!
