Good text to speech voices

The new 2026 voices are much easier to listen to

Still my #1 Most Used App

Practically flawless since the v10.1 update BUT the status bar (time, signal, battery %) no longer disappears in Full Screen Mode.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear about this! You should be able to correct this by going to Settings > Advanced > Repair Local Storage in the app. But if the issue persists, feel free to email us at support@help.instapaper.com so we can look into things more directly for you. Thank you!

Outstanding

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.

speech voices

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

Не работает

Простой блокнот сделать не могут! Часть сохранил а потом перестал. Бесконечно чтото грузит но ничего не показывает. Опять индусов наняли?
