Used to love the app, not the newest update
I updated the app on my ipad, but I'm so disappointed with it that I have decided not to update my iphone. As other people have said, the new font is too small, and I haven't found a way to change the font. Second, I can't find a way to share an article via email. At least on the ipad, the share option is missing. Please add this back!

Excellent Pocket alternative
Current review: The latest update made the type too small for the list of saved stories. Please bring back the larger type size for the list of saved stories. Earlier review: Now that Pocket is closing shop, I needed an alternative. I like to find music on my iPad by listening to YouTube videos in the Brave browser. When I would find an album that I might want to purchase, I would save it to Pocket, open Pocket on my Mac, click on the YouTube video, and then watch the video in the Brave browser on my Mac which is connected to my home stereo music system. Now I can use Instapaper instead of Pocket, and it works perfectly just like Pocket. Nice! I am so happy about how well Instapaper works now.

Removed random article selection
The new version brings smaller fonts, and ruined the sculpt to select a random article through an iOS shortcut
Great update
The new 10.0 update makes everything I love about Instapaper even better. The new UI makes affordances clearer. The new fonts are thoughtfully chosen. And article counts in the menu tell me just how many articles I haven’t read yet! Great work as ever; I’m proud to be a subscriber.
lacking export
why is it so difficult to export articles? should be an option to switch storage to a user accessible folder in the iOS files app
Bring Costs Down, Please!
The cost per year to store some small text files, I just don't see how the cost is worth it. It's a shame, too, since many of us have tons of paid but unused cloud storage on plans like Google Drive, iCloud, etc, which would hardly feel the impact of storing the metadata associated with highlights and very small text comments.
I know that the ongoing cost is for this service effectively being a mirror of the readable internet (which is very admirable, and I think underappreciated service provided by sites like archive.org). But personally, I'm fine with only having my local copy of article data for a significantly reduced cost. Or perhaps they could create a middle tier that blends the benefits of medium-term storage, and upselling to the archive.org promise of trying to mirror websites forever.
I just love the reading experience this app provides and would really recommend it if I could buy the app for $10-20 and had the option to bring my own storage to avoid a subscription cost.

Probably the most valuable iOS app I use
It downloads articles from an IFTTT RSS feed I set up more than a decade ago for reading them when I'm in questionable cell reception. Period. That's all I want it to do and it never fails. I use Instapaper dozens of times a day and it's amazing how well it works. The one or two times I've had an issue the developers, who are maybe three people, are courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. Download this, you will not regret it. You'll be happy that you did.

Ужас
Поделие уровня пятиклассника, очень устаревшее приложение с минимальнейшим набором функций и подпиской 500р/мес. Вы обезумели там что ли? Может сделаете нормальный, современный, красивый и качественный продукт сначала, а потом уже будете просить заслуженные 199р/мес?
Not working with the Economist app
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.
I can’t believe how well this app works
Saving articles is so fast and easy and this app does it so well. I’m so impressed by how easy it works, and I only have the free version. The premium version doesn’t really have many features that I want but I would happily pay money for additional features like word counts, more sorting options, more data displays at the top of articles, etc. 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.

Dark Mode Icon
I love this app, and it’s awesome. However, I really miss dark mode of the app icon on Mac.
It’s appreciated to have it.

Inconsistent Product
Sometimes works to rip content from Apple News to Instapaper. Sometimes the same content provider works, and sometimes it does not. Worth a subscription: probably not if Instapaper can't improve the quality of its output.
Safari extension?
Finally a good software for offline reads!
Is a Safari extension still avialable?

My Thoughts.
Today I installed Instapaper on my phone. I use it mostly for reading articles and papers that I gleaned from the internet. It’s a good utility to have. I am even paying for a monthly subscription. I like the fact that users can choose their background, style and size of fonts and make notes about what they are reading. But when it comes to highlighting text we are given only one color option: Yellow! Really? What I would like for Instapaper’s developers to do is give us MORE options than just yellow for highlighting text!
You know: Light Blue, Pink, Green and the ability to underline text in Red! I would love to give this app a Five-Star rating! I really would! But alas, because I am limited to a yellow highlighter, I cannot! And, I am afraid, I cannot recommend this app to others.

No sigue por donde iba leyendo
La versión web y la app van cada una a su bola. Necesito poder seguir por donde lo dejé cuando los artículos son largos, aunque cambie de leer por web a leer por el móvil, y viceversa. Vamos, que falla en lo fundamental. Es justo por lo que dejé de usar Pocket. Juraría que llegó a funcionar, pero los programadores siempre consiguen pudrir el código.

Wonderful app!
A great app!
I love Instapaper
I was about to build my own version of pocket after being frustrated with existing apps. Thankfully I found Instapaper, after using pocket for 15 or so years. This is so much better. This the perfect level of development for an app like this. Lots of function, no frivolousness, it’s honestly refreshing. I love its lack of BS that I pay for it monthly, just because I appreciate it so much.
I love, LOVE, Instapaper.
I love, LOVE, Instapaper.
