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?
Essential
One of the most handy apps
Instapaper
Could you find a way to arrange my articles alphabetically
Small Gripes
I recently upgraded from an iPhone X (iOS 16) to an iPhone 14Pro (iOS 27.0) and noticed the one feature that’s missing is that I can’t save articles directly into a folder like I still can on my old phone, which is annoying.
Also, the touch targets on the small options bar that appears at the bottom of articles are too small; it took me 7 taps to get menu to open to delete an article the other day, it was driving me nuts.

Almost perfect
The only request I would have is to provide a way to quickly scroll back up to the top of an article.
80% of the time, it works every time
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!

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.
