Instapaper Customer Insights

1. Aside from that, the app itself is very useful and I find it easy to read different articles I save with the clean design and other useful features.So close to excellent; but the page scrolling to match text to speech has never really worked, and it loses my place in the current article when I close the app.

2. I'd love to be a premium subscriber, but the features are kind of ridiculously minimal and buggy, and have been for years with little improvement.My favorite feature of Instapaper is the highlight feature.

3. I love Instapaper! It does exactly what I want which is to save articles I find online that I want to read later when I have the time.

4. But if I want to read it later Instapaper is who I trust.This app is awesome! I can save all my favorite articles and read them later without having to search through a bunch of bookmarks.

5. I used to use Pocket for all my read later articles, but it's missing this feature (at least, it's not as useful).

6. I pay for whatever the cheapest option is and I have 0 complaints.There seems to be an issue when using the speak feature where it removes paragraphs and headings when it reads them aloud.

7. The new update removed free highlights! Noooooooo! Other than that, this app is awesome!Bad and buggy user interface.

8. But This is purely a hypothetical question though.Instapaper is one of the only consistent and dependable tools offering appless & affordable (FREE) bookmarking.

9. I used to use Pocket but constantly had random articles popping up that I never saved about things I don't care about.

10. For example, when in an article, if you select a word, the contextual menu that appears at the top that includes copy, edit, dictionary buttons do not appear.

11. I don't know if that's intentional, but I really hope not because I like to follow along in text when it's being read aloud.
