Instapaper: Discover, Save, Read
Have you ever stumbled across an interesting, albeit lengthy, article on the web that you’d love to read, but don’t have the time necessary to dedicate to it? Well tech writer and coffee enthusiast, Marco Arment, has the perfect solution with his app, Instapaper. Instapaper is a service which allows you to save long articles, emails and blog posts for later viewing, even if you’re not connected to the Internet. It is supported by over 150 iPhone and iPad apps and has been critically acclaimed by highly respected newspapers, magazines and top blogs. Instapaper offers a clean, streamlined UI that is indicative of Marco’s attention to detail.
Instapaper has the required API’s to allow you to save web pages as text-only for optimized viewing on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad at a later time. It takes a few steps to get it set up in the Safari browser –mostly due to Apple’s limitations– but once you do, saving content is as easy as riding a tricycle. Instapaper includes the ability to adjust fonts, text sizes, line spacing and even margins. A Dark mode and brightness control is added in for any night reading you may want to do. And to top it off, everything you save is then available offline, so you can read whenever you want, including on WI-FI-only devices and wi-fi-less transcontinental flights.
Instapaper has received numerous accolades from Apple, TIME, TechCrunch, PCMag and many more. So it comes as no surprise that sending to Instapaper has been baked into well over 150 iPhone and iPad apps! I personally love quickly saving links to my Instapaper account when I’m browsing my Timeline with my favorite Twitter client.
All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Instapaper to anyone with an appetite for reading. With it’s simple, yet beautiful UI that melts away when not needed and ability to save web pages for later viewing, its sure to make its way into your heart, and devices. Check it out here (official iOS app goes for $5 here).
