What Real Users Say

"I have been a user of Instapaper since buying my first iPad, the very first iPad and I paid for the app. Now, they want me to pay more for premium and I just can’t do it. How disappointing to do your loyal customers this way. Not the best way to keep your loyal customers."
"I have an issue with saving maybe 5 articles while only 3 or so appear to save."
"When in Private browsing mode in Safari, the Instapaper extension often will not work until I login to instapaper.com in another tab."
