All day long I get emailed interesting-looking but lengthy articles from friends, and I never chip away at them,b/c I'm at my desk working. Later on, these same articles (typically from The New Yorker, The Slate, or maybe just a fascinating but wordy blog post), would be great fodder for a plane or subway ride, but they're unavailable b/c I'm offline.

This just made the 1 train and the stinky seat hog beside me a bearable experience! A great app for any avid newsie with a commute.

Great idea, and the price is right, but OMG what a goat roap to get the thing up and running. Some instructions would be helpful as it’s a rather complicated process involving installing stuff on your computer and then syncing the phone before the web app will work on the phone. And really, I wouldn’t even have minded doing all that, if it hadn’t taken forever to find the obscure place that explained the installation process. And then after all that, the thing still doesn’t work. I give up, too much of a big pain in the...

I've been using Instapaper since its release, and I've found it to be a great tool for web browsing. The "Read Later" bookmarklet acts as sort of a tivo for the internet, allowing you to catch up on your favorite content at your own convenience.

I had this site on my home screen already, but this app has replaced that and then some. The fact that I can read saved articles when riding the bus when I am out of WiFi range is great. Obviously that is a feature with iPod touch users in mind.

Now I am able to read offline and to me, that's worth it. Thanks for the great app!

Nice idea, poor execution. Why?

Months ago, I'd set up an Instalaper account based upon some web 2.0 guru's glowing recommendation. Together with this new iPod Touch and this app, the Instapaper account allows me the chance to load this thing up with reading material for when I don't have Wifi access. It's a winner.

This application is fantastic. And it's incredibly simple. It's a customizable news aggregator that lets you choose articles you'd like to read and come back to them later (even when you're offline). It's that easy. I have nothing to gripe about. This is how I want to use my iphone.

Oh man, you won't belive me howmuch I was waiting for this feature on iphone and now there's an app that can do this. Reading offline webpages is a cool idea. Apple should have given this feature by feature built in into the iphone OS.

I love instapaper for my laptop. Thank god I can start using it for my iPhone.

The offline-reading capability is great!

I've been using Instapaper on the web since its release, and I'm thrilled with the offline iPhone version. For years I've wanted something useful to do with my phone when I'm offline (or when EDGE makes browsing impossible) and Instapaper has finally cracked that nut. It's brilliant in its simplicity. So many of the early iPhone apps are just packaged up web pages, so it's great to see something original that solves a real problem. And it's free!

Easily save pages to your device! I've been waiting for an offline news reader like this since the iPhone came out.

The best thing about this app is not only the ability to save quickly save webpages for later viewing, but also the ability to *read only the text* of the web page. Since I use this to read news articles, it's great to just be able to have the text in a font that is easy to read and where I can just scroll down. It seems to do a great job of parsing the relevant text out of the web page for you. But if I want to look a the images, I can pop back over the to "web" view and see them too! Gives me exactly what I need at a price I can't complain about. Thanks Marco!

This is a nice app and has come in handy several times when traveling with my iTouch. Definately worth downloading! : )

I've used the web app on my desktop extensively, and this is a natural extension for it. Whenever an article is too long to finish, I use Instapaper to mark it for later. Having an offline copy in my pocket is a HUGE convenience. I can't wait for additional features, but it's indespensible already.

It does what it should do, and it's good at it. Instapaper is an excellent service by itself on the web, but this mobile app makes it the best thing since potato salad.

Who hasn't come across a website they like, but then run out of time or have to go. This app saves it for reading later. App does as it states. I simple concept sometimes goes a long way. Amazing idea and app. Thanks for making it. =).

Even though I have just downloaded this app, my limited use of it tells me that it will be an invaluable to my iPod Touch. Now, whenever I am away from a wifi connection, I can catch up on articles that I've been meaning to read. Since I'm typically pretty bored without wifi, this is great because I'll still have plenty of material to read and catch up on. Also, it integrates perfectly with the web based version of Instapaper. This thing is beautiful in it simplicity. I give it a 4 only because I know it has some room to grow, but it could easily become a 5.

i am so glad this finally appeared on the app store-i've been looking for it for the last two days. no more pulling up pages and typing in addresses to find something to read when i'm bored, or feeling bad that i can't concentrate on a really interesting article right this second. seriously, this is the app i never knew i always wanted. get it.

The perfect iPod touch app!

For some reason it is not working on my iPod touch. Too bad!! I was really looking forward to using this app. Hopefully the glitches will be ironed out in the next update!

Very useful for people that are too busy to read an article at the moment but would like to read it later.

Jan 31, 2009: I installed Instapaper on my iPhone and on my computer in about two minutes. No problem. Contrary to another reviewer, your saved pages are not stored at a website, but in the memory of your iPhone. You view them offline, exactly as stated. Except.. For some reason, one page I saved said " Not available offline, would you like to go online?" But that was just that one page. As previously stated, you might like to save a page and view it in Instapaper instead of Safari because it's easier to read there. Follow the instructions on the website on your computer to put the "Read Later" in your Bookmarks bar. After you do that, sync your iPhone and be sure that in your syncing preferences you sync Bookmarks. Now, when you are in Safari on your iPhone, if you want to save a page, tap the Bookmarks icon, go to Bookmarks bar, and "Read Later" will be right there. Tap it. Bingo, page saved to Instapaper. Or you can save pages on your computer by tapping "Read Later" in the Bookmarks Bar, and then read them later on your iPhone in Instapaper. Someone also said they couldn't delete pages, but that is simple. Tap edit, touch the minus sign in front of the page you want to delete, and then tap delete. This app installs in a breeze and works perfect.

I love Instapaper. It is one of my top iPhone apps. Now I actually READ all those articles I was saving to "get to when I have time." I just wish there was a way to integrate it with my RSS Reader (Google Reader). I'd even switch readers if another one provided "Read Later" support. Anyway, the free app is great and I'll probably upgrade to the pro. I hope that more people discover how great this is.

Although 2.1 adds few features and improvements, it does so at the expense of removing "remembering last read position" feature. Perhaps 1.3 was meant to be a "pro" feature, but it seems wrong to remove something major without making it known to the public. While I am all for author making money through ads (and 10 webpage limitation seems more than fair to me), I advise others against upgrading. As for the new features, the UI is somewhat nicer and it seems a bit faster (not by much though). But none are groundbreaking must have.

It's a shame that most people reading these reviews are new downloaders that have no idea how great v1.3 was and are stuck with this mess that they created it into. I have no problem adding ads and a limit of ten articles is reasonable. However, it's beyond all logic to take away the ability to remember your place. The whole point of this app is to use it when an article is too long, and now it'll consist of constant scrolling and re-reading. This I'm sure will lead many people to either look for another similar app, or looking to google on how to downgrade back to when it was useable. We can all understand that money needs to be made, but you have to keep your common sense.

With the most recent version you are now limited to having 10 articles at a time, which is a dramatic decrease from what they used to allow. I wouldn't recommend updating unless they change this back to how it used to be. Don't get me wrong, the app is great, but this new limitation is somewhat disappointing.
