The in-built Safari app on iOS devices has a reading list function allowing users to pin up webpages for later reading. What this does is also sieve out distractions such as advertorials making it easier to read the often lengthy articles. Unfortunately, the in-house reader bare cuts it.
Instapaper is an extremely convenient way to get your articles sorted out. Many a time throughout the day as we surf the net at work or in class, we chance upon lengthy articles that we do not have the privileged of time to enjoy. But while bookmarking the site simply saves the article down for later reference, Instapaper makes it easier to read.
Instapaper takes off irrelevant details in articles without compromising on readability. Also, it has a wide array of customization functions ranging from the ability to change up font sizes to brightness settings which all help in creating a wonderful reading experience.
I loved the clean and well-organized look portrayed by the user interface which was just amazing to scroll through.
Instapaper is a handy app that everyone who reads online often should download.
