Comments on Instapaper for Android

★★★★☆ Jeremy Olson · Mar 18, 2026

Truly a fantastic replacement for Pocket and does everything I need! It would be great to have a two-column reader view, though. For foldable and tablets. Makes reading much more comfortable. Extra credit for a nice paye turn animation!

★★★★☆ Andy Middleton · Oct 18, 2026

Moved to this after the ridiculous decision to discontinue Pocket app. Instapaper is fine. I wish I could press the icon in the popup when sharing an article to open it directly to read.

★★★★☆ Divya S.K · Nov 19, 2025

Simple, minimalistic & effective-especially easy to read in my Kobo Libra-though would prefer new update to include categorization in the archive folder & to warn error if already existing link shared to app previously.

★★★★★ Charles Brock · Nov 6, 2025

Instapaper has been the perfect go to app for saving articles to read later when Pocket went out of business. I do wish it came with a how-to-guude. It's taken me some time to navigate, but it's working now, and I've all but forgotten Pocket.

★☆☆☆☆ Brett Rohaly · Nov 25, 2025

It was working great. It keeps telling me wrong password, so I used the forgot password, they email me link to change password, I changed it, and every time I use new password, sorry wrong password.

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Wood · Jun 18, 2026

The latest update did NOT fix the bug of deleted articles reloading.

★★☆☆☆ Suryan Sparrow · Mar 19, 2026

Wonderful app but the reading experience spoils because of one thing. App is really good but not many fonts are available in the app. Major thing in the app doesn't have the justified alignment page setting feature yet, due to that paragraph looks weird while reading. Please make justified alignment feature available then it will be more convenient to read

★★☆☆☆ Fey Li · Jun 14, 2026

Accidentally deleted article, there's no Trash/Deleted folder to recover it at all. Not even if you try to act quickly in the first 5 mins, it's simply not possible AT ALL to recover the accidentally deleted article

★★☆☆☆ Mihovil Frater · Feb 19, 2026

After installing the app, I cannot use other PDF viewers. When opening PDF, it just has an option to add it to instapaper

★☆☆☆☆ DD Go · Jun 25, 2026

Links are not updated - invisible. Only after relogging in do links appear. Too much of a hassle. App has no delete account. Account deleted from web browser
