Not Sharing via Chrome! Found articles on Chrome Browser, shared them with Readability, went to Readability app and hey presto - my reading list is empty! Only works it seems via the apps own + browser system.

Continuous reading is good But this Android version lacks a very fundamental feature as on the iOS version: Estimated reading time. Please add that feature!

A fantastic companion to @Voice text to speech reader. A fantastic companion to @Voice text to speech reader.
★★☆☆☆
:( so disappointed I was so excited to find this app but when I downloaded it, it wouldn't sync. I had saved articles to my reading list on my computer but the app said my reading list was empty :(
★★☆☆☆
Very inefficient app Terrible user experience. Scrolling through the reading list is clunky, even on a Samsung S6. Often I have to tap on an entry 4 or 5 times for it to open up the article. And whilst reading an article, it will annoyingly jump to the next article when the bottom of the current one is reached, whether I want it to or not. I'm moving over to Pocket.
★★☆☆☆
Apparently this needs a major update: refresh of my reading list does not actually work. I tried deleting some articles to see whether there was some storage limit I'd reach, but no help there. Is anyone from Readability listening?
