Comments on Instapaper for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Gerry McGowan · Jun 10, 2026

Love this app, particularly sharing articles to my Kobo!

★★★★☆ Matt Kelly · Dec 4, 2025

As a pocket replacement it's fairly good, however I would love an Adaptive Icon and a way to immediately open the app after saving an article through the share sheet - rather than just have tag and archive options.

★★★★☆ 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!

★☆☆☆☆ Andrew Wood · Jun 18, 2026

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

★★☆☆☆ Waseem Ashraf · Apr 2, 2026

This app has lots of bugs. Sometimes the labels don't show up, although a new one has been added right before the try. Sometimes links that I've saved are missing which come back the other time.

★☆☆☆☆ Adam · Sep 28, 2025

Sharing an article from Brave to Instapaper pulls up a notice that says "Saved" and the option to Tag it Archives it. I open Instapaper... and the article isn't there.

★★☆☆☆ Azmah Abd · Jan 14, 2026

I noticed that there's a speed reading feature. Please please please enable uploading PDF free for up to 4 files a day 😭 By the way, some articles have interactive and clickable button/toggle on them. There must be a way for the users to access these even after downloading it! Also, to the developers, I suggest that you guys should add bionic reading font. The words would become easier to detect if there's a mode like that.

★★☆☆☆ Chris Christodoulou · Oct 27, 2025

I can understand not being able to search the text, but not being able to search article titles unless going premium is nonsense...

★☆☆☆☆ 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.
