Comments on PaperSpan - Read It Later for Android

★★★★☆ Gio Esposito · Dec 4, 2025
Very good replacement for Pocket but shame it lacks certain obvious features like being able to archive/delete an article while reading it i.e. without returning to the main list and finding it again.
★★★★★ Vidhya S R · Oct 7, 2025
I was looking for an alternative for pocket to save articles and read later. This app does a great job meeting my needs!
★★★★☆ Maky K. · Jul 17, 2025
Paper Span is pretty useful. Although I miss some features: - when I'm done with an article, I would like to remove it ideally from the reading page. - add another page to Paper Span after I click to a link in the original page. And/or add an option to save a link from a page directly in the Paper Span reader. - when I come back to the app, it would be great if it opens the last page (it does, AFAIK) and scroll where I paused.
★☆☆☆☆ Mohammed Iqbal · Nov 13, 2025
The latest update has messed up how the saved articles are displayed. The very first title does not display correctly. You have to change the views in order to access the very first article properly. Before the update the application worked really well
★☆☆☆☆ Devlin Riggs · Sep 13, 2025
Downgrading to one star since the text to speech feature now randomly stops in the middle of articles. This app is truly useless. I downloaded this to use after Pocket shut down and it's just okay. My favorite feature is the text to speech, so it will read me what I have saved. But I get a network error whenever I try to save something to it on my mobile device (on Wi-Fi of cellular data), making it almost useless. Not willing to upgrade to premium if even basic features don't work.
★☆☆☆☆ Ying D · Jul 2, 2025
Imported 40k bookmarks 1. Webpage load all bookmarks in 1 shot instead of pagination which is very slow 2. Android app just crashes 3. No way to delete all the bookmarks like other read it later app
