I'm super surprised that you can't highlight text. In fact, I was so surprised, that I assumed it was a bug, so I deleted and redownloaded the app thinking that would solve the "problem". It was only after reading other reviews that I realized this is simply a neglegence of the developers. I use Instapaper as a way to gather research across the web, which includes highlighting important portions of articles, and then sharing those highlights to other apps. Huge bummer I can't do this on the Mac. Better off using the website.UPDATE: Yay! Finally added!

I’m a long time user and I love the simplicity as well as the latest features. Still, I mostly listen to articles and I’m getting tired of sharing them from Instapaper to Speechify so I can hear them from a high quality automated voice. Instapaper’s low quality speech feature is a non-starter for me and now, with many publishers featuring high quality AI voices, I find myself clicking back to original articles to listen which also defeats the purpose of IP. One last thing: I don’t know if there is an upgrade to Instapaper Save on MacOS. On Sequoia, I haven’t been able to save to particular IP folders. Thanks, in advance, for your attentiveness and dedication to an overall great product!

Instapaper is THE staple of how I consume news and media since I started using it in November of 2020. I integrate it with all my devices as well as Readwise to really get max convenience and readiblity when consuming, as well as max value when I read and HIGHLIGHT key parts to revisit.So... why is there no way for you to highlight and comment on the desktop version of the app??? This is a gaping hole in the ecosystem, and it really needs to be filled. If you can make highlighting a keyboard shortcut as well (once you've highlighted a passage), well that'd just be icing on the cake. But the main point is to fill that hole ASAP and this becomes a 5 star Mac app. Thanks for your consideration.

UPDATE: I had previously incorrectly reported that InstaPaper does NOT appear as a share destination in Safari, but it seems like there may have simply been a delay in showing up in System Preferences.While Instapaper has been one of my favorite iOS apps for over a decade (time really files…), it is with some despair that I am forced to report that this macOS "port" simply doesn't deliver.It's almost as if the developers just added a macOS target in XCode and shipped it.Window layouts get awkward past certain (not-that-large) sizes. Navigating back to the main UI from an article screen has a weird bug that leaves the main list view utterly unresponsive. There's no "Preferences…" item in the app menu (and nor does cmd-, summon the settings screen).Nothing about the app really feels like it belongs on my Mac. It's even more poorly ported than Apple's own News app.You're honestly better off using Instapaper on your Mac through their website and using their "Instapaper Save" Safari extension app to capture content for now.Here's to hoping there's a Swift UI rewrite sometime down the line that will better behave across the platforms, but for now, I'm going to uninstall.

Before finding Instapaper I was being drowned by the mass of information I was trying - and failing - to consume.It's changed the way I interact with information online. I'm not distracted by reading articles in the moment. Instead, I'm able to save things that I'm choosing for my future self to endulge in later.Finding things to read is more enjoyable. Now, I have a save place for keeping things I choose to read instead of allowing the internet to make those choices for me at the most inconvenient times.

I love this app and use it almost everday. Be it on a mac, ipad or phone, I can easily add a link to the service. The recently added voices feature is invaluable. I use the feature when on a dull treadmill workout or commute. Cannot recommend this app enough. Its very well designed to boot. They keep making it simpler and better looking with every version.

Instapaper's support website provides two methods of contacting support: Twitter/X and an email account. I no longer have a Twitter/X account, so when I had a problem with a feature that was provided with my newly purchased premium subscription, I used the email account provided. I immediately received a bounce-back stating "The user you are trying to contact is receiving mail at a rate prevents additional messages from being delivered." Over the last two weeks I've followed up three more times with this address. I didn't recieve bounc-back emails, but I have yet to recieve an acknowledgement of my emails. I've asked for a refund of premium at this point and may have to result to a charge back if I can't use the features I've paid for. If you're getting value with the free account, Instapaper is still great. But don't count on being able to contact support if you have problems. As such, avoid the premium service. Which is sad, Instapaper must surely need the revenue but they need to provide some level of customer support if they're providing a paid service.

I've been using Instapaper for a decade or more and have tried numerous other solutions, and I find Instapaper's ease of use is its strength. Not only does it save articles, it usually extracts the full text of the page, and can send that full text to a friend, readable even if they don't have a license for the article's site.

I really like Instapaper, it makes digesting long articles a lot easier and you can do it straight from the web. Their interface is a little more user friendly compared to the original websites though. I can't seem to highlight singular words on websites themselves, but it works fine in their interface. Also, please add compatibility for tables and charts! Images work great but tables get really messed up.

The app is incredible, I use it for all kinds of reading stuff, but I wise the folders were more advanced. It would be great to make folders within folders. Also, when a folder has a long title, the text on the side bar is so small it just looks like a thin, black line. I would rather have it show the first few words and then "..."

While Instapaper is amazing at keeping articles I want to read, storing articles I might want to go back to, and a lot of other things the text to speech offering is pitiful. The voiecs are archaic in quality, I have to copy everything over to Speechify to listen to it, because even their "enhanced" voices are not great at all.

I was excited when I saw Instapaper was finally a Mac app. As a premium subscriber, I think the service is worth it and especially thought so after getting the Mac app. But now that I've used the Mac app for a fe days I see it's esentially a basic reader app and it lacks most of the basic features the website and iOS apps have, including:• you cannot highlight text in the Mac app• you cannot copy text in the Mac app• you cannot copy article links in the Mac appOther basic features for a desktop app that are lacking included:• the ability to create folders in foldersAlso, when you move an article to a folder, the folder you are moving it to is obscured by the article itself.All in all, I was happy to see Instapaper finally come to the Mac, but and dissapointed by its extreme lack of basic features.
