Instapaper (Marco Arment): The Perfect iPhone App

★★★★★ (iTMS)

Every now and then we bookmark something that we want to look at but don’t have the time to. By the time we’re back at the computer, the thing we wanted to see has been long forgotten and lost in the clutter of the Bookmarks Menu. Marco Arment’s Instapaper is the web app/iPhone app to end this nasty habit that we all have. Instapaper should come stock on every mobile device, it’s just that good.

The interface is very simple with the list of articles or websites that you’ve chosen to “Read Later.” Your saved websites are loaded within Instapaper with no need to launch Safari. When you’re done reading, edit your list of saved materials and get rid of the things that you no longer need. Press update at the bottom to load articles that you’ve bookmarked on the computer but haven’t yet loaded onto your iPhone.

The premise is simple and beautifully executed. Everyone needs this handy app for reading on-the-go. ~~Zack Shapiro
