Readability for iOS

Move Over Instapaper Instapaper's met its match. It did a while ago as a service, but now that the Readability iOS app is out, I can safely say that I'll never use Instapaper again. I used Instapaper for a long time. I was a paid Pro user back when it was still $10. Instapaper lost me a while ago. After the major update that added that stupid browse bar, friends and changed the stars to hearts, I just hated looking at the iOS app. I tried out Readability since it was new and pretty and immediately loved it.

You can choose a look and log into your Twitter and Facebook accounts for sharing purposes. I also love that there's no "back" button while you're reading an article. You just swipe to the right and you're back at the "Reading List". If you tap once on the screen, you get a menu at the bottom that lets you star, archive, delete, adjust style or share the article. And I'm so glad Readability uses ☆'s. I despise the ♡'s in Instapaper. Mechanics Readability is where Instapaper was, functionally , a few years ago. Readability is all about you . There aren't any social features, you don't have "friends" but you also don't have folders or feeds you can
