Keith Grose (ID: 000000c416760f70) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/26/2023 Overpriced for what it is. If you want to read your own email subscriptions, you have to pay. Better options out there including Pocket, Google Keep, Substack.

Gabriel Beaudoin (ID: 000000e22ab8df3a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/17/2023 Unfortunately this prevents some website to run properly, like the carrd.co editor.

Rajat Bhatt (ID: 000000533323c8ab) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/09/2023 matter does not offer the same services as Pocket, which is more affordable. Also does not save the subscription links as advertised .Additionally, customer service for matter has a significant delay in response time. I will be choosing to cancel their annual subscription and switch to Pocket. Instapaper may be beneficial for saving emails.

Ryan Martin (ID: 0000003193ba278f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2022 Matter is changing the game in a world full of overly complicated productive consumption apps. Easily one of the most used apps in my personal tech stack and an integral part of mindful media consumption. I can't wait to see what Ben and the team do next. 🚀
