Russell Neches (ID: 000000c54c342b5e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/20/2014 The settings page has no button to actually save your Instapaper account information, so the app does not work.

Mikulas Zacok (ID: 0000004166bea7c3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/08/2013 amazing

Seth Blumberg (ID: 000000c4f007705b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/02/2013 It works. It sends the current page to Instapaper. A suggestion: When I entered my credentials, I saw a message that said, "Username and password valid". However, it was in red, so the first three times, my brain told it it said "invalid". Change the color to green or something if the credentials work.

(ID: ) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/10/2012 Simple and effective. Only one problem: If I'm using the right-click feature on a site that requires a subscription (even when I'm logged in), it saves the page as though I'm not logged on.
