Instapaper on the iPhone and iPod touch
Read saved web pages on the go, even offline, with Instapaper.
Download nowSimply install the Instapaper app and download your unread articles when you have WiFi, EDGE, or 3G coverage, then you can read them anytime: on the train, on the bus, on line at the bank, or in space (you never know).
Text-optimized view
Like the Instapaper web interface's Text option, the app downloads a text-only version of each page by default, using ideal formatting for maximum readability in either orientation on the iPhone and iPod touch.
Text-only mode also removes the need to zoom or horizontally pan like you so frequently need to do in Mobile Safari. And no more accidental side-scrolling when reading a long text column.
Free or Pro?
Try Instapaper Free first if you'd like a taste of offline page reading, then buy Instapaper Pro for versatility, convenience, and the full feature set.
