Features and Benefits Act as a webpage bookmark

-When you come across a long article that you are interested in, but you don’t have time to read through it, this app provides a good place to gather the saved web pages. You can also create a folder to categorize your articles. It helps journalists to organize the researches for specific projects.

Access the webpages offline-When you are in the air, or somewhere you cannot access the internet, you can still read the pages if you have downloaded them in advance. It also helps journalists to review the important information or data they need anytime, without internet constraint.

Browse friends’ liked article or editors’ selection-It provides a good platform to explore other readings or news while you are reading your saved articles.

Sync the articles across all devices-After registering a Instapaper account, you can save and read the articles on PC, iPad, iPhone, or kindle. It is very convenient for you or journalists to retrieve the articles.

My thoughts User-friendly interface and good reading experience

-I am impressed by its interface, which is very easy to use. It also provides high readability with text-optimized view and adjustable fonts. I don’t need to zoom in and side-scroll to read the text. The articles’ layouts are very clean as there is no ads. I read comfortably with this app.

Videos part can be improved -You can bookmark videos in this app too, but you cannot access them offline. It would be perfect if videos can be retrieved offline.

Note: You can create highlights and notes on text from any article, but only 5 highlights/month are free. There are other functions in paid version, such as full-text search, which would be very useful for journalists. It costs HKD$240 per year.
