Instapaper iOS App Gets A Makeover With Latest Update [Apps]

Ooh la la! Appears like the Instapaper iOS app , one of our favorite tools, has received quite a makeover and many new features in its latest update:

- Article list on iPhone now includes the first few lines of text from articles, like on iPad. On iPad, more text is now shown. The text is downloaded for brand spanking new articles only: RE-DOWNLOAD ALL ARTICLES in Settings for it to apply on your previously downloaded articles.

- Article list now indicates approximate article length and progress with a row of dots, a bit like how it’s done on a Kindle’s home screen.

- iPad updates are MUCH faster.

- iPhone can now toggle Dark mode from articles, like iPad, within the font panel.

- New technique to switch to Dark mode automatically at night, based on sunset times on your region. (This can be so cool.)

- Overhauled logins to tolerate username changes, give more helpful errors, and connect the ” username is already taken” bug.

- New Sharing options: Send to OmniFocus, Send to QuickReader (supported by its next version), Copy Link, Copy Article Text. Also fixed sharing bugs with Twitter and Twittelator Pro.

- New approach to skip the in-app Browser and open links directly in Safari.

- New feature to make sure that you just’re using an identical account inside the app and Mobile Safari and sync for your choice of accounts if they differ.

- Simplified bookmarklet installation and improved help text.

- Fixed handing of in-page anchors (including most footnotes) and mailto: links.

- Added support for the ” ihttp://” URL scheme, so whenever you can’t get the bookmarklet, the email address, or Copy working to add pages, you’ll be able to edit Safari’s URL field and insert an ” i” before the ” http://” , tap Go, and Instapaper will launch and offer to add that page.

- Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

If you’ve purchased Instapaper already, try to be ready to download the update now. Otherwise you’ll should drop five bucks at the iTunes store first. [ iTunes ]
