Description
This is a fast and modern app for saving webpages and text snippets to read. When you find an article on the web you’d like to read without being sidetracked from whatever you’re doing, save it in the app and come back to it at a better time. There’s no need to make an account because everything happens right on your device.
The reading experience is paramount. Saved articles are shown beautifully with a comfortable, distraction-free layout. Side-by-side pages mean you can focus on reading instead of scrolling. Multiple columns on iPad make effective use of the large screen and avoid long lines, which would be hard to read.
