Hey there, glad to hear you're enjoying Matter! Please let us know if we can ever help out with anything else at hello@getmatter.com
Absurdly Expensive, weird social features
This app is the shiny new thing for internet nerds, but I can’t see a good reason to pay the absurdly large subscription fee. Moreover, why does this app need to collect your contacts?
Developer Response ,
Hey there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry this wasn't the experience you wanted. If we can help make your experience better, please let us know at hello@getmatter.com
the only read it later app where I actually read all the stuff I saved
Matter isn't just a convenient way to save articles and podcasts, but it's a really effective research tool. It transcribes everything you add to your queue, podcasts and youtube videos as well. And for articles it will read them too.
I use Matter as a replacement to a podcast app, I put things in my queue, put my airpods in and go for a walk and it read my queue of content to me. If I hear something I want to save I can save the text to Readwise from the transcript.
It also has a Roam Research extension if you don't use Readwise.
Overall, a really polished product built by a team that's committed to continuous iteration and building quality opinionated software.

Hey there, really appreciate you taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. Lots more in store!
