Overall pretty good...

Over the past year, they have added the ability to insert saved passwords to the login field so you don't have to type it out each time. That's a huge improvement that should take care of a lot of the less than perfect reviews. I beleive more instructions could be given on how to use this product. It wasn't very clear at first and it took a lot of tinkering to figure it all out. Overall, it serves its purpose.

Can't paste passwords into login form; otherwise reasonable toe-dip foray into the Mac

Adds a Safari toolbar button that—when clicked upon—sends whatever you're looking at in the current tab to your Instapaper queue, then temporarily displaying the familiar Instapaper banner at the top of the page confirming the operation, and allowing you to optionally file the item somewhere besides the general "inbox".

Glaring bug: the app's login window disallows the ability to paste the password; this silly bug disincentivizes the use of strong, site-specific passwords. Because the system's default password input box supports pasting passwords, it is almost painful that this is the case, and prevents me from granting more than 2 stars for this version.

Fixing this bug will bump my rating to 3 stars.

The path to 4-stars from me would come from the addition of the following capabilities:

1. Keychain support.

2. Support as destination for URL share sheet.

A 5-star product would add the above, system-level capabilities plus third-party password wallet support.

Also, a keyboard shortcut would be lovely 😉

All of my usual names are taken ,

Works well, BUT...

It needs to support the ability to either auto-fill the credentials via a password manager or at the very least allow one to paste the password in.

Thanksfully, logging in shouldn't need to be done often.
