Instapaper 7.1

Instapaper 7.1 is now live on the App Store! With this release, we’re happy to announce 3D touch support for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, alongside a bunch of improvements and fixes.

3D Touch Support

We’ve added Quick Action support, so you can access whichever part of your Instapaper you want using 3D Touch on the Instapaper icon on your homescreen. The shortcut options are entirely customizable from the Instapaper app Settings.

We’ve also added 3D Touch support within the app. Using 3D Touch, you can now preview in-body links directly from the Instapaper reading view of an article.

Alex Voice for Text-to-Speech

Instapaper 7 shipped with an issue that prevented the Alex voice from working as described in the release notes. We’ve fixed that issue and all English-language articles will now default to Alex, so long as the voice is downloaded on the device. You can download the high-quality Alex voice in iOS Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech > Voices.

Thumbnails

Thumbnails will now dim appropriately for night modes.

Additionally, we have fixed an issue that caused some images to be temporarily displayed on the wrong cells.  

iPad Pro Support

The 7.1 release supports the iPad Pro, with optimized margins and layouts for that particular device.

This release also has whole lot of other fixes and improvements based on your feedback. If you have any questions, feature requests for future updates, or issues that you’d like us to sort out, please reach out to support@help.instapaper.com or @InstapaperHelp on Twitter. We love hearing from our users and we thank you for choosing Instapaper!
