Instapaper for Android: Now Optimized for Tablets
We updated the Instapaper Android app today, focusing on a range of design and performance improvements, new functions, and usability enhancements for Android tablet users. These upgrades were introduced for Android smartphone users last month; our aim is that the user experience will be consistent across all Android devices, just as with iOS and web. Head over to Google Play to check it out.
Here’s what’s new on Android tablet users:
- Classic Instapaper touches like pull-to-refresh and video support
- Updated color schemes and minimalist layout
- Tools for sorting, filtering, and managing your reading queue
- Better pagination
- A new native action bar
And what’s new for all Android users:
- Language support: 13 new languages!
- Users can now report text problems right in each article
- Real full screen in Dark mode
As always, we’re focused on making Instapaper the best reading experience, and hope you’ll give us your feedback and suggestions. Next up: Kindle improvements, better text parsing, and some end-of-year fun. Watch this space.
