It's something we've all experienced – stumbling across a really juicy article but not having time to read the whole thing.

Well, now you never have to miss out again with Instapaper.

Later alligator

Instapaper is a simple, elegant app that allows you to save virtually anything online to read later on your mobile device.

This might mean news articles, recipes, videos, music – whatever takes your fancy.

Simply swipe the content and Instapaper will save it to the cloud, where it can be accessed later on your smartphone, tablet or Kindle.

Content discovery

But there's more to Instapaper than saving things. One of the app's strengths is content discovery.

You can follow friends on Instapaper, while 'Editor's Picks' provides a curated list of content you might have missed. Articles can be saved in folders, while the paid Pro Version of Instapaper lets users search entire archives.

Custom features

We like the way Instapaper allows you to customise your content. You can choose to save your articles in 14 different fonts, three colour palettes, and in different sizes and spacing.

Plus if there's a particular passage in an article you like, Instapaper also lets you highlight this so it can be easily searched for and shared.

Need more convincing? Instagpaper is free.
