Browsing through your Twitter feed in the morning, you come across a link to an article about up-and-coming bands in the New Orleans music scene. A major fan, you've got the Revivalists on your iPod and you think they must play this stuff in heaven. You'd love to stop and read more, but it's 7:30 and you have to be on the road. Sadly, you'll be busy and offline for most of the day, and may forget where you saw the article before you have another moment to yourself online. As you put your mobile in your pocket, you wish there were a way to save that page to read offline, in case you happen to catch some down time on the road.
Meet Read It Later. Praised by The New York Times, Business Week, Time, TechCrunch, and others as "a DVR for the Web," Read It Later enables you to save online materials for later offline reading. Can't spare the time to finish that article, right now? Save the Web page to your Read It Later list and get your saved articles downloaded to your device. Then come back to the page when things calm down--even after you've left your Internet signal behind. Catch up on all of your "online" reading, even if you're on a cross-town subway or 10,000 feet in the air.
Read It Later works on multiple device platforms through a single account. Save articles from work or home, using your computer browser, mobile device, or more than 130 applications that support Read It Later. View or add pages to your Read It Later reading list on any computer or mobile device. Read It Later even bookmarks your scroll position in each article so you can start reading on your computer, switch to your phone, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Enjoy your saved articles in Read It Later's elegant and customizable Article Viewer. The Viewer distills page content to display only the text, images, captions, and videos from an article. Remember that article you ran across on your Twitter feed, this morning? Say that you saved that tweet to Read It Later. When you did that, Read It Later grabbed ahold of the tweeted article's content--the text, audio samples, and photos--while leaving behind the tweet shell. As a result, what's saved is the whole article and nothing but the article. The idea is to provide a reading experience that's clean, consistent, and content-rich, no matter the media source.
You can further refine the article's look using the Viewer's custom text size, font, and alignment settings.
Read It Later sorts your saved articles into three lists: Reading List, Current Reading, and Read Archive. Newly bookmarked materials go to your main Reading List, articles that you're partway through to Current Reading, and any articles you've marked "read" to the Read Archive, from which you can quickly recover anything that you want to go back to.
The app helps you keep your reading lists organized with tagging, sorting, and search features. Tag saved articles and pages to make them easier to review and sort. Sort your reading list by URL, title, tag, site, and newest or oldest articles. And ferret out particular articles and passages with word searches.
Read It Later has built-in sharing, so that you can pass on your saved articles and Web pages to your friends from your device, without returning to the Web page. Just copy the link, and choose from the Bluetooth, e-mail, Facebook, or SMS links that pop up. (You can use the same procedure to view the link in your browser.)

Very Useful App - Recommended,

This review is from: Read It Later Pro (App)
This is a very useful app for those that often multi-task. I may see an interesting article while searching for something else & this app allows me to save the article to read at my leisure. No need to have to remember how I "got there" to find it again later - it is stored on my SD and in my reading list. I purchased this while "on sale" but feel this app is definitely worth the full asking price. Great Job!

the best multi-platform news reading service,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Read It Later Pro (App)
I switched to Read It Later (RIL) from Instapaper when RIL released a dedicated Android app. There are unofficial Instapaper apps for Android, but all of them have limited functionality. Both services are great for downloading and organizing web pages that you want to read some time, but cant' right now (much nicer than keeping dozens tabs open in my PC web browser). The dedicated Android app automatically syncs my list between my PC, phone, and tablet, both for reading articles and for saving links from Facebook or Google Reader or any other app that supports link sharing. The app also caches your articles to your phone's SD card so you do not need a data connection when you are reading (e.g. on a plane or subway). RIL Pro is slick, fast, robust, and has all the features that I want for only $1.My only complaint is that the PC desktop website is not as powerful as the Android app, especially if you are not using Firefox.

Definitely recommended,
By dmlasp (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Read It Later Pro (App)
Downloaded this a few months ago on the Android Market and I highly recommend it. Well worth .99 or the full price. It integrates well with browsers on my laptop (now Chrome, previously IE); on Readitlater's website you can add buttons to your computer browser to add a page, check your reading list, or "Mark as Read." It also integrates well with my phone browser(Dolphin has an add-on; it worked fine when I used Opera Mobile too). And it integrates with various news apps, which allow you to "share" directly with Readitlater. Being able to organize into categories is great. The app doesn't give 100% off-line reading but it's still fine. Also per the developer's website, the iPhone version has more options (e.g., topics; delete but not archive; more sharing options) & will eventually get a "Digest" purchase option. The Dev responded immediately to my suggestion/comment on a forum-they are adding many of those in updates and for all I know may have added some. Note there are also various third-party apps for integration with Instapaper, but I tried Readitlater first (because it clearly looked like the best) and never had problems, so never got around to trying the others.
