Simple and really effective read it later App. Very useful. Nice read out loud built in. On initial install, the developer was very responsive. A few extra bells and whistles would be nice (e.g.ability to star or tag, for example) and the inclusion of a dedicated desktop app would make this solid app awesome.

Best way to capture and read articles on a mobile device. Replaced all other "read later" apps for me. All these years later, PaperScan is maintained, I do appreciate that!
