en Save-animation is ugly and doesn’t prevent you from saving duplicates, but it’s otherwise good.

en It doesn't do what it claims to do: enable you to read pages offline, there's no such function.

en Just downloaded. Seems good so far. Regarding people saying that nothing happens when they click the button. I observed that happening but it is fixed if you refresh the page. My guess is that it is saving the last site that was loaded instead of the site you are actively looking at. This is an issue when you have many tabs open and are going back through them and saving them to instapaper. This bug isn't a deal breaker but it would be nice if it was fixed.
