  • Simple, powerful, reading queue

    Matter comes to fill the gap after Pocket closed down, and I love its simplicity and useful features. Finding things to read in the discover or related articles section is nice. You can also add newsletters or rss feeds. Adding things to read later is simple as using the share sheet anywhere on iOS or via browser extensions for other devices. With premium you get a natural sounding voice reader, article summaries, highlights, search and no limits on the archive. I like sending links from google news or social sites to fill the download queue for stuff to read later.
  • Pretty good, missing a few things

    A widget for unread articles would be a game changer, or the option to buy once. I just can’t justify paying monthly.
  • Can use with only one device

    I tried to get it in mt phone. But my email confirmation never arrives. I wrote the company - check spam/junk, which I of course had done. No other help available I gave up and deleted it. After several emails back and forth, they never did anything with the information I gave them April Update I thought I’d give them another chance. Still no email confirmation received
  • Great concept, mediocre execution

    I love the concept of the app, but it falls far short of being your go-to reading app. It’s very difficult to get PDFs or text emails into the app. Sometimes the emails are in your queue quickly, and sometimes they don’t show up at all. The browser extension sometimes pulls in the article, and sometimes it only creates a browser link, which is no better than a bookmark. You can supposedly add content via the iOS share menu, but it’s very limited in what can really be shared to it. I’m a paying “pro” user, but there is no response to support questions. They don’t seem to be updating the app.
  • Best way to convert content to audio

    Great product that allows me to save news articles from multiple sources, and provide text to voice playback from a saved queue. Saving works great with paywalled articles, but the caveat is that if you are on ios, the paywalled article must be brought up in Safari to allow the full article to have text to voice playback. For desktop systems, the Chrome extension works with paywalled articles.
  • Better than Readwise

    For my use case (listening to articles), this is so much better than readwise reader. Rarely it gets messed up on the TTS.
  • Best read later app

    I’ve tried several different apps but Matter is the prettiest and best interface. I just always go back to Matter.

    Solid and customizable reader, appreciate the Discover tab and being able to follow writers/publications. Support for any and all RSS feeds so I don’t have to rely on newsletter workarounds would be appreciated.
  • Good App, Bad Support

    I like what this app has to offer, but I don’t have anything nice to say about the support. I’ve opened multiple tickets with the support team via the Slack channel available via the app and I’ve heard nothing in weeks.
