If you are one of the people who likes to read and finds something interesting on the internet every day but does not have time to read it at that moment, it is likely that the link is saved on the desktop of your device or in the favorites of your computer. The problem comes when we do not remember that we have something to read. This is where Instapaper comes in, a read-it-later type app, which allows us to save web pages to read them calmly when we have time. But not only did we find Instapaper on the market, but Pocket, its only competition, has been eating Instapaper's ground, forcing the new owner, Pinterest, to abandon the subscription system, for which we had to pay. 3 euros per month.
The new owners of Instapaper just announced that they leave the subscription system they have used practically since their birth as a service so now we can use all your options for free just like Pocket. Pocket offers us a large number of functions for free, but it also offers us a subscription system, with extras not necessary on a day-to-day basis, while Instapaper did, hence, little by little Instapaper has been eating ground . Without going any further, Instapaper required a subscription to be able to search among the articles that we had saved, something that with Pocket has always been free.
We do not know what the intentions of the new Instapaper owners are, but it is to be assumed that over time they will add a type of subscription similar to that offered by Pocket, such as the possibility of saving a copy of all the pages that we have stored on their servers, so that if the web disappears we can continue to have access to that information.
