We all know what it's like to be standing at a bus stop, sitting on a train, or fidgeting in some waiting room or other wishing we had something interesting to read. Of course, with the advancement of smart phones we can always catch up on the latest news or browse the Internet but in many places you may not be able to get a signal or the connection may be so slow that you're in danger of throwing your phone against the wall closely followed by your head because of the frustration!
Instapaper is a great app that is available on the iPhone, which could eliminate this problem. This app enables you to save pages interesting pieces from magazines, papers and other media so that you can read them offline later on when you get the chance. The app is able to sync with your web account which means that all of the data you save will be in one place no matter where you got it from.
The text that you choose is downloaded onto Instapaper in a format that is easy to read on the iPhone, so you don't have to sit on the train like a crazy person moving your phone from one position to another in order to read what's on the page! This is the ideal way to keep yourself entertained with content that you know you will find interesting because you're the one that saved it! It is also perfect for those times when you know you will want something to read but that there is a risk of having no connection, such as when you are commuting or waiting.
The great thing is that there are over 150 other apps that support sending to Instapaper and you can even send lengthy emails to the app so that you can read them at your leisure when you get time.
