I've been Matter for a year. It's amazing. Beyond dramatically improving my content consumption experience it's served for discovery to new content I wouldn't have found otherwise. Highly recommend it.

Matter works well on text-heavy sites but falls apart on sites that are image heavy and articles that have code blocks. Most of the times, it misses images and code blocks. It also fails to pick mixed rich formatting, e.g. italicized paragraphs with strongly emphasized text in between. In its current iteration, it is not going to replace Pocket for me but I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

I very recently discovered this app and have LOVED it as a read it later app. Instapaper and Pocket never quite hit the sweet spot for me. I love how Matter consolidates all my email newsletters into one places, syncs with Readwise, and overall provides a great reading experience.

Long time user of services like Instapaper and Read It Later (that became Pocket), and found out about the beta of Matter from @mgsiegler months ago. After using the product as my primary reader now and seeing the evolution and responsiveness of @benspringwater & team, I am just adding another voice that this is a great product already with a lot of upside. Keep it up Matter team!

Matter is the best thing to land on my phone in the last year hands down. I've had many similar read-it-later apps in the past. Matter is the first one to have me coming back and actually reading later :) The feature set is all time (speech synthesis and easy highlighting / commenting are my faves), and the team has been shipping new capabilities at break-neck pace. I can't wait for what they add next 🚀 Congrats on the launch @benspringwater @peperomioides!

Incredible app. For all those who got tired of doom scrolling, it's the perfect app to have a smart feed to go back to at any time.

Review Matter?

Reviewers see Matter as a genuinely useful save-for-later tool that makes it easier to collect articles and other content and return to them when convenient. The main praise is simple organization and queuing, which helps people stay focused without losing interesting finds. The biggest complaints are about access and platform support, with one user wanting an Android app and easier direct access. Audio stands out as the clearest weak spot: one reviewer expected to use it heavily but found playback unreliable and speed controls lacking.
