Ratings and Reviews
Subscription exhaustion
I realise developers need to get something back for all the work they’ve put in developing apps. But we’ve come to a point where you can’t even breath, without having to pay a monthly fee (figuratively). And for me going forward I’ve made the decision to only buy apps that use a one-off payment and maybe an x-year upgrade to a new version. So for this reason i’m out.

Excellent read it later app though a few small suggestions…
Came here from another app and Matter is much better. Fast, clean interface, works really well. I love being able to have all my newsletters go to Matter rather than cluttering up my email inbox too. Having newsletters and articles I’ve saved read aloud to me is awesome as well. Also, customer support were excellent when I had a few teething problems setting things up.
A few small suggestions that would make the app even better though.
- The ability to auto delete newsletters from the inbox. For example I’d like to set any newsletters I haven’t highlighted or added to my library to delete automatically after 3 days.
- The ability to categorise my inbox with tags. I.e. to add a tag to an email address to say that newsletters from The Athletic are sport, from the NYT are News etc and then to be able to filter my inbox down to just see my “news” newsletters or “sports” newsletters etc.
- The parsing is the best I’ve seen on a read it later app but I’d really like to be able to correct any mistakes the system does make by manually changing the author, publication name etc.
- would love to be able to download articles I’ve saved, as PDFs rather than having to go back to the original website if I need to share or print for whatever reason.
All in all though an excellent app, well worth the sub and I look forward to seeing where the devs take it next.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate the kind words and the feedback! We'll look into implementing these suggestions and will be hard at work improving the app in general :) If you have any other requests or feedback, please let us know at hello@getmatter.com!
The read-later app that Pocket wishes it was
I’ve been a long-time subscriber to Pocket Premium but have recently cancelled my subscription after giving up on v8. Although I’m gutted to have lost my Pocket reading history, Matter offers so much more functionality, whether it’s an immeasurably better reading experience or native support for email subscriptions and RSS feeds.
If you want a read-later app, Matter is the best one out there.
PS Also, the support from Alicia T when I had a problem onboarding was first-rate!
