Matter: 1% Smarter Every Day App Reviews

Been using Matter for a couple months now, switched over from Pocket and I’m loving it! The feed is clean and the keyboard shortcuts for highlighting and notes are super convenient. I’ve especially enjoyed the ability to listen to my articles and cleanly save video and text in one queue. I’d really like the newsletters feature to work better for me. I got it all hooked up with email forwarding, and I can see them come in on the desktop version, but I do most of my reading on my phone, where I c

I’m a few months in now, and this app has become part of my daily routine. There are a few things that could be improved to make it perfect: (1) RSS limitations: with a standard like RSS, I don’t understand why so many legitimate feeds are not recognized (2) sometimes I’m afraid to open an article because I don’t want to be flooded with “since you read…” the next day (3) the reading minutes meter seems to not go away unless you uninstall and reinstall—I just don’t want to see this at all. I’m ho

Pretty good app. The content is very much lacking. I’m a big proponent of female authors and for whatever reason content from female authors is completely lacking. I’ve “followed” and “favorited” female authors but the content is so narrow that I consistently am not provided with any articles from them. Most of the days out of the week there’s just no options. I’ve falling back to simply finding my own content for which there’s no reason for me to pay for this service anymore.

Overall it does a good work but search needs work urgently

Longtime Pocket user having evaluated everything I can get my hands on as a replacement! Matter feels like the winner for me. It is a very thought full app which is precisely what I want! Thought full content and more-so an engaging well thought out interaction that feels smart. No wasted moves, space or fluff, while addressing what I want to track beyond the norm. It’s tight - I dig it!

A really thoughtful and featured reader, and even better than what it replaced for me (the discontinued app Pocket).

I love this app I use it every day

They finally responded. It seems you need to write a bad review for the to pay attention which is a shame. New version is nice, and Matter is probably still the best app to organize your reading, but some key features have gone for no good reason (they confirmed it). A good example is the ability for bulk delete both in your inbox and archive. It seems they assumed people don’t mind accumulating documents, but for many it’s key to keep their archives organized. Hope it comes back. Origina

Frustrating that they removed the link to open articles In the system browser. It’s not even available from the Share menu. Also the AI stuff is annoying.

maybe it will save an article, but don't rely on it to do so
