Ratings and Reviews
Fantastisk
Veldig fornøyd
Still needs a lot of work
A strong contender in the “read-it-later” niche but it still feels buggy and unstable. No way to organise feeds into folders or sections; inconsistent filtering modes across platforms, doesn’t feel like a native app on iOS, the Obsidian plugin does not sync notes, only highlights, no native Mac app, poor integration with podcast feeds, the themes are either too dark or too light (we could have a slightly lighter dark mode, like Omnivore), a hassle to follow Youtube channels, the text-to-speech functionality does not support other languages… Plus, Matter is quite expensive! Not ready to fully replace Pocket, Omnivore or Instapaper or Readwise Reader. But I do see a lot of potential in this app!
Developer Response ,
Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to try out Matter and and for the feedback. We are hoping to get to some of these requests such as updating the Obsidian plugin, providing a native Mac app, and supporting non-English TTS so we're glad to hear that these would enhance your Matter experience when the time comes.
If you have any other questions or feedback, please reach out to us directly at hello@getmatter.com and we'll be able to provide more help there!
Offline/downlod text-to-speech articles?
I greatly rely on text-to-speech, but right now I’ve noticed that the functionality requires internet, which drains available data. Would it be possible to implement a “Download article as speech” functionality?
