Read It Later is an amazing AppStore app which allows you to save and view web pages online as well as Offline. The app has two versions. One is the free version which has limited features but the pro version which costs $2.99, adds in features like a bookmarklet for saving links from Safari, sharing tool to post articles to external bookmarking sites as well as a full screen browsing mode that gives you more screen real estate than you get in Safari
You can also disable the iPhone’s accelerometer, which lets you read certain content sideways or upside down which can be useful for photos. The app also syncs with your account i.e. your desktop meaning that if you add any page at home, at work, or with the Firefox extension, you can read it on your iPhone or vice versa.
Features:
- Remembers your scroll position on every page, for every view
- Ability to download specific articles web or text views individually
- Downloads Offline content in the background so you can read in the meantime
- No limit on number of articles
- Save links to your list directly from the reader view
- PDF Support (Online only, Offline coming in next update along with .doc, .xls, and .ppt)
- Scroll to top of page by tapping the top of the status bar as in Mobile Safari
- Option to include offline data in iTunes backups
- Multiple font choices for text view
According to CNET the developer company has also released an API for developers to build Read It Later integration into their own apps. This means developers of RSS readers or even news publishers could give the readers who are also Read It Later users a way to save their content for later viewing.
