When using Instapaper on the iPod, the display works beautifully. I find it extremely easy to use. But when I'm on the iPad, it is generally easy enough to use but I have some strange issues with the controls to archive/delete, Actions, and other buttons related to the currently focused article. I think these controls should appear at the top and bottom of the entire article but when I try to navigate with "Explore by touch", I have a hard time tracking them down; sometimes, they seem to disappear on me. I'm not sure if it is an issue with this app or if VO does funny things on the iPad. I would welcome other comments to see what exactly might be going on here. Otherwise, it is an app that I use multiple times every day. I love it.

Hello everyone,
I have Insta Paper on my iPhone 6, and I would like to use it. But I can't figure out how to save articles to Insta Paper to read later. I would like to save articles in both the face book and twitter apps. Any help with this will be very much appreciated!
