  1. Another read it later app to consider is Zholink. This app is intended for news junkies who want to save thousands of links in hopes of reading them later, yet still be able to find them. There are a multitude of different lists. The Public Links are like news reader lists, while My Links are links that you’ve saved and sorted in different ways. Currently, it’s only available on Android though.
