Currently the app supports only English language but it works absolutely perfectly. All you need is to click a screenshot, the rest of the things are handled by app itself in the background. Whenever you take screenshot of any article, the app saves it in easy to read mode. This mode doesn’t contain any ads and all the images are optimized on the basis of your device. The app lets you adjust font size of article for comfortable reading.
For each article, the app also provides you with the option called Switch to Web View but this option works only when you are connected to internet.
