📤 Export Features

It's critical to us that everyone can export their data out of Reader if desired. You can now export:

* A CSV file of all of your saved links
* An OPML file of all of your feeds
* All of your uploaded files
* Your highlights, on a doc level or all at once

Document-Level Notes 📝

Finally now, you can save document-level notes from ANYWHERE:

* The mobile app
* The iOS or Android share sheet
* Any of our browser extensions!

This feature is great for jotting down why you saved an article, right when you save it ⚡️

🎲Random sort

You can now randomly sort any list of documents in Reader.

This is great for when you're tired of seeing things in chronological order and want to spice things up a bit.

YouTube on Mobile 🎥

When we entered public beta in mid-December, YouTube transcript follow-along worked on only web.

We now have full YouTube support on mobile! This uses youtube's transcript to let you follow along, add highlights/notes, and more!

Experimental: PDF to Text 📜

We all feel the pain of PDFs, strictly formatted and basically unreadable on mobile:

We've now added (a very experimental) way to reflow the text of your uploaded PDFs, and read them like any other article :)

Dozens of bug fixes + improvements 🚀

Way more than we can list! Some highlights:

* Push notifications now work on all Android devices
* You can now save shortened links (eg t.co) nicely
* Improved a loot of parsing of paywalled articles
* RTL support

There are sooo many more of these fixes and improvements, which you can view in the full beta update :)

We know Reader still has a lot of UX issues, bugs, and especially performance issues! It's our priority this winter to fix them all up!

Finally, there's some amazing new content out there on Reader and how to use it:
