  I admit I'm rather hoping they go back to something like the pre-Pinterest "Premium" model, or perhaps better yet, just charge everyone a modest amount across the board.

    +1 Instagram is (well it was) my everyday core app, something I can't really live without. I am paying like 30 USD/year for RSS reader and I would gladly pay same amount just to be sure the app is going to be alive in few years.

    Mostly text crawling and rendering. Sometimes the articles are turncated (say half of article is missing), saving from pastebin doesn't work at all (my favorite way to save long forum posts). Also text rendering is not really good: in Instapaper you get nicely fullscreen text, not really true for Pocket: they keep too much text formating (colors, sometimes also some layouts elements) and quite often I am getting articles that are cut the way that one line contains just one word (and sometimes just few letters out of word). Last thing is bloat, which is just minor issue: I don't care about trending posts, best offs and recomendation.
