Question: Q: Where is the reading list?

I read the article www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/ to learn where the Reading List icon is. What does it look like? Is it in Safari or on the home screen. I have saved some pdf’s to it but can’t find it to read them. The article on Apple’s support site didn’t help.

In Safari tap the bookmark icon (looks like an open book) and you will see a pair of glasses. That is the Reading List.

Oct 11, 2013 10:15 AM

It took awhile but I found it but the articles weren’t there. When I click on the icon to the left of the address bar in safari on my iPad the top line has Message Mail Twitter Facebook and the next line has Bookmark Add to Reading List Add to Home Copy Print. These appear to be grayed out. With the article open I clicked on Add to Reading List, went to the Bookmarks>Eyeglasses but couldn’t find it.

BTW with the pdf file open I can click on the top left of the page and get I can get the options «Open and iBooks» and «Open in . » with a list of several apps to open it with the first being iBooks. How is this different?

Now in Safari on my iMac it is completely different. There is a «Share» icon to the left of the address bar with «Add to reading list» being the first option. But I can’t find the reading list on my iMac.

So any help is appreciated.

Are you saying the Reading List icon is missing from Safari Toolbar on your iMac?

SHIFT+COMMAD+L will bring up the reading list on your iMac

You can also, while in Safari, go to View > Customize Toolbar and drag the Reading List icon back into the toolbar.

So you found Reading List on your iPad but it is not populating?

How to enable, add and access Safari Reading List items to read offline

The Reading List feature in Safari is handy for saving web pages that you want to read later. You can save them in Safari on both iOS and Mac so that you can access them anywhere. What makes the Reading List feature even better is that you can read your items even when you have no internet connection.

In order to take advantage of this, you’ll need to enable the offline feature. This tutorial shows you how to do this and then add and access Safari Reading list items to read offline on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Enable the Safari offline reading feature

Enable offline reading on iPhone and iPad

1) Open your Settings app and select Safari.

2) Scroll down to Reading List and turn on the toggle for Automatically Save Offline.

Enable offline reading on Mac

1) Open Safari and click Safari > Preferences from the menu bar.

2) Choose the Advanced tab.

3) Next to Reading List, check the box for Save articles for offline reading automatically.

Add pages to your Safari Reading List

Add pages on iPhone and iPad

1) While in Safari on a page you want to save, tap the Share button from the bottom.

2) Choose Add to Reading List in the pop-up window.

Add pages on Mac

While in Safari on a page you want to save, click the Bookmarks > Add to Reading List from the menu bar. You’ll notice that you have an option to save all of your open tabs if you like with the Add These X Tabs to Reading List feature.

Access your Safari Reading List

Access your Safari Reading List on iPhone and iPad

1) Open Safari and tap the Bookmarks button on the bottom.

2) Tap the Reading List option from the top which looks like a pair of glasses.

Access your Safari Reading List on Mac

Open Safari and click the Show sidebar button in your toolbar and the Reading List option or click View > Show Reading List Sidebar from the menu bar.

Accessing your Reading List on iOS and Mac is done in the same way whether you are connected to the internet or not. The difference is, you don’t have to worry about having a connection to read the pages you save.

Wrapping it up

Is the Safari Reading List feature something that you find useful? If so, do you plan to enable it for offline reading? If you do and change your mind later, it’s easy to turn it off as well as delete the Reading List items you have saved.

Stacks Reading List 4+

Stephen Morris

iPhone Screenshots

Description

A simple reading list for the avid reader. Stacks is a delightfully easy way to keep track of the books you want to read and the books you have enjoyed.

• Browsing at the bookstore? Scan a book’s barcode to quickly add it to your list.

• When you’re ready to start reading, link to buy the book on iBooks, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

What’s New

• Support for Dark Mode
• Minor tweaks and bug fixes

Ratings and Reviews

Very useful; great functionality; clean interface.

What I like about this app is the seamless functionality and the straightforward interface. It has been such a great time favorable tool, saving so much of our time that would have otherwise been spent, tediously documenting annual reading lists for school age children, to present to a teacher/evaluator for their education. In so doing this app has helped reserve more time for reading!

In my opinion, it could only be better if there was an option for creating folders, as someone mentioned before me, with the same interface design that is already in place, so that we could catalogue the literature being read by more than one individual at a time. And also, if there was the capability to send the list to someone, so that it would accommodate our needs in an even more expedient manner.

To get around these two obstacles, we create a list for one child at a time, in sections of books they have read lately, scan the books in, or search for them — it is so quick — then take screenshots of the list to have it on hand, before deleting and generating a new list.

Amazing!

I have been looking for an app that could recognize books in languages other than english! Very useful and easy to use!

Simple & easy but.

It’s a great app with a simplistic design that fulfills it’s main purpose!!

However, there is some room for improvements:

— it would be great if there was a function to customize the order of your books rather than just (Date added, Author, Title)

— there’s no tracking system for how far into each book you’re reading but that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker for me

— it would be a huge help to be able to link the app with my apple account so that I can transfer the same books to different devices and make sure that I don’t suddenly lose everything

Also just as a tip for new users, finding books can be a bit finicky sometimes. So you may have to go by the authors name rather than the book title or even type out the book title letter by letter to see if it shows up.

Best of luck!!

Question: Q: iPad offline reading list not working

I have tried to use reding list on my ipad, but even though I have icloud set up for safari it does not seem to save the pages for offline reading.

Whenever I try to open an entry from my reding list offline i get a message saying it can’t load the page as I have no internet connection?

Am I missing something? Please help!!

Helpful answers

It seems everyone is twisting the poster’s question around and avoiding answering directly. He saved a page to reading list on his iPad and then can’t access that page when offline. I have the exact same issue.

he didn’t say anything about clicking on links within the saved page. he can;t access the page at all while offline.

It doesn’t «seem» to save the pages or it flat out doesn’t save the pages? Do you see the pages in the reading list bookmarks?

Aug 8, 2014 5:56 AM

I think Demo is pointing to your problem. Once you add something to your reading list you do not access it from the URL box. You access it from the open book icon just to the right of the URL in the upper right corner of your screen. Once there you select the eye glasses tab. Your reading list should now be visible. Tap the one you’re interested in. This is a little off topic but iCloud has no effect on this functionality.

Also check out the link at the bottom of this page under «More like this»: Re: Why is Safari not available for offline reading?

That discussion has screen shots of what I am referring to.

Also when you are offline (in Airplane Mode or whatever) and reading something from your Reading List if that content has a hyperlink and you tap it you will of course get a «no Internet connection» error msg as that referenced page wasn’t downloaded to your Reading List. It would be like a room of mirrors to download all content to all hyperlinks contained in a page.

AActually he kind of did by stating he got a «no Internet connection» error. How do you try to access an offline Reading List item? What IOS version are you on? It helps to provide some background info instead of just stating «it is not working».

Aug 17, 2014 8:30 PM

From what I can tell it doesn’t work offline at all (tested on iOS 7 on an iPhone).

Can anyone here click any item in the reading list without an internet connection and still view page content?

Most items have ‘not available for offline reading’ in my list descriptions too, these are the older items since I don’t use this feature 🙂

Instead I’d suggest Instapaper or any of the other ‘read later’ apps in the store.

As ever bugs go here…

Aug 17, 2014 8:45 PM

MMine has always worked on my iPad and worked fine 30 seconds ago. I use it quite a bit. IOS 7.1.2 ipad 2. This is an iPad forum and I haven’t tried it on an iPhone. To debug the problem I would ask the folks to download a simple short article into their reading list now. Then put their iPad into Airplane mode. Then try to access the article from their Reading List and see what happens. If this is successful may be the problem involves old articles downloaded before an IOS update? Before the latest backup to iCloud? Something else?

Aug 17, 2014 9:25 PM

Mine works just fine. With screenshots even.

Aug 17, 2014 9:35 PM

I can’t get it to work as you describe. The top item was made a minute before taking the screenshots & was cached in Safari and worked on wifi via the reading list.

This is with wifi on …

This is with Wifi off seconds later…

Weirdly the last item does load when offline.

PS. I do have ‘Use mobile data for reading list’ disabled in Safari’s prefs. If I enable that & enable mobile data items load & then disappear again when mobile data is disabled. I have 1.1GB of free space so I’s expect it to be able to cache pages, but it isn’t the behaviour I see.

Aug 18, 2014 2:07 PM

I’ve been checking settings, changed to private, tried airplane mode and I can’t find a solution for you, sorry. Hopefully someone else has insight into the problem they can share.

Aug 18, 2014 2:45 PM

Thanks for the replies.

I just want to clarify that I’m on an iPad mini with the latest version of iOS.

I’m using the reading list that is accessed by the book icon and then the glasses on the rightbhad side of safari.

The moment I have no internet connection, none of saved pages on the reading list load.

Aug 18, 2014 3:09 PM

Instapaper, Read it later, Pocket, Offline Reader… there are many choices in the store to work around this.

The other option is to backup, factory reset & see if it starts to work, then restore the backup & see if it continues. I never really cared for the feature enough to try to resolve it, Instapaper reformats articles in a better way IMO.

Aug 18, 2014 4:59 PM

Very interestingly I finally able to reproduce your symptoms with my iPad 2 wifi + 3G IOS 7.1.2 after never experiencing a problem before. Unfortunately I was flailing around with resets, iCloud settings etc. and can not reproduce it again. What did fix it was manually turning off my wifi, bluetooth and 3G individually (versus using Airplane Mode). When I initially set Airplane Mode on it was still hosed. This probably won’t be helpful to you other than indicating that some type of bug is lurking out there related to Reading List functionality. (Bluetooth is relevant here as you can tether your iPad to an iPhone with bluetooth or wifi.)

Aug 19, 2014 12:55 PM

Had the same problem on new iPhone 6, could not fix, then I downloaded iOS 8.0.2 update, problem solved.

so, try either updating your OS or reinstalling it

Oct 5, 2014 12:32 PM

Issue still remains on IPad Air2 with iOS 8.1.1
