"After using the webOS app on the TouchPad and my Pre3 for months, my initial reactions to Paper Mache running as an Android app were extremely positive. I loaded it up on my TouchPad running Android CyanogenMod 7 and despite a little sluggishness, it worked extremely well. It looked and felt exactly like the Paper Mache that I have come to know and love" Enyo goes Android: Paper Mache on ICS - Adam Marks, webOS Nation

"Eerder schreven we al over de Twitter-app Carbon die binnenkort naar Android toe komt, nu is er weer een app van hoogwaardige kwaliteit die de overstap heeft gemaakt: Paper Mache.

"HP had to kick off its Open webOS 1.0 and Enyo 2.0 announcement with some app examples, right?

"That was fast. It's like HP was working with developers on making this happen or something. The very first webOS app based on open source Enyo getting used on another platform has arrived, and it's our favorite Instapaper client Paper Mache. Developer Ryan Watkins has taken advantage of the now entirely open source nature of the Enyo application framework and used it to release his app into the Android Market."

"If you find yourself wanting to save news articles on the web for reading later offline, there are two apps you should know about: Paper Mache makes use of the Instapaper service ($1/month), and ReadOnTouch PRO, which uses the ReadItLater service (free). Both apps will let you check out those articles when you're not near an Internet connection." - webOS App Catalog, 10 January 2012 [Quiet Time]

"Great app. IMO Better than the official Instapaper app for the iPad." - Julio G

"Paper Mache is a third-pary Instapaper client for the TouchPad, and an excellent one at that. It has the gorgeous Enyo sliding panes that I love so much, as well as background syncing, adjustable text size, and offline reading. I’ve been a die-hard Instapaper user for years, and this app is perfect for me. If you’re an Instapaper user with a TouchPad who doesn’t have this app, I’d advise you to download it ASAP. It’s one of my most used apps on my TouchPad. I love it." App Bite: Paper Mache for the HP TouchPad - Mobile Unwrapped
