No endless and meaningless scrolls like facebook.
Crashes Constantly
Relitaliano
I have been a pocket user since it’s beta inception. Being a pocket pro member, I have been in constant contact with pocket support for over 5 months with no redress of the problem. Numerous bug reports, screenshots, videos and the underwhelming response from pocket support is Sorry for the inconvenience are developers are working on it. Five months without rectification speaks for it’s self.
“Podcast” tts function crashes more often than a Windows 95 PC

Pocket used to be my absolute favorite app. I used it constantly for the text to speech function, which made reading much easier when commuting or engaged in mundane tasks. Then the app had a soft relaunch where the focus was placed on turning articles into quasi-podcasts. I couldn’t have been more pleased, until I found how poorly the changes were designed. Without exaggeration, Pocket crashes at least nine times out of ten when I try to use the text to speech function. This is an app that worked perfectly fine in text to speech mode before the developers decided to make tts a central feature! I would happily give Pocket a five star review and pay for premium of it actually worked. It would be a great pleasure to retract this review of the developers could fix whatever is wrong with Pocket so I don’t have to open it with reluctance thinking “maybe I’ll get lucky and it will work without crashing this time” (as it very occasionally does). I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it weren’t the case of an app that worked perfectly becoming virtually unusable - at least insofar as how I use it - due to ostensible improvements. Please fix this app.
Widget request: My List!

Pocket is amazing. The only thing is that the widget is only populated with Discover, and there is no option to pull from my list, which would be immensely more useful.
No longer usable

I used to love this app but now it shows articles in random order (rather than by most recently added) and doesnt save new articles. I had the same experience on my desktop chrome and on the iOS app.
Easy to use and very convenient to save the articles

I now could read the saved articles without WiFi connection. A convenient way to read whenever I wish.
Wish I could read and listen at the same time.

Wish I could read an article to follow along while listening at the same time sometimes. This app has been great otherwise. Definitely has helped optimized news reads for me and now I consume much more constructively. So much news is happening all the time now I had been having news article ADD and not a good way of going back to a story I didn’t finish. Then I tried this app and have been super happy and much more organized. Maybe an update where you can read and listen so you can see graphs and visuals if you are sitting and listening anyway. I have always struggled to read for long periods of time so the listening feature was kind of what I was looking for when I found this app. Still it works well and I use it often.

I can save, read later, organize by interest, share across phone, pad and my kindles (yeah, I have two).
Nice interface

It is easy to use but need two improvements (1) tablet and mobile version should allow to sort articles by stored date and (2) pocket should allow to create folders to store these articles. However , as a paid premium user , I am very pleased with pocket.
When you think it can't get better!

Simply, Pocket used to be my favorite app and the most useful one. I don't remember a single day that I didn't use it. I was extremely satisfied by it and recommended it to almost all my friends. I thought it was perfect the way it was but I was wrong! The new added features transferred it from being a personal experience to a social one which magnified the usefulness of it and made it much easier to share what you like with your friends. Thank you for a great experience and looking forward for your next innovative update.
