Pocket: Save. Read. Grow. Reviews

This is a must have.....

.....For someone with vision problems. I listen to all my news. I am also retired. I enjoy your free app but would pay for a one time version if you had one. I do not do monthly because of my budget. P,ease consider this. Please keep up the good work.

Convenient

It handy having articles saved & access to content on one’s phone anywhere..

Actually, no star

I’ve been using this app for a few years. I just went in to read my articles and they’re gone. I don’t want, let alone need, another newsfeed or a place to share with as anyone. I LOVED the original!

Not Bad

Quite useful tool

Share extension broken by latest release

Joe Blubaugh

The most useful feature of pocket on iOS is the share extension. As of December 17, the share extension isn’t available in any settings menu. Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t fix this. I can only guess that this is an unintentional bug in literally the most critical part of the app. Pretty bad.

Fantastic!

I’ve been using Pocket for about a month. What are nominally seen as “simple” apps are actually those apps that have been elegantly conceptualized and designed, and then meticulously executed. Pocket is about as good as can be imagined. It is so dirt simple to use, it doesn’t even detract from my train of thought when saving a news story. I click the Share button and then the Pocket icon. Within a second or two I get a message saying it’s done! I still find it hard to believe. Regarding support: For the past few days I experienced an intermittent problem. I’d click on the Share button and the Pocket icon was missing. Sometimes. ?! Then it would appear again. I thought this might be a restriction applied by the original content author, but that wasn’t consistent either. So, ... gritting my teeth, I did a quick search. I fully expected to find a Support Page or Knowledge Base, followed by a more or less vague search. Imagine my surprise when the page opened up to a banner saying, “We have recently learned that some users have experienced ... [insert my *exact problem*] on iOS . Please reboot your device ... “ I didn’t even read any further. Shut down... Reboot... Open browser, click Share button... Voila! Pocket! Elapsed time? Two minutes? Max! Never, and I mean *NEVER*, over decades, have I ever experienced a support experience like this. The only possible downside I can imagine is that someone opening the page for some other reason might waste ten seconds reading an irrelevant banner. I’ve ironically used all these words to get to the best summary... “I’m speechless! Bravo!”

The reading voice is terrible!

They have a nice male voice that reads the title of the article but then somehow it switches to a robo woman, why not just use the same voice for the whole article, I wasn’t able to find the male voice that reads the titles in offline voices as well!

Does the update break pip?

Love this app. As of 12/24/20, with this new update. I wanted to know if this breaks Picture In Picture for YouTube?? I just installed this app on iPad which is the newest version and noticed I couldn't do Picture in Picture. So I just wanted to make sure this update did not break it

You Broke It!

I love this app, but the latest update has removed the Save to Pocket feature in both Safari and Chrome, thus rendering the app useless and earning my three stars. Please fix it ASAP!

Latest update breaks sharing

App no longe appears in sharing menu, rendering it useless (again)
