Fantastic! – Pocket: Save. Read. Grow. Review

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!”
