Reviews

Introduction

Whether you are scrolling through your Facebook news feed or browsing Reddit for your favorite topics, it is inevitable that you will end up with dozens of links either in the form of tabs in your web browser or emails with individual links in them. Pocket lets you organize these links by letting you save them on your iPhone or iPad so that you may pull them up when you have some free time.

 

This free app has been named one of the best apps by the App Store and has over 10 million users who use it everyday to save articles, videos, recipes, and much more.

 

Let's find out what the fuss is all about!

Save And Retrieve From Anywhere

With Pocket: Save Articles and Videos to View Later, you will never use bookmarks again. This app lets you save all your content in one place, letting you retrieve it any time, from anywhere, whether you are commuting from work or curled up on the couch.

 

It doesn't matter if you've found something on your web browser or on another app, you can save your content no matter where you find it. Browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, as well as the dreaded Internet Explorer are available for utmost synchronicity.

 

Once you download this app to your tablet, computer, and iOS device, you can get access to all the content across your devices as this app will sync your Pocket contents onto the server, ensuring that you have access no matter what.

Upgrade Your User Experience

The layout of Pocket: Save Articles and Videos to View Later is sure to take your user experience up a notch. Each of your saved items are organized by this app into a visual treat, making web pages even better laid out than their original source.

 

Furthermore, this app saves the content of your links to the server as well, which means that once you have saved the link in online mode, you can retrieve it even without an Internet connection. In the settings menu, you can modify the app to ensure it only downloads content when you are connected to WiFi rather than 3G, ensuring that you save your precious and expensive data for things that really matter.

 

As you build on your link database within your Pocket, it will automatically start building on a highlight reel for you, bringing forth the best and most relevant content from your curated list into one place.

 

When you find something you want to share with your friends or family, you can send the link to their Pocket, or share via Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, or email.
