Ratings and reviews

Pocket used to be great on my e-ink device, but they needlessly removed page-flipping/pagination, a pointless move which ruined Pocket on e-ink devices (a large market of readers, the very people Pocket appeals to, all given the finger). There's a developer response here from a year ago, well nothing's changed. I clung to Version 7 as long as I could, now it doesn't work, Pocket show no interest in restoring it.

Every time I try to sync I get a BAD REQUEST Error. Every update seems to add to the problems. Previous review: I think the latest version that worked for me was 8.1.1.0. Now I can't download web view (now called original view) so I have to be online (which defeats the purpose of saving for later) and on top of that most of the time the article view is not available! And also if a site demands loging in to view the page, I need to be online and log-in every single time!

UPDATE 2: The article view problem seemed to resolve itself. But I still don't like this version. Used to be able to bulk delete saved articles. Can't do that anymore. UPDATE: As another wrote, it seems to be getting worse with each update. For some unknown reason article view isn't working. PREVIOUS REVIEW: After years of using, I made the mistake of updating this app, and now you have to sign up to use it. Uninstalled.
