Can't imagine life without this app This app saves you lot of head striking efforts to save and sync webpages, important links with all your devices...It is single place to save all your webpages and access them even offline

Why 12% battery usage... Highest on the list under the system log when I haven't even activated an account or tried to save anything through the app. I found that it's constantly running in the background even if I force close it. I agree, this would be a great app but if I am not able to control it usage on my battery when not using it I have to find an alternative especially when I check battery stats and it's always #1 on the list above Android system, OS, screen and cell standby. Hope this gets fixed. Thx in advance.

Premium is great, but too expensive Great app. Free version lacks key features though, and premium is way over priced. I'm not going to pay more for bookmarks than I do for my internet connection!!!

Articles do not show up The app keeps saying the articles are not articles. This only happens with the app, not the Web version.

I have come to love this. Honestly, it went from not understanding this program to now I dearly love it. I'm going to teach my husband and 11 yr old grand baby to use it ASAP. Thank you for this service.

Very important app for daily busy schedules and activities. Thanks to the developers. I would suggest to add a notification system for the saved articles in order to remind you about checking them back

Hi Jim, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing battery drain from Pocket. We understand that this is frustrating and our developers are working on a solution.
We’ll update you here when we have more information to share.

Do I have to disable all connections in order for the offline mode to work? Let me explain. I often read technical articles that contain code samples, so I need to be able to switch to the web version. I have asked it to automatically download the web version, but what happens is this... I'm sitting on the bus enjoying my flaky, slow internet connection, so I open up pocket and try reading an article. No code blocks show up.. so I switch to the web version and it sits there with the fancy coloured bar lazily moving along, and in the end it gives up. WTF ? It has already downloaded it for crying out loud, and it's an article so it isn't going to change every five minutes, so when I am trying to read it, just give me the saved version. The moral of the story is this. PLEASE don't check for a new version of an article when I am trying to read it. PLEASE only check for a new version in the background when you are syncing stuff.
This app is not bad, but I'm disappointed that the developers haven't done anything in the last couple of years to improve the core functionality - the reading interface. If they added a decent pagination feature and a way to intelligently hide the toolbars when reading (in the way that the Kindle and Google Play Books apps do), then I would actually enjoy using it. Instead the developers seem to be focusing their efforts on adding distracting "social" features. The "recommendations" list is useless to me, but there seems to be no way to get rid of it from the interface. I'm tempted to go back to Instapaper...
Does the job well, but suggestions are annoying I love that I can easily save things for later. I used to keep a bunch of extra tabs open in Chrome -- this is a huge improvement. The organization isn't great. I'm really hoping to see material design or something that breaks the visual monotony (maybe like Feedly's card view). Loses another star for the inability to turn off suggested reads at the end of the article, which is distracting and unproductive, exactly the opposite of what I want.
pocket/ ive downloaded and If your new stick with it, its the most awesome app ive got! So easy and read it all offline.saves data. Once i worked it out, its just awesome!!. i just couldnt get it to work like it should at 1st my bad! edit3/5/16 ok now this is great. I figured it out and it's just awesome!! I don't have wifi so being able to read off line is great. takes seconds to get the files I want. I really use this alot Thanks devs. Love this
Love the recommend feature, but too data hungry I'm extremely torn on this app. On one hand it gives great recommendations on interesting topics. One the other hand it is extremely data hungry (10 - 20 MB per article at times) and it doesn't seem that the force to article view or identify as mobile user features work as intended or at all. I emailed support and the response was not particularly helpful. Good app, flawed execution in today's data capped world.
Sometimes..... Wakelocks. HARD. I just looked at my battery and out of nowhere lost 10%. Turns out, the application kept trying to sync and kept the phone awake for 2.5 hours and crushed my battery.

Thank you for your patience! Doesn't Work I've had Pockets on my various phones for years but never tried it. I finally tried to share a Washington Post article to it, and nothing happened when I tapped on the Pockets icon. I tried over and over. Every other app available for sharing the article worked fine. What a disappointment!
Awesome This thing is great, saves articles and everything way better than anything else I've tried. It's almost too good to be true.. great app I use on all my devices and PCs. I wouldn't change a thing. Best app I have and always recommend this to my family and friends. Thanks for this wonderful masterpiece.
It's been OK for a while, but today it has consumed 40% of my battery for no reason. Since I'm not using it for some time already, better uninstall than look for the cause...

Thank you for your patience! Last update REALLY messed something up Started noticing my phone was draining battery WAY FASTER than usual. Checked battery settings for usage and pocket was #1 by a long shot. Forced stop, rebooted, the next day, same thing. Had to uninstall it so my battery would last. Hope they get it fixed soon (will update rating when/if they do).
Please optimize your app Great app, but it has problems with overdraw. Developers, please optimize your layouts in order to make the app faster and consume less battery charge. Except this problem, the app is great.

Thank you for your patience! Neat and super useful! For people like me who like to do a fair bit of article reading on the web or on news related apps but find themselves stuck in poor network coverage areas every now and then, this may end up as one of their most frequently used apps. Clean and smooth interface too with great social media integration as well. Super impressive!
Switching phone from silent to sound I really do love this app, although sometimes it doesnt register an article to view when I add on mobile or via the app's web view. But that's not the problem recently. After downloading Android 6 on my LG G4 and updating the app, every time I add or read something and go back to the main page, my phone switches from vibrate to sound... and I never use sound. Am considering uninstalling since I just spend the last two hours using chrome to read anyhow.
I love this app I love that I save articles and give them whatever tags i want to. I love that I can have them read to me (in a variety of dialects) while I'm folding laundry or my eyes are hurting. And I love sharing to social media directly within the article, and then choosing to delete or favorite.
