Press & Reviews for Pocket

Pocket Named Apple’s iPad App of the Week

“[The new Pocket] is a much welcome upgrade, with a faster, cleaner, and much more capable app that is now free.”
-The Verge (April 17, 2012)

“Read it Later’s rebrand to Pocket is a success.”
-Appolicious (April 25, 2012)

“So which is the best? Pocket. The re-design brought with it much greater attention to detail and it really shows. Pocket provides the best design and user experience for the broadest base of users, both on the app and on the website.”
-iMore.com (April 18, 2012)

“Pocket has made its way onto my home screen because I am absolutely in love with this fresh new redesign… This is one of the biggest overhauls of an app I have seen, but the end result is well worth it.”
-AppAdvice (April 17, 2012)

“My favorite part about this app is how it helps set you up. I have NEVER seen an app walk you through setting up an app like this before.”
