Now Live in Google Play: A Faster, More Responsive Pocket for Android

November 1st, 2012  •  By Mark

 

Today we’re excited to announce our latest update to Android. And this time, it’s about the most important feature of all—performance.

Just in time for the release of Google’s new Nexus series of phones and tablets, we’ve created a faster, more responsive Pocket app on Android—one that’s also optimized to work great on all the new devices. The update, Pocket 4.3, is available now in Google Play (and coming soon in Amazon’s Appstore) and includes faster booting, smoother scrolling, and better responsiveness that makes everything feel quicker and snappier.

Download Pocket for Android on Google Play. It’s free.

 

Pocket 4.3 for Android features:

• Performance improvements for a faster, more responsive experience.
• Optimization for the new Nexus series (Nexus 4, 7 and 10)
• Ability to edit tags directly from the Reader screen (via the menu)
• Ability to create multiple new tags at once
• Fixes for issues with Asus Transformer tablets
• Bug and crash fixes

If you have any questions or feedback, you can always reach us at Pocket Support. And we’d like to send a special thanks to all the beta testers who helped us get this release ready.

Thanks and enjoy!

Android Update: Install Pocket on an SD Card or Other External Storage

April 30th, 2012  •  By Mark

    Our last update to Android is just a few days old, but we’re working hard to keep improving Pocket. We’ve just pushed an update that allows Android users to install the Pocket app on external storage (e.g. SD cards).

    The latest version (4.0.4) is available now on Google Play and is currently pending review on Amazon’s app store.

    Note to HTC Flyer and Evo View users: We are aware of the issue with the blank Reader view, and we are still looking into it. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have it resolved soon.

    Thanks, as always, for your great feedback. Share your questions and suggestions at help.getpocket.com.
