What do you like best about Pocket?

Pocket was my first read-it-later app. I was excited to save an article from a browser and read it later in the Pocket app. The most important thing it did for me was to save my attention to what was most important; i.e., it kept me from following rabbit holes, something that's easy to do online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket?

Although I was grateful for Pocket, it felt unintuitive and wieldy. You could "like" something and make it your favorite. You could archive. All nice features. But at the time, it didn't link to the Readwise app, which seems important for knowledge managment. Furthermore, Instapaper allows a reader to take notes, which Pocket does not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pocket helped solve the problem of distraction by allowing me to save articles, websites, etc. for reading later when time is allotted for that. By saving articles for later, I could keep my attention on what was important for me to be doing then. Rabbit holes are the deadly rival of keeping your attention on what's most important.

What do you like best about Pocket?

As a Tech Content Writer I have to work on a lot of "How-to" guides for which I need inspiration from the articles that are already published on the web. Pocket makes it easy to save or bookmark these articles so I can visit those links later and continue working on my articles. In addition, the best part is I can access them on both mobile and laptop making it easy to work on the go. They also have excellent customer support and all your doubts will be solved fast real soon. Overall I love the product and I'll recommend it to anyone who's thinking about giving it a try to save their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket?

Nothing as such! The team is working hard to make the product as good as possible. Quite satisfied with it's usabilty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows me to keep my bookmarks organized all in one place making it easy to access them later when I want to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pocket?

I use the Pocket extension on my Firefox browser to save articles I find while researching B2B SaaS topics. The best thing about Pocket is its ability to assign tags right away when I'm saving the content (blog, social posts, YouTube videos). Hence, I don't have to visit the website to segregate the content saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pocket?

I think there was a free automated read-aloud option on Pocket which I'm finding missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pocket solving and how is that benefiting you?

It works as a great content repository for me. All of the content that I think I need to read gets saved in Pocket so that I can later come back to those at my convenient time and read, highlight, and take notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
