Top Rated Pocket Alternatives
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

I really don't have any downsides in regards to this platform. Maybe a slight trouble when trying to connect it to ceretain program/apps/platform. But even that isn't an issue big enough to deter me from utilizing it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
