Download Pocket - A Read It Later Service


The web is a huge cloud of information. We come across so many articles to read, videos to watch and images to view.  For the ones who browse the web avidly in search of information, it becomes really hard to manage all this content. Today I am going to tell you about a service named Pocket, formerly Read it Later.

Suppose you're browsing the web and you come across a very good article or video but don't have time to view it. You can easily add that article/video/anything_else to Pocket! Pocket is the best way to save articles, videos and more so that you can read 'em later whenever you want, wherever you want. When you find something you want to view later, put it in Pocket. ;) It is available for all the major smartphones OSes, computer OSes, browsers and kindle as well.

"A great option for those interested in saving video, images, text and other content, all in one place."

As a final thought, I'd like to say why I personally use Pocket:
  1. Pocket has seamless syncing capabilities.
  2. I actually prefer reading an article on Pocket instead of the website as it removes all the clutter. Plus, with Pocket, I can read articles in my favorite font. :)
