Schedules and time constraints have made it quite hard for us to do whatever we wish whenever we want to. Sometimes you may be on a long plane or train journey without internet connectivity and you wish you could be watching video clips or reading news articles. On the other hand, you may find useful content when it’s just about time to go to work. Pocket allows you to download content directly to your device and access it later at your leisure using the Pocket mobile app or the Pocket web app. Therefore, it allows you to read content and expand your knowledge even without wi-fi or other forms of internet connectivity.
How the Pocket app works across various platforms
You can pocket content via the web browser, email or other compatible applications. The application also enables you to save content from RSS, Facebook, Twitter and other article applications such as Reeder, Zite, Pulse, Flipboard, and Safari. There is a desktop application for Macs and a Safari plug-in that enables you to save content to Pocket from a desktop computer or laptop.
