View allPocket was added to AlternativeTo by catfyn on Nov 10, 2009 and this page was last updated Jan 27, 2021. Pocket is sometimes referred to as Read It Later.
I tested the software in many websites and the result was bad. Let me start by saying that Pocket app will contain ads covering your browser, you are better off using normal browser bookmark than this junk. Now let me tell you what happen:
you need to sign-up, they will not let you use it without agreeing to their TOS. I believe they collect data and sell it to 3th parties but who knows, I haven't read the TOS.
Youtube videos are links, yep like a real bookmark it just saves the link.
webpages are links too, it was never designed to capture everything it seems. Plus you are better off using a screenshot than this horrible app.
no offline use, everything is in a link so don't expect offline use.
ads are awful, my "new tab" was covered with ads and leaving me with 4 browser bookmark pages. The google chrome extension and their page are fill with ads.
news articles are only text like Instapaper.
Does not save pictures, should have already known that by now.
Games are links, no you cant play flash games offline.
Instapaper is better than this.
Instapaper vs Pocket
Instapaper Pros:
Pocket Pros :
Both apps have IFTTT integration.
Instapaper is wayy ahead of Pocket in terms of features! And it's Free!
Simple and neat RIL has turn into pocket which is bloated, fancy and slow. I am going away to Instapaper, bye.
The amount of suggested websites/spam on your email account is enormous. Sometimes it reminds me of Twitter and Facebook as to the number of messages received.
