Dear
All,
Many
of us might already be using one or both of these apps. However, if you are new
to these, pl go through my post.
“Pocket”
- A Must Have ‘Read It Later’ App for your
PC/Tablet/Mobile
“Pocket” (Formerly “Read It Later” is
one of best Read It Later Apps (Other are Instapaper, Readability etc)
You can get ‘Pocket’ at https://getpocket.com/. Just sign up with your Gmail to use
this app in PC and download it from Apps Store/Play Store for using in Mobile.
You should also get Chrome Extension
from Chrome Web Store to make best use of it (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=en-US). After getting “Save to Pocket” Extension (Pocket Extension for Chrome), you will see Pocket
Symbol (as in attached image)
This app is useful when:
-You come across a good article/post
while surfing net on your Laptop but don’t have time to read
the article and you don’t want to save into word doc or give unnecessary
printouts (so you just click the Pocket Symbol and save the article link to
read it later on your Mobile during your free time) (Pl note:
while saving article, mobile should be connected with net but you can read the
article later offline)
-You are fond of reading on net and want all your favourite
reading links at one place
-You wish to read your favourite blogs/articles from your
mobile when in offline
-When you wish to have maximum reading material but at the
cost of minimum memory use (E-Books needs more memory in Phone, while Pocket just
save Links to read in offline
Right now on my mobile memory use by Google Play Books is
83 MB for just 2 E-Books while memory consumption by Pocket is only 62 MB for
110+ Articles/Posts. Another
-When you wish to make good use of your idle time (eg.
Waiting at Station/Airport, Saloon, Doctor Clinic, Any Queue etc) by reading
your saved articles/posts (One more reason to prefer Articles over E-books in
mobile is that you can complete one whole article in just 3-5 minutes which you
can get easily during your daily busy schedule or during idle time)
Price: Free
Other Features:
This app is very simple to use and
have all necessary features to make your ‘Read It later’ activity purposeful
and easy viz,
-You can Tag your most favourite
articles
-You can sort articles under various
tags for ex. Professional Articles/Personal Interest articles
-Can later delete not needed
Articles/Videos links etc
-Separate Display mode for night
reading (with all light switch off)
- You can also save Videos to view
them later (But Not in Offline)
So get ‘Pocket’ and I am sure that this will become most
used app (OK..after watsapp) on your mobile if you love reading.
