Get “Pocket” and “1mg”........ (Two Must Have Apps in your Mobile)

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)


in top right side in your chrome web browser bar (Address bar)

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.

“1mg”           -      A Must Have ‘Generic Drug Search’  App to save Medicine Bills
1mg (formerly Healthkart Plus) is India's First & Only Comprehensive Generic Drug Search Engine.
