Pocket Full Of Notes

"When you find something on the web that you want to view later, put it in Pocket. It automatically syncs to your phone, tablet, or computer so you can view it any time, even without an internet connection." - App Store

Pocket may be confused by some of you with Read It Later.  That is because they are the same thing.  Read It Later was renamed Pocket in April 2012 when the app was revamped.  The updated added thumbnails of the saved content and the ability to favorite your best stuff.  But enough history.

Pocket is meant to help you store the webpage, article, video, or picture that you don't have time to read now.  Hence the old name, Read It Later.  Some apps, like Zite or Twitter, have built in Pocket saving functionality (for full list click here).  Transversely, Pocket boasts the ability to share with other services including but not limited to Evernote, Facebook, Reddit, and Tumblr.  You can tag your saved content to be filtered by tag later.  One of the best features of this app is that it makes all of your saved stuff available offline.  For those with WiFi only devices, this will come in handy.  Don't like reading long articles on your iDevice?  Save things that you find on your mobile device using Pocket and head over to getpocket.com on your computer and view what you just saved.  It's that easy.

This app is a must have for pretty much anyone and everyone.  If you ever use the web browser or any of the apps that work with Pocket, this app only enhances them.  Don't be stupid and click the link below.
