‘Pocket’ Gets Version 5.0 Update with New Features!
With a continuous flow of updates, Pocket has released a brand new version of their popular app that includes a lot of new additions like streamlined navigation, highlights and much more. Thankfully, the developers have made it easier now to save what you come across thanks to a better user experience and revamped navigation system. Pocket 5.0 also includes a new “Highlights” and “Pocket Preferences” feature which is aimed at bringing you better, more relevant content. If you haven’t downloaded Pocket, we highly recommend that you do, it’s available for free and is one of the best apps out there for iOS devices. Anyhow, you can see a quick summary of each new feature in the version 5.0 update below.
- Highlights: This new feature uses Pocket’s insights to surface the best and most relevant content that’s already saved in your list. Highlights are presented in different ways throughout the app and are built upon the familiar list of items that is at the core of the Pocket experience.
- Pocket Preferences: Not only is Pocket getting smarter, the developers are also launching Pocket Preferences, which uses their insights to make your favorite apps and sites for discovering content smarter as well. Pocket uses the topics, sites and authors you save most and lets you connect them to other apps using your Pocket account. Pocket Preferences automatically updates your interests in connected apps so the content they recommend is as dynamic as your tastes.
- Streamlined Navigation: The new side navigation makes it easier than ever to use Pocket. Jump to your List, Highlights, Tags, Favorites and Archive, and quickly filter your content no matter where you are in your list. There’s even an Inbox for everything that’s been shared to your Pocket.
- Enhanced User Experience: Simplified search makes it easier to find anything in your Pocket, whether it’s unread or in your archive. The visual tiles for videos are now bigger, making them stand out for a richer experience.
