Because we don't always have time to read all the interesting articles found on the net, because we don't always have an internet connection, the Pocket app offers to save a web page on your Android mobile , a video or an article to read it again later..

The days are only 24 hours

The web is full of quality resources and content. Unfortunately, due to lack of time, we cannot read everything. In order not to lose anything, we generally place these articles in the favorites of our web browser in order to return to them later. But the more time passes, the more this list grows. You quickly find yourself having to manage hundreds and hundreds of links. It then becomes practically impossible to find an article in this accumulation of web addresses.

How Pocket Works

The free Pocket app makes it very easy to remedy this problem. So as soon as an article title stirs your curiosity but you don't have time to read it instead of placing it in your favorites, you will click on the Pocket icon. The application will then take care of extracting the content of the web page (text and photos) and saving it directly to the storage memory of your smartphone. image You can then view this article even without any internet connection directly in Pocket. The application offers an interface optimized for reading. For example, you can change the font size , adjust the brightness, change the screen orientation, or change the background color..
