Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Pocket - A wonderful app for capturing articles of interest

    By cb4ujudge (Pcmac user)

    For months now I’ve been using this app to capture articles and stories of interest, primarily from browsers, either on my phone, my tablet, or my PC. The user interface to capture articles could not be more simple. I often find I do not have the time to read an article immediately, so I save it to this app so I can leisurely read it later on. This also saves me time having to look up the article since I might not even remember where I saw it. The other benefit is that this app removes all the annoying advertisements and links that distract you while reading. I also like the fact that this app organizes all of your saved articles in one place allowing me to print an article or share with a friend later on. I’ve shared my love of this app with many other individuals - all who have thanked me very much for sharing such a timesaving and convenient tool for capturing information of interest.
  • Fix the email address problem; new issues

    By Notnalias (Pcmac user)

    I use this app regularly, but can’t believe they’ve still been unable to fix something that’s been now broken for years. Before, if you wanted to share an article w a small grp of folks, let’s call them regulars, you’d just highlight a box/circle, click send and they’d get it. This functionality was removed more than 3 years ago. Why? I don’t know. When I contacted you guys you said you were working on it. From the evidence, you weren’t and you aren’t. this app is by your omission, much less useful and I share far fewer links than I did. I don’t like retyping addresses of regulars, so I rarely do. If this is your intention, you’ve succeeded. It’s still pretty good for saving most articles/links of interest, but clearly some sites seem to be designed/built to not be viewed enjoyed by this app users later. That’s their and our loss. Beginning recently (Oct 2019) this app’s gotten significantly worse. Now I can even the above, irritating technique. Now I have to open an email app to share. Great, yet another extra step. How is it your new, “improved” (sarcasm mine) versions get worse. I’ll continue to use this app, but I won’t recommend it.
  • Pocket makes life worth living

    By John Johanna (Pcmac user)

    This incredible app helps me focus on great stories and spend my device-time in a more positive, constructive, productive and fulfilling ways. Scrolling through Apple News today left me feeling empty. So I hopped over to this app and read 3 stories that I had saved. One article I read, I’d saved from the this app content feed in the Firefox New Tab — THE reason to switch to Firefox is to get this app article recommendations BTW (and ALSO better privacy). On the bus today, rather than reading crap, or scrolling through attention-grabbing headlines on Apple and Google news, I read an article about the gut microbiome, the state of glaciers in Alaska, and an article for work. And I learned something. this app is my favorite first-screen app that keeps me from wasting time on Insta/other places...and helps me stay sane, get smarter, focus on the things I care about. 6-stars for this app. 😀
  • It’s nice, but could be so much better!

    By doggrowl (Pcmac user)

    I’ve used this app for years now and subscribe to Premium. Overall, the app does what it’s supposed to; making for an excellent way of storing nearly anything for later viewing. However, I don’t understand the logic of having to click multiple things to share or recommend articles, adding to one’s favorites, or adding to a custom folder. It’s tedious! Instapaper has a button one can click to add to one’s “Likes” (favorites) list, as well as sharing the item to a social network, all with a single tap! this app could really use such a customizable feature to speed up the process of not only reading but also sharing things with others. As well as sorting content as desired. Some of the buttons in the article list are not properly labeled for VoiceOver accessibility. The Search and other menu options are labeled with a random set of characters, and have not been fixed after I’ve made reports to support about that issue. Lastly, the app tends to crash when browsing the Recommended list of articles. It’s one of the best features offered by this app, but again, reports of crashes have gone unanswered. That’s why I give this the lower rating. If Instapaper didn’t have its own crashing issues, I’d simply use that. But I believe this app is superior, but has these minor annoyances which actually add up to using additional time to complete simple tasks (IMO). Again, it’s nice, but could be so much better!
