Feedly’s latest release, Pocket, is the best thing to come along with a smartphone in a long time. For one, it’s a very simple application. It’s very intuitive and it just works well. There are other options though that are more complex, more complicated, and more expensive (think: Apple CarPlay or Android Auto).
I actually like Pocket as a mobile app, but I think Feedly is the one I would prefer in this case. Pocket’s interface may look good, but if you’re not looking for a very complex app that you can’t customize and find yourself constantly trying to figure out how it works, Pocket is just not for you.
I think Pocket makes sense for people who are primarily mobile using their cell phones, and Feedly is more suited for the people who are primarily computer users and prefer to use other apps. I actually think it would make more sense to go with Feedly as a desktop app than to switch to another application on your cell phone (because you don’t want to have to go through all of your settings if you don’t have to).
I’m a big fan of the pocket app, I use it everyday, but I have to be very careful not to use it for everything that I need it for, like making a phone call. I also feel like I can get more out of the feedly app due to its ability to be used for email and text messages. It’s a little more limited compared to the pocket app, but it’s very worth it to me.
For me, the best choice is to move to a service that takes advantage of the mobile revolution. Feedly is my absolute favorite. I use it for all of my email and online chats (and my wife uses it on her cell phone too)! I would never consider switching to another app because of the interface. I just see it more as a personal preference (I like the fact that I can set up my email account and use it on my phone).
I am not sure I could recommend the pocket app to anyone. It really is the perfect mobile app for most of the things I use Pocket for. Unfortunately, the interface isn’t as good as Feedly, but I can’t complain because Pocket is free.
I agree that Pocket isnt the perfect app for all of those things I mentioned, but it’s also not a bad app for a lot of other things. It even supports the same features I mentioned on Feedly – so if you’re not using Pocket for everything, you’ll have to use Feedly for the things for which Pocket is good and Pocket is bad.
The main thing I find strange about Feedly is that their app is apparently the only one that has a feature that works with Pocket. My main complaint is that this is why I haven’t switched to Pocket yet. I’m sure they’ll fix this in the future and we’ll all be able to use Pocket everywhere, but it’ll be nice if we could use Pocket everywhere.
My only other complaint is that their new version of Pocket is a little too feature-rich. If you want to track your favorite recipes, youll have to make a huge list of the recipes you need and then just drag your list of recipes in the listbox. It would be much better if you could just type the recipe you want to track and have it automatically be added to the listbox.
As you can imagine, the biggest complaint I have about the new version of Pocket is that it’s too feature-rich.
