Pocket updated its apps for Android and iOS to version 6.0, which now tailors to your interests. The release brings a new Recommendations tab that scans your activity in Pocket and, armed with that knowledge, presents you with new stories and other content you might find interesting.

Pocket is currently in the midst of pushing out a much-anticipated compatibility update for it’s official Android application via the Google Play Store. In terms of added functionality, this upgrade brings support for ‘Immersive Mode’, a new, refined layout equipped with revamped typography, in addition to a handful of bug fixes, speed optimizations and app translation for five new languages.

While Instapaper was busy shunning us Android peasants, Pocket was busy building an amazing “DVR for the web,” and embracing the Android community. A 4.5 star rating and millions of downloads later, Pocket continues to improve their app, while fixing the issues us poor peasants may encounter.

Pocket, formerly known as Read It Later, has enjoyed much success since its rebranding, and although its last update was a nice improvement, there were a few things missing. Five million users later and we’re finally seeing a Pocket worth putting our stuff in. The new and improved Pocket 4.1 hit iOS today, giving us Android users a peek at what to expect in the upcoming days.

If you liked Read It Later, you'll love Pocket. And so will your wallet.

Read It Later, the most popular way for users to save content they find on the web, has just received a new name, stacks of new features, and lost its price tag in a major update released today. Now called Pocket, the new app is free across Android and iOS devices, and delivers a new user interface, video and image filters, favorites, and much, much more.
