Login issues galore oh my

Got a new iPad - tried installing the app (several times now). Stuck in an endless loop of being asked to login, going through the verification process (successfully), only to be asked to login again and again and again endlessly. Was able to log in to the website and mobile app no problem. Fix?

Used to be great

I used this app for years. It always had some problems, but lately it’s become unusable: there’s no widget for chrome, articles sometimes don’t load, and if your connection is spotty you’ll find yourself jumping from place to place within the article. It also crashes frequently.

Doesn’t work anymore!

I used to read articles from this app every day, but now with no longer functions. If I try to save an article into a collection, it just vanishes. Get your act together pocket. In the meantime, I’m finding app PS stop acting surprised when other we do say the same thing. You know what is going on. I’ve spoken to your support people.

unable to login

not able to get the app on new device

Long time user - giving up since offline saves don’t work anymore

I’ve been using the app for years, but deleting it since offline saves don’t work any more.

Recent hang ups?

Pocket used to be my favorite app- I recommended it to EVERYONE. But lately it seems to freeze up after i’ve only gotten to open 2-3 of the links saved on there. Please fix this!! I really love this app!!

checked but too few articles

used guest account and only saw a small handful of articles and after looking about 3 minutes it kept prompting to signup for Premium

A fountain of bugs

This used to be the best of all the read it later apps. I don’t know what happened but it has been relentlessly buggy for a year or more. Every time I think they fixed one pesky one, another one shows up. At this point I would recommend a new engineering team (or get some help for the one sad person having to maintain this on their own).

Crashes on open

Useless. I can’t read a thing.

Not working right

I’ve been using Pocket for some years now. For whatever reason, it’s not working correctly. My saves are missing on my iPhone. I’m hoping there will be a fix on this soon.

The most frustrating app ever

I had almost 100 saved articles that I wanted to delete so I deleted them in the app and they were gone, however, the next time I launched the app they were back! Seriously frustrating since you can’t even select multiples to delete, and you have to do each one one by one. Seriously? Who designed this thing?

BUGGY

Buggy and rarely works. Trash.

this app used to be great. not anymore.

i used to love pocket a lot - it replaced instapaper for me and i would rave about it. recently, probably in the last 6 months, this app has gone downhill. it’s super buggy, slow, and honestly is no longer a joy to use. if i am reading an article and go to another window, when i go back to my pocket window, it shouldn’t take an extended period of time to re open the article, and it most certainly shouldn’t take me back to my list of saved articles and not save my spot in the article. so many of my saves don’t save the titles of articles anymore, they save a freaking URL. clicking on a save button in the recommended articles even within the app homepage sometimes takes 10-20 seconds, which doesn’t sound that crazy but it used to be instantaneous. PLEASE make this app better or at least as good as it used to be because i really don’t enjoy using it anymore. i want to still love this app but i’m starting to not.

Does not open so can save articles but not view them afterwards

I can save articles but the app doesn’t always open so I can’t view them. Many of my saved articles are recipes I want to make but I can’t. Restarting my iPhone 11 does not fix this issue. I’m running ios 17.7.2 because many of the “features” in ios 18 are not what I want and are memory hogs.

Almost a good app

This app steps on its own toes with the way it recommends articles to you and how you find them. Why bother with having topics if you don’t let the user explore them? After you pick your initial topics that’s it, you can’t see the other topics anymore. Like yea I don’t want to be constantly recommended political articles but sometimes I do want to read politics and I’d like to see the politics topic. The web app lets you do it, why not the mobile app? Also why can’t I adjust my topics? A persons interest change over time.

Fails at paywalls

Unlike other similar apps, Pocket does not support saving paywalled articles (for which I have a subscription). It does work well enough for publicly available articles, though.

Freezes and crashes

App frequently freezes and crashes, making it unusable, even when I try multiple times over hours or days. Edit: Years later, they finally fixed the freezing and crashing issues. Rating changed from 2 stars to 3 stars.

Slop instead of saves

iOS does not let you skip the “Recommended Stories” sections, forcing you to interact with the slop feed instead of the Saves feed that holds the stuff you put there. On other mobile operating systems you can ignore the slop.

Longtime user currently frustrated

I’ve been using Pocket for years and have counted it as one of my favorite apps. Recent updates have completely tanked the user experience. I’ve noticed that saved articles don’t load when offline, which was a key feature and essential for me when traveling (airplane, subway, etc). Please fix this ASAP.

Reddit and Instagram

Recently, reddit and Instagram posts don’t properly save on this app. They both appear greyed out in the app and don’t appear when using the Pocket website on a computer.

shortcut

The “add to pocket” shortcut is not working properly. “Bad request” always pops up

Frequently unavailable

App is inaccessible for days, & occasionally months. Neither the rare update, nor delete/reboot solves the issue. It returns eventually, though the current lapse is the longest so IDK if Pocket is gone for good.

👎🏻👎🏻

I wish this app worked well. Or even good enough. I'll save an article and when I go to open it, it's a white empty screen. Also I don't understand in the emails they send out, the recommended articles you still need to pay for them. Don't understand the logic.

Some features are missing

I use pocket mostly on my PC because the mobile app is missing some of the features I need to use it. I can’t access my collections (or at least, it isn’t immediately obvious how to access them). I can’t search for topics, I just have to hope that the recommended stories are close to my interests.

Used to be good

I’ve been using this app for YEARS and through each recent update it’s been getting worse and worse, near the point of unusable.

Yikes on Mac!

Cannot adjust the tiny font. The app, articles, and layout are obviously designed for iPhone/iPad and NOT a Mac laptop. Please fix.

Saves not showing title, only URL

I’ve been using Pocket for a long time but recently, new saves from IMDb are no longer displaying the page’s title inside the Pocket App. All my saves just look like URLs so besides the tags, I have no idea what they are until opening them. Since I have hundreds of saves, this makes it impossible to go through them. I love this app but this problem must have began with an update at some point as my old IMDb saves show titles. Please fix this!

Battery drain, overheating, crashing

All of a sudden, my brand new (iPhone 16 Pro) is overheating, losing battery precipitously, and the app is crashing. For a while, the app didn’t even have the highlight function. What gives? Considering moving to another link-keeping site after many years of patronage

Needs some obvious improvements

The tab/screen for viewing saved content needs options to view it in a more pleasing manner than the list view which is all that's now available. Something like cards or a magazine-style layout similar to the Home tab that shows suggested reading. The way it is now really makes your saved content seem like second-tier material and not as enjoyable to browse. And smart tag suggestions, based on the article content that matches previous tags, would be nice. All it does now is suggest recently used tags. Also, after entering a tag, the tag field doesn't clear, so you have to delete it manually before entering a second tag. This a constant annoyance because I tag everything. IIRC the android app doesn't have this problem. Otherwise, the actual reading view of the articles is pleasant and the sharesheet extension is handy (and necessary, obviously). This is my go-to article-saving app but the unattractive layout for viewing saved content still keeps me on the lookout for something better.

Premium constantly logs out

The app constantly logs out of my premium sub (apple account log in) and DELETES my highlights. PLEASE FIX THIS

Version 8 full of bugs, sometimes unusable

Version 8 deletes or loses items from my collection, and searching cannot find them. It crashes repeatably version after version, major bugs unfixed. Render fails repeatably (even) on simplified document objects. It collapsed my capitalized tags to lower case, and broke my tags database. What’s become of Mozilla? I’ve nearly stopped using Firefox because bugs and crashes there have also multiplied and i no longer trust the organization to build good software like they once did. Please revert Pocket to Version 6 or 7.

Unformed

Longtime Premium subscriber. Absolutely loved the app. However, over the years it had deteriorated. It hard to delete articles, search does not turn up relevant results, and it crashes very few minutes. Also, it used to save articles offline, even if it no longer existed, and now it seems to do a sort of refresh that forces the article to disappear if it’s no longer available.

Very difficult to use these days.

I use the web app often, but the mobile app frequently just shows a blank page. Reading of articles gets interrupted because the app kicks you back to the dashboard constantly.

Doesn't save articles anymore

This app used to do the one thing I needed it to do, which is let me read articles when I don't have data. But it recently stopped saving.

“Listen” no working.

I have updated the app and iOS, but I am no longer able to listen to articles. This is very frustrating 🙁

lsdjfalsdjfs;aldf

Really sad to see them just let this app slowly die like this. The web site isn't bad, but it doesn't support highlights on iPad Safari.

Avoid doing updates on apps

8.23.0 Update: Read version update notes for the past few updates focusing on Bugs so I decided to do an update to hopefully fix a bug where tag renaming wasn’t saving. Unfortunately the latest update has caused Pocket not to load at all. Yes I submitted a support ticket already. Previous: Ever since the redesign it has been the overall functionality of the app has become worse with updates being a roll of the dice between getting minor bugs fixed or new app breaking bugs getting introduced. Judging by the recent reviews, it appears the most recent two updates are the latter. I am at the point where I will no longer download updates for the app for the fear that it will be further broken and unfixed as the development focuses on new “features” that seem to be also broken and/or focused on monetization instead of stabilization of user experience. Even 4-5 months ago the ability to remove tags has stopped working with a suggestion from Support being to delete existing tags. Articles that I had archived since using the app over a decade ago and were accessible prior to the redesign are still inaccessible since the redesign. Pocket management please focus your next couple of development cycles on bug fixing instead of monetization. People aren’t going to want to spend money on something that is constantly getting broken and unfixed.

It’s getting worse and worse

I’ve used Pocket for at least 10 years and used to really like and rely on it. But in the last maybe year or so, it has made changes for the worse. You can no longer control the size of the type, certain parts of the type are inexplicably huge, and it no longer scrolls properly. In fact, it’ll bounce down from where you are to the end for no reason, and the scrolling no longer accurately measures how far you are in the article. I still use it for its “read it later” properties, but now I avoid it as much as possible. I don’t understand how an app to make conscious changes to make the user experience worse with every update. Just a bummer Update: still the same problems

Can’t read saved articles without WiFi anymore.

The only reason I downloaded this app was to be able to read articles offline. Now when I try and open a saved article offline I just get grey bars where there should be text. PS: stop telling people to go to Mozilla’s site to submit a form. Just fix your app.

Pocket has been ruined by Mozilla

Pocket has gotten noticeably worse over the last several months. Recently, neither my iPad or iPhone are able to load confirmed saves articles while offline (airplane mode); this, to me, has always been the standout feature. I have reached out to support and all I get is a “we’re working on a bug fix,” response with no estimate of when the functionality will return. I’m not hopeful it will actually get resolved. Coupled with other small glitches, I’m not sure this app is worth the trouble any more. Currently looking for alternatives.

Used to be quite useful, now, just allows you to paste a pocket dot co link

Within the last few months, since there was some kind of an update, I have no idea how to copy a link and share a link with someone using Pocket. The only thing I see is a pocket dot co link which only shares with someone if they also have the app.

Extension not available for ipad pro

After opening the app i tried to add the search bar extension but a pop up said it was not available for this device. I have OS18.1

App Keeps Freezing & Crashing

I am a Premium subscriber for many years. Initially Pocket works great but anytime iOS gets updated Pocket begins to freeze and crash. It’s not even functional. I have the most up to date Pocket but it always seems to do this. I am very frustrated with this app and feel ripped off. Looking to transfer my articles to other article saving apps that are stable with iOS updates.

Not good anymore

It used to save the articles locally, but I haven’t experienced that at all recently. I loved to open up articles on planes and read and that just has not worked. The app also doesn’t save your reading place anymore. For the 2 reasons I started using this, it no longer does. It’s just a reader at this point. Safari has been better about preserving my place.

I CAN'T Sign in!!!what is the wrong???

The login for APP doesn't work anymore how does this even pass your QA testing ?? When I enter my email address, I can't continue to log in to my account at all, haven't you noticed this problem?!!!

Good service

Nothing compares honestly

Used to be great

I’ve used Pocket for years and loved it. Now though it is hard to listen to. When I go to my Saves and try to listen to them, the tone of any of the voices is so monotone, without inflection, that it seems that they must have gone the way of AI instead of human sounding voices. For starters, the voices tread so quickly that I couldn’t understand it. I’ve slowed out down to the minimum speed of 0.8 but it is still awful. It’s good for reading, but until they give up on AI (which I’m betting they won’t), I won’t be using it recommending it for listening.

Pagination? Grid View? Hello?

Why are you guys getting rid of features? Especially on large format screens like iPads the removal of grid view is just baffling. And pagination? Seriously Readwise just added this, why did Pocket remove it? It’s not impossible to have, it was there before. As well the report feature for broken articles is gone. Articles from the same site often break and load the browser page instead of article reader. No idea why this happens, but now we’ll never since these issues cannot be reported easily. The app feels less refined than it did a year ago. If it didn’t have Kobo support I’d have switched long ago. However articles not showing in the reader view is pushing my limits. This really shouldn’t be an issue for a read it later app, and I don’t think it used to be the case.

Jank since the redesign

2023: Been using pocket for almost 10 years. It’s been terrible since the redesign. My complaint for today: why do the article counts not match on my phone and iPad? And countless other annoying backslides in user experience. 2024 update: articles still don’t sync properly between devices. Search is still garbage. And now listen mode doesn’t work. The once clean and beautiful interface is a cluttered mess now. I’m finally bailing on this app. Thanks for the memories!
