Softonic review

Easy offline reading

Pocket (formerly known as Read It Later) is an offline reading app that lets you save a text version of a page to read it at another time.

The app is a great way to download long articles that you can read later. For commuters, Pocket is an excellent app to use when you are stuck in non-service areas.

Pocket offers two views, one that is text and image only and a second that is a saved version of the original website source. For longer articles, the text and image only view is a great way to not get distracted by tons of media.

Depending on what device is being used, Pocket will scale the content intelligently, so portrait and landscape views are supported.

On bigger screens the content is displayed better. Supporting a grid or list system, Pocket makes it easy to organize and browse your saved content.

The only problem with Pocket is that the initial setup is confusing. While Pocket can connect to different social networks and web browsers, it requires plug-ins or changing bookmark settings for each browser. If you use defaults for everything, then you should not have a problem, but it can get confusing.Pocket is a great free tool to save favorite articles without having to access them online.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
