Pocket gets ready for the Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean

Pocket, previously known as Read it Later, has recently upgraded their bookmarking app for Android for Nexus 7 and Jelly Bean optimization. Here's the full feature list for Pocket 4.1.3. 

  • White flash/flicker when opening an article in the Dark Theme
  • Tile View not adjusting to rotation properly on tablets
  • Text selection issues in Jelly Bean
  • Long pressing a list item in Jelly Bean opened the article instead of showing actions
  • A crash when cancelling sharing
  • PNG image files were not downloading for offline use
  • Tag button no longer has jagged edges on some devices
  • Other minor issues and crashes

Between the desktop browser plug-in, story submission by e-mail, and polished mobile app, I'm a huge fan of Pocket. Of course it invariably turns into a giant pile of interesting stuff that you can never get around to reading, but at least you'll never be wanting for something to read when on the move. If you haven't had a chance to try it out, get downloading at the link below.
