Pocket 1.0.0-Save articles, videos, and photos for offline viewing

*Pocket* is a news reading application that saves videos, photos, and
articles for viewing offline. The popular article aggregator finally comes to
the Mac. If you use Pocket on iOS or Android, you'll definitely want to
download Pocket for Mac so you can read your saved content at home. The
beauty of Pocket is its simplicity. Browsing the web and see an article that
you don't have time to read at the moment? Save it to Pocket for reading
later. Pocket for Mac is a good recreation of the mobile apps but *takes
advantage of the screen real estate* of a laptop or desktop. Articles will
show up in a column on the left. Click on an article and it will expand on
the right side. You can either view the article as you would on the web, or
you can choose to read it in "*article view*" where ads, and other parts of
the webpage are stripped out, leaving only text and photos. Not everyone can
be connected to the internet at all times so it's great to see that Pocket
for Mac *automatically downloads all of your articles for offline viewing*.
This means you can have all of your articles like a newspaper, ready to read,
even if you're not connected to the internet. Pocket for Mac can decide
whether the article or web view is the best and will cache that for you. The
interface of Pocket is *minimalistic but still retains all the functions of
its mobile apps* such as sharing, adjusting text size, and tagging. There's a
search field at the bottom left so you can quickly search your articles and
tags. It's a shame that Pocket for Mac doesn't have a grid view like their
website does, which provides a more visual experience with large header
images. *Pocket for Mac is a must-have for those who already use Pocket in
the browser or mobile devices. *Download *Pocket 1.0.0* in Softonic
