more I use a free read-later apps and pocket is the one I used the longest and because of its integration with Mozilla it’s one of the only ones I can use no matter what platform or operating system I’m using (of which there are MANY 😂). However, I’m not a fan actually reading what I’ve saved on the Pocket app or website. I found several other solutions in the past but Couch is by far until superior option to enjoy reading content on! The UI is very cohesive & aesthetically pleasing (although I can suffer from some stuttering and crashing on occasion, but I’m OK with that considering it’s a one time purchase rather than yet another subscription and it’s a side project for the 2 developers - additionally these are just minor nitpick not things that make it actively difficult to use the app). Overall I am very pleased with the money spent on this app and I have yet to actually to a lot of the features available. Kudos to the developers and I look forward seeing future progress. 👏🏻Just a couple of future requests I have are some more font options as well as just a few more customizations for the reader mode (possibly a grey or a darker sepia variant) to complement the dark theme. And I have only just started using the iCloud function for savings as a premium number, but I’m intrigued. Overall, like it’s absolutely super superior to reading content over the actual mobile pocket app and I think that it’s definitely packing a lot of quality considering the price. Keep up the great work!

This is really a nice app for reading articles saved to Pocket, much better than the Pocket app. It's easy to organize articles and to customize the view. Display of articles is customizable with font size etc. You can tell this app was made for IPad and isn't just a blown up version of an IPhone app. The price is reasonable (no dumb subscriptions) and well worth it. I look forward to seeing what the developer has in store for the app. It would be nice to be able to highlight text and maybe to share it but those are small things. I highly recommend this app!
Developer Response Thanks a lot for your review, Frankh1037!

It says it syncs with your existing Pocket account. It does not. I even paid the extra $2.99 to see if maybe the pro version would help. It did not. It loads maybe 50 or so older saves from my Pocket account but none of the recent ones. A waste of time and money.
Developer Response Hi Mojoman7, when you tried this, Pocket had just made changes to the API that caused syncing issues. Since then, I've released several updates to address these changes. Unfortunately, this can happen with an independent app. I hope you'll try again. Thanks.

Atrociously coded by an obviously unexperienced developer with little attention for detail. This should still be in Alpha stage. It’s slow, heavy and buggy as crazy. 'Home’ section is a nice idea with incredibly poor UX/UI. No developer with any self esteem would have released this in its current state… And yet, there is VERY SADLY no better option for a Mac client for Pocket. So we stick with this as our developer hopefully learns his trade a little better and can improve this app… or someone else makes a better coded client.
