I am an avid reader of articles on my iPhone and for years I have used the pocket to help me discover and store fascinating content and consume it in my own time. I was destroyed by the news that Pocket is closing too well on October 8, but I have a search for alternatives and I think I’ve found some excellent apps.
Whether you are looking for a brilliant pocket replacement or are new to the Read-It-Later game, these iOS apps will serve your reading needs well. Here is our choice.
Safari -Reading List
We start with Safari’s reading list feature, which is Apple’s own Read-it-Later solution built right into its web browser. The obvious benefits here are that it is both free and does not require you to download any third -party apps. It’s just an extension of an app you may already use.
It’s easy to save an article. Just loop to the page in Safari, press Share Button, then select Add to the reading list. You can find your saved articles by pressing Show bookmarks button (it looks like an open book) and then pressReading list Losses (it looks like a pair of glasses). Now just select an article from the list and it will lead you to the web page. Safari’s reading list packages in offline reading, iCloud synchronization and a handful of integration with the shortcut app.

Safari’s reading list is fine as a brand-and-glem solution, but it is rather limited compared to dedicated reading-it-later apps. It mostly comes down to how basic it is: you do not get tags, highlighting, archiving or design adjustments. There is also no Apple Intelligence or article discovery, and its widgets are pretty smooth. But if all you need is a central place to save your saved articles, it’s a good choice.
Material
Of all the apps here, Matter probably comes closest to the pocket. That’s because it offers its own tab with curated articles from all over the net that you can then save on the app. If you are looking for something that finds articles for you – rather than putting all the onus on you who are looking for them yourself – it should be the top of your list.

It also boasts a host of smart features that lift your reading experience. It includes a confusion-driven artificial intelligence (AI) called co-reader that suggests and answers to questions you may have about the article. And if you love podcasts, you can export episodes to Mattery, which transcribes their text and allows you to read to the sound (this is well integrated with Airpods-Below Double button an ear phone trunk to automatically highlight a paragraph when spoken).
Material also has a very customizable design, highlights, tags, notes and favorites, a button to roll down to the place you last read and much more. It’s one of the best options if you want a pocket-like experience for your saved content.
Instapaps
Instapapers are a popular Read-it-Later app and it’s easy to see why. It is carefully tailored to the needs of bookworms and bibliofiles, and if you find yourself missing the pocket now that it is gone, Instapapers are a fine replacement.
Its built -in AI can summarize your articles and include key highlights and passages. We also appreciate how it automatically filters out “Read more” sections and other irrelevant items on a page so you can focus completely on the article itself.

Power users will also find themselves well served by instapapers. It comes with 14 shortcuts to help build powerful automations, while the app and its behavior are very customizable, with features such as swipe movements, haptic feedback, encouragement and more all able to be changed. Its speed -read tool, meanwhile, blows words on the screen one at a time, so you can quickly foam through each article.
Readwise Reader
While Readwise is an app for organizing highlighted passages in articles and books, the reader (from the same developer) is about to save articles. It is full of practical features, such as a daily digestion that helps you to obtain previous savings, a later list for articles you will return to another time, and a Wiserad section that surfaces the most highlighted articles and passages of the week.

Readwise Reader comes with her own AI called Ghostreader. Once you have highlighted some text, you can ask AI a question or make it summarize the copy, elaborate on it, create a quiz based on it or translate it into Spanish. There is also a “pickup where I left” AI tools that find part of text from before your current location and summarize it, which helps you remember where you left off. AI’s requests can even be adapted to your needs.
The app’s website can be adjusted to your liking just as the reader can. When we talk about, Readwise Reader has one of the most attractive reading panel design of all the apps we tried. There is no doubt that it is a brilliant composite app.
Goodlinks
Goodlinks are the app for power usage reading PAR EXCELLENCE. It comes with a large selection of shortcuts – 28 in total – which allows you to build powerful automations with its tool set. There are also a large number of widgets for your iOSstart page, and this is another area where it dwarves its rivals.
The care extends to the app itself, which looks lovely with its careful sprinkles of colorful touches. It feels like an app that Apple itself might have designed. Not surprisingly, you can adjust both its appearance and functionality to your liking.

Goodlinks are also one of the few apps here to use iCloud for cross-platform synchronization, and it works on iOS, iPados and MacOS, which helps you read well about which device to give. It’s also the only app that uses a payment model without a subscription payment $ 9.99 and it’s yours to keep forever.
RainDrop.io
If all you want is a simple, non-vinegar reading app that comes out of your way, Raindrop.io is a popular choice. It has everything you need to save, read and manage your favorite articles, including highlights, tags, notes, favorites, across device synchronization, coworking tools and a customizable interface, making it easy and comfortable to use.

Apart from the usual tags and filters, your articles can also be organized in collections, which is a great way to separate your saved content and find it easier in the future. We also like its backup tool that takes regular offline copies of your savings. It can also be connected to Dropbox and Google Drive for simple storage.
RainDrop.io is the most affordable subscription app here, with its Premium membership, which costs $ 2.99 a month. It gets you AI suggestions for tags and joints, full text search, permanent copies of your saved articles, daily backups and more.
