Pocket save-for-later app receives update; adds new Recommendations feature

Pocket has just introduced a new feature called Recommendations tab that offers users personalised and unique interesting articles one may have missed otherewise. The update is now rolling out to Android, iOS with the update for version 6.0. Users can find Recommendations alongside the List option and new stories are added throughout each day. The Pocket   blogpost  read, “It’s a noisy world out there. The channels we use to discover the stories we’re interested in — Twitter, Facebook, and a slew of news readers, etc. – are dictated by page views and favor real-time, meaning great content has a relatively short lifespan. As a result, what’s good is constantly pushed down by what’s simply new."    The team believes that Pocket has a unique, human understanding of what’s worth reading or watching on the Web. The company believes that with recommendations, users will be able to spend time with more high-quality content, no matter how noisy it gets. As of now, this new feature is only available in English. However, the company is working to expand to other languages. The blog adds, " Every day, you’re hand-selecting the very best content from across the Web, and with over 2 billion items saved to Pocket (with millions more being added every day), Pocket ends up becoming this enormous curation machine.”
