Pocket for Android gets Material Design update and Google Now integration
Pocket, previously entitled Read It Later, is currently pushing out a much-anticipated compatibility update for its official Android application via the Play Store. In terms of added functionality, this upgrade brings a completely revamped user interface that conforms with Lollipop’s Material Design guidelines, adds support for Google Now and transports a handful of bug fixes and speed optimizations.
What’s really eye-catching in this update, in our opinion, is the Google Now integration. Pocket is one of the first applications on the market to support this recently-announced service. So once updated, you’ll be able to say “Search for ___ on Pocket” to retrieve an article that you had previously saved to your ‘Read Later’ list.
Here’s a sneak peak at what you can expect from the Version 5.7 update:
The full changelog can be seen below:
- New simple, modern, and bold visual design
- Support for Android 5.0 (Lollipop)
- Bug fixes and improvements
To install the update, simply open up the Play Store on your device, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on Pocket. Next, hit the update button, and the application will instantly start to download and install the upgrade from the Google Play servers. Alternatively, you can scan the QR code below to initiate the procedure.
