![]() I used to be a longtime Instapaper user, but switched to Pocket about a year ago and never looked back. Pocket’s latest update arrives just as rival Instapaper refreshed its iOS app with better AirPlay support, back gestures, a new Send to Amazon Kindle function, support for Instapaper’s ‘Daily’ trending story service and more. Other changes in Pocket 5.1 include the ability to share to Evernote while offline – your shares will be queued and sent successfully the next time you’re online – and other bug fixes and improvements”. This will prevent Pocket from accessing your basic Google Account information, meaning you’ll be required to switch back to logging into the app with your email and password. You can always remove Google Account by accessing Settings in Pocket’s sidebar menu and choosing Unlink Google. Once you give Pocket permission to access your email address and basic information about your Google Account, you’ll be automatically taken back to the Pocket app. There, a dialogue will pop up prompting you to choose a desired Google Account. Signing up with Google yanks you out of Pocket and into the free Google+ app, provided you have it installed on your device.

This tremendously useful feature allows new users to start using the app without too much hassle. ![]() Now available free in the App Store, the new Pocket 5.1 lets you use your Google account to sign up and log in to Pocket. The new build adds a pair of useful features and squashes a few bugs (and likely introduces new ones). The popular read-later service Pocket (formerly Read It Later) has been bumped to version 5.1.
