8. Pocket - Keep Your Favourite Articles In One Place
How often do you find an article online that's really engaged you, but can't finish reading it for whatever reason, then tell yourself you'll return to it but never do? This occurrence is one of the big middle-class malaises of the information age, but Pocket offers a solution. With Pocket, whenever you're reading an article using a web browser, email, or any of the big social apps or news aggregators like Flipboard and Feedly, you can save the story with a simple tap, then read it back offline in your own time. There is no limit to how many articles you can save, and Pocket has a simple, unintrusive interface that doesn't distract you from the reason you're using it - that's reading, in case you didn't guess. Finally, you'll be able to put those tedious journeys on the subway where you stare at the ads above peoples' heads behind you, and immerse yourself in a self-curated collection of articles and videos that interest you.

I'm a writer-editor hybrid whose writings on video games, technology and movies can be found across the internet. I've even ventured into the realm of current affairs on occasion but, unable to face reality, have retreated into expatiating on things on screens instead.
