The Android version of Pocket (formerly known as Read It Later) recently received a performance update, which means the Android app is now faster and more responsive.

The development team behind Pocket (the app that used to be called Read It Later) recently announced that the Android edition has been updated to version 4.3 and touted the fact that this is a performance update that makes the app faster and more responsive. The team also boasted about the fact that the app provides support for Google’s new Nexus series, the Nexus 4, 7, and 10 devices.

“Just in time for the release of Google’s new Nexus series of phones and tablets, we’ve created a faster, more responsive Pocket app on Android—one that’s also optimized to work great on all the new devices. The update, Pocket 4.3, is available now in Google Play (and coming soon in Amazon’s Appstore) and includes faster booting, smoother scrolling, and better responsiveness that makes everything feel quicker and snappier,” said the Pocket Team.
