Pocket
Pocket, previously known as Read It Later, is an application
for managing a reading list of articles, videos and images from the
internet.
When you find something on the web that you want to view later,
put it in Pocket. It automatically syncs to your phone,
tablet or computer so you can view it any time, even without
an internet connection.
The application has more than 3 million users (including
inactive
users) with more than 10,000 downloads each day. Pocket is also
available for the iPhone, iPad, and as a Web App.
Features:

easy-to-view layout

tap 'Add to Pocket' when sharing a page

web view)
- Easy to organise:

found quickly
