You can now tag articles in the latest version of ReadItNow!

If you're a Pocket user, you've probably already heard of ReadItNow! It's a third party client we've featured a few times here in the CrackBerry blog. It's one of my first top 5 apps installed whenever I get a new device or carry out a clean install on my BlackBerry 10 smartphone. This latest update brings us to v7.0 and with it comes some new additions. As well as your usual bug squashing fixes.

If you have heard of Pocket before it's a service that allows you to save web articles for later reading or for just saving articles that you may wish to go back to often. I come across many articles a I want to read during the day but can't always get through them, so I save to them to Pocket, via ReadItNow! and I can go back and read them when I'm at home on the computer or via ReadItNow!. You will need a Pocket account in order to use ReadItNow! and it is free to sign up for an account.
