3 statements about Pocket, every show
Donohue: Read-later apps became a limited niche without massive growth
“Both Pocket and Instapaper wound up landing at larger companies back in 2016, and Readability wound up shutting down, because actually I think the market appeal for that product is fairly limited, and it's not one that's, like, massively growing over time.”
Donohue: Instapaper downloads tanked after Pocket launched for free in 2012
“In relaunching Pocket in 2012, I think, you know, I've looked at the downloads for Instapaper, and they just start tanking after April 2012.”
