Getting started with Pocket for Android Beta

Introduction

This page is intended for Pocket users interested in assisting with testing early versions of Pocket for Android. Please note that the beta is not suitable for everyone; it may lack the same level of polish you've grown accustomed to in Pocket and could be unstable or include incomplete features. Additionally, you can expect to hear from us periodically with requests for feedback.

If you require a reliable Pocket experience, we recommend sticking with the official version available on Google Play.
