Rated 5 out of 5
by Richard Duff, 7 years agoLike the other reviewers I miss the old Pocket extension so thanks for this which is much better than the integrated Pocket function within Firefox itself. However please change the default icon colour in the tool bar to red (or give users a choice).
Also the icon should always reflect the current Pocket status but does not do this when a page is added with the extension but then deleted direct from the Pocket website, as the icon should be greyed out but isn't.

posted 7 years agoHi Richard! Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback.
- Icon colour : it's been asked once or twice. To be honest, it's not a top priority for me. Still, I know some users want this and I do keep track of all these demands, so you can expect it some day. I believe it will be a user setting.
- As for the status issue, it's more complicated. I currently retrieve page status automatically when you've not open the InMyPocket popup for 15minutes, to make sure you don't keep too much delta if you use the pocket website or applications to archive pages. Still, I can't contact the Pocket API too often (for performance reasons and because there's a quota on the calls). I can retrieve the delta in the background in addition to doing this on popup opening, but I'll always have to keep a delay of several minutes between the updates. You can still click the "refresh/reload" icon in the popup to force reload, which should correctly update the icon state... though it's not an optimal solution.
Do not hesitate to contact me through http://bit.ly/inmypocketcontact or twitter if you want to talk more about this and thanks again for the helpful feedback.
