Póca review
A focused Apple reading app with offline access, search, and no subscription.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Póca is a read-it-later app for saving web articles, newsletters, and RSS content, aimed at readers who want a focused library across Apple devices. Articles can be saved from Safari or any app through the share sheet, then read in Essay, Brief, or Night modes. Offline reading, full-text search, starring, archiving, widgets, and Siri Shortcuts support a straightforward reading workflow. Dyslexia-friendly fonts are also included, and Pocket library import helps with migration.
The pricing is simple: the Póca plan costs €9.99 as a one-time purchase and includes unlimited articles, the three reading modes, a newsletter inbox, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. There is no subscription. That structure suits readers who prefer a single purchase over recurring software costs, while the lack of a free tier means the paid app is the starting point. The official pricing details also indicate that pricing varies by region.
Póca’s strongest fit is its Apple ecosystem focus. iCloud sync keeps reading lists aligned across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, while Feedbin adds RSS reading, the newsletter inbox accepts delivery through a unique Póca address, and Siri Shortcuts, widgets, and Pocket import extend the workflow. The trade-off is a narrower toolset and platform reach: highlighting and exports are not verified, browser extensions are not included in the listed feature set, and the apps are limited to Apple platforms. Choose Póca for quiet, offline reading with a one-time price; choose an alternative if annotations, exports, browser coverage, or non-Apple access are central requirements.
