Thanks for asking.
- Automatically filter incoming content by multiple media types, particularly audio. Pocket has "articles" and "videos" but I get a lot of random stuff in "videos." If my link is coming from soundcloud.com, podcastnotes.org, listennotes.com etc., there's a 99% chance it's audio.
- More filtering options without requiring search, particularly by my most-saved content sources.
- This is personal preference, but NO (or at least the ability to disable) "discover" feed of suggested articles. I consider Pocket a productivity tool, allowing me to access my own idea of high quality, relevant content whenever I have a few minutes of downtime. I've already removed all the mainstream news/social network/scrolly-feed apps from my phone to resist the temptation to scroll mindlessly through whatever's new. Pocket's prominently featured feed of popular but lowest common denominator articles presents a problematic distraction. I understand that Pocket injects ads and paid or partner content in this feed, but I'd rather pay to have this feature removed than to remove the ads.
- No social networking aspect or associated user profiles. Don't care. Actually this just makes me wary that one day Pocket will decide it wants to be a social network and suddenly all my presumed-privately saved articles become "social" meaning visible to everyone on my profile, requiring manual privacy resetting to hide them, a la Facebook.
- The option to see which articles were the most-saved by other users in a given subject area could be interesting. This could have feature overlap with Nuzzel (app that shows you the articles that were shared by Twitter users you follow).
- Seconding another suggestion for the option to read the article aloud, presuming it's high quality humanish narration.
