Reading Stats in Your Pocket for Android
Thank you so much. I love Pocket but have become overwhelmed with my reading material. This app rocks!
Only just downloaded after days of waffling on official pocket app - already a little disappointed. Anticipated narrowing down tags, better bulk edit and most of all - all items synced. (it likes to think all old tags are completely empty). So there was delight when first loadup showed not only a number count but very smartly, incremental sync by part (500). Watched the number climb happily for a bit then switched to other app. Not happy to come back to see it start all over again (ie. Not background syncing), less to discover it stops when screen times out (at least that one was discovered early). So plugged it in, turned on no screen off in dev options and went afk for 30m. And it's still going. Gonna leave it for an overnight (some night) then. But do add an update to either sync ins background, load first increment into app for perusal at least, or both. Maybe next login wont be another 38k items (not counting all the restarted numbers) but this dampens the entire migration parade. In all, still anticipating final use though. See you in the reviews then. Not likely to be anytime yet though.
Hi, in recent updates there is a option to change to number of items instead of the number of words, but that seems to be broken, it is always showing number of words, which is useless if I like to add videos to my list. EDIT: Hi, thanks for your response, good to see that you are reading our reviews :) I saw the option to change to items count and it works, but after I close the app it go's back to number of words.
I was looking for some more basic stats (how many unread articles I have - starred and unstarred).
Very useful; just what I wanted. I'm looking forward to the feature where one can click on a box and look for more analytics. I have a suggestion, in the time range options, it might be nice to have an option that says "from foo" where foo could be start of the year, or even a custom starting point. In fact, a gret way to implement this would be if one could click on the graph of articles added/read and adjust the starting and ending dates for the window of consideration with horizontal sliders (kinda like the Android option to set a cap on wireless data usage). Cheers!
I'll give 5 stars as this is something I have wanted for a long time, and hopefully it get some traction and you continue to develop it further. Keep it up!

Didn't work for me. Read 2 articles today, refreshed the app, it says I've read 0 in the past week (when I typically read 1+ a day).
