Idea Shower has released Pocket (formerly Read It Later) version 5.0.2, an updated build of the company’s offline reading tool for iOS platforms.

Pocket 5.0.2 comes with improved AirPlay support, which allows continuous playback when the device goes to sleep or when you close the app. It might drain your battery a little, but at least you won’t miss a thing.

Any issues you may be having with the Pocket bookmarklet are now fixed, while issues with sharing links to Facebook are also addressed. The update also includes “other minor fixes, improvements, and optimizations.”

You can download Pocket (Formerly Read It Later) 5.0.2 on any iDevice with iOS 6.0 installed. The app has undergone an iOS 7 makeover but doesn’t necessarily require the latest firmware version in order to run on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
