Feature Ideas

Can we get an option to buy a lifetime subscription at a deal to pocket pro as early adopters? I see value in the upgrade but hate having subscription fees. Many other products I have used had the lifetime option and got all the features on their device and devices they upgraded to later. Let’s go for premium so we can refer even more to the service and device!!

Most of my meetings are virtual and I'm wearing a headset. This makes pocket way less useful for me as it's unable to record meetings that are not happening live or if it cannot hear the other people speak. A pocket app that can listen in on meetings or be able to import transcripts would be awesome

I pay a monthly fee for chatGPT access ... and it would be useful if this device could attach to it for reference purposes and then it would allow me to ask questions across my content stored in that account as well.

Right now, when you sync, there's a button you click to generate a summary and a pop-up happens asking you to choose a template. I feel like here it should also have you label the speakers, so that when it's summarizing it will summarize with names instead of "speaker 3". In order to change it from "speaker 3" to "john" you have to go into the transcript and tap on them. It would make a lot more sense to be able to access the speaker labeling functions quicker and easier.

It’s possible to bump the record button or even click to record and then change your mind and cancel before any content is recorded. The system still processes and saves this. It would be good to have a setting that automatically deletes this if no content was recorded or a recording is less than “0” seconds long. For future hardware, it might be good to have a toggle lock to avoided accidental button presses.

When Pocket is toggled to call, it will automatically record calls without pushing "Record" manually

It would save me many hours if I could swipe a conversation left to on the dashboard to delete accidental recordings, of which I have at least a handful every day.

auto device shut-off if no speech detected after X minutes (I leave mine on accidentally after a meeting is over lol) allow us to set the number of minutes it shuts off after... (let's say at least 5?)

One feature that would make this software even better would be an automatic recording or auto-answer mode. For example, when someone walks into your office, the recorder could automatically activate, or when you receive a phone call, it could switch to the phone microphone and begin recording automatically. I imagine a lot of people run into the same issue I do — there are plenty of times when an important conversation gets missed simply because I forgot to turn the recorder on, or I left it in phone mode and forgot to switch it back. Adding automation like this would make it feel like the perfect device. Honestly, that’s my biggest frustration with it right now — not the quality, but simply having to remember to manually turn it on or change modes at the right time.

We should be able to pause a dictation and resume it later, even if you can't do another recording in between. This would be useful for meetings that are briefly adjourned or for things like fitness tracking where you may wish to note each exercise in detail as you do it (or any similar punctuated data tracking)

How about a companion Watch app, with a watch complication that would allow you to start recording a meeting by tapping the complication on the watch, rather than taking out your phone and using the app. In some meetings with execs or clients, they don't want to see you using your smartphone. Using a watch would provide a more discreet way to start your recording.

Timeout for the LED status light after say 10 minutes of no use. It can draw unnecessary attention and can be a disturbance at night even though it isn't super bright.

It would be nice to see a full work flow space on the iPad app so I can easily sync between devices utilizing my recordings.

So far, I'm very satisfied. However, what I'm still missing is a pause function during recording. Especially when I’m recording my ideas, there are often long pauses while I think. In those moments, it would be helpful to be able to briefly pause the recording and then resume it, instead of having to start a new session every time. Otherwise, I end up with many separate recordings and summaries, even though they’re all part of the same topic. I think that would be a useful addition for future versions.

I like to use the device only as a transcription tool that is smart enough to summarize. I export everything to another AI I use for all my work. I know I can use the free tier since I don’t need much space, but I am smart enough to know if everyone did that, there would be no service anymore. Would it be possible to have a lower tier for exactly what I am doing so I wouldn’t be paying an extra 20 dollars a month for services I would never use? I like the device and the service by the way.
