Podcasts skip constantly.

Micsherkin on

This app used to be a favourite of mine. So much so I’m still using it in the hope they will finally get round to fixing a known issue where the audio will randomly skip back 20 seconds or so multiple time per podcast. It’s infuriating and I’m sick of it. Every update I hope it will be fixed but it’s just not happening. Ready to move to overcast or some other player.

Ads ads ads

seriesboy on

Why can’t I listen to content without being force fed advertising? I don’t like ads. They bother me tremendously. I pay for streaming services because I don’t like ads. I don’t watch commercial television or listen to commercial radio because I don’t like advertising. Why is nobody capable of producing a podcast app that blocks all advertising? Response to developers: I don’t care where the scummy ads come from. It makes your app unusable. And now? Deleted.

Love it

The best podcast app for speed listening

Still the best podcast app

Has never been better & will keep pushing for excellence :)

Best for features

Huckleberry555 on

I recently tried another podcast competitor. Came back to Pocket Casts. The up next feature is something I couldn’t quite live without. Pocket Casts is the perfect mix of functionality and usability.

Excellent functionality, iPad layout could be better

worhello on

This is one of those apps where you spend most of your time using it without looking at it. For this, the app is excellent! However, there are many apps out there, Overcast especially comes to mind, which have a far superior iPad layout, with multiple panes allowing better use of the larger screen. Will this stop me from recommending this app? No, definitely not! As someone who uses multiple OSes and platforms, Pocket Casts is easily the best app for cross platform syncing and support

Best Multiplatform Podcast App

Great UI, Great Management and Keeps Improving :)

Could be great

sin3adM on

Pocket Casts one downfall is unfortunately the most important - the audio. Podcasts can jump forward skipping sections, repeating parts or cutting off before the podcast ends. It’s a real shame Because it’s a better app than apple podcasts in so many ways, far easier to navigate and some great features but if you can’t get the fundamentals right what’s the point.

The best podcast app

Glen Farrelly on

This is a great podcasts app the layout simple and looks great and is very easy to use. I hope this app comes available on more platforms like Samsung tv apps

All a pocket app should do!

WilliamQuill on

I used to send suggestions in to Apple on how their podcast app could be improved. Then I downloaded Pocketcasts and found that practically all of these features were there! Queuing, sorting, starring, modified playback features, filters. A great layout of shows too, easy to discover, and also to note a single episode from a podcast to star for later listening. Adds the full feed by default, which is great if you want to go deep into a show’s archive.
