Ugly grid layout

alienarcade on

This app is feature-packed, but the aesthetic changes in the latest update are really disappointing. Ugly even. Would be nice to have an option to revert to the previous design.

Been using this app for at least 5 years. No longer.

Coldbricksnz on

Recent updates and the push for an exorbitant price for an annual sub means these guys can go kick rocks. You want money for a dark theme? Jerks. Off to Spotify for me. Whoever thought the $40 annual sub price was realistic needs to give themselves an uppercut.

Why the antisocial bright style?

frabjousdei on

The new colours of this app are too feminine tbh; can’t have flowers all over body, it’s just not me. Gonna have to use your competition

Love the app! All except for the new icon

msl1ss4 on

My favourite podcasting app. My only beef is with your new app icon. It is not an improvement. Crisp and pretty before! Now an ugly melange of colours that looks muddy and unappealing. Bring back the old coral one. Perfection! 😊

Sleek and reliable

nikou 07 on

Use it everyday between my iPhone and my Mac and it works a treat. Best podcast app around for me.

Great app

Killermgr on

Love it but would be great if you were able to share to instagram stories etc and I’m sure it would help with getting more people to use pocketcast

The Best

daaarcie on

The best podcast app I have ever used. Love the layout and how easy it is. 10/10 recommend 🤗

Best podcast client ever!

johnny_yhy on

Please add shuffle playlist, cheers

Love it! Use it everyday

johnseran on

Very impressed with the huge selection of podcasts and that it is a free app which is awesome! I would highly recommend! You can star podcasts to revisit which I like because I use a sleep meditation every night.

Lengthy loading times

jaaayteeeeee on

Takes me 10+ minutes before it will start playing. After pressing the play button it takes obscene amounts of time for the podcast to begin loading. Do not recommend
