Pocket Casts Reviews

Super expensive

E99eee99ee on

New Zealand

I bought the app years ago for $5 and now they want to charge me $70 a year! Just to keep the same features I already paid for.

Reliable & Cross Platform

nikou 07 on

New Zealand

I tried many podcasts players, but this is the one that stuck. It looks good, plays and syncs reliably, gets updated frequently and works both on the Mac and iOS, while syncing play states. Great app.

Ugly grid layout

alienarcade on

New Zealand

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.

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?

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

New Zealand

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! 😊

Great app

Killermgr on

New Zealand

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

New Zealand

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

Best podcast client ever!

Please add shuffle playlist, cheers

Love it! Use it everyday

johnseran on

New Zealand

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.
