    Search didn’t work, now it does
  • Literally my favorite (and most used) app—no question

    cannot stress this enough—my favorite and most used app is pocket casts. i’m ALWAYS listening to a podcast, i just need to have something playing at all times. idk if it’s an undiagnosed illness or just the need for a constant drip of information and content, but none of that changes the fact that this is far and away the best app for podcast listening. i’ve been using it for almost a decade now and what’s crazy is that it continues to get better. there were a few dark periods where funding seemed to be drying up and support in general was waning, but every since Automattic took over it’s been pretty incredible. i know i sound like a corporate shill for saying this but i’m serious about my podcast listening and there was a time where i was worried we were gonna lose the app. i’m not a fan of the subscription model, but i understand that it’s vital to keeping the app and its support going. that said, it doesn’t remotely change the fact that i would pay an excessive amount of money for a lifetime membership. give us an option Automattic. make it a crazy number even, who knows how many other crazies are out there like me who would pay it

    Used to be a great app. Most recent update broke the search function.
  • Recently playback issues make app hard to use

    Been a pocketcasts user for years. Recently, skipping ahead in episodes using the scrubber seems to make everything stop playing, forcing a restart of the app. Upon re-open it may be resolved or it may not. Would prefer not to have 10 minutes of fiddling with Pocketcasts before every run or dog walk. Its a shame because otherwise its a great app.
  • What’s up with the search feature?

    I’ve updated, deleted and downloaded again. The search/discover function is not working. No matter what I type in, it comes up with nothing, zero. I’m so bummed because I normally love this app. If the discover option doesn’t work, I’ll have to go back to my Apple podcast app.
  • Mostly works great

    I used it for years and liked it overall. However the search will not find what you’re looking for unless you type it exactly as it is. Leave out any words or mistype any letters and it will not find what you’re searching for. I ended up deleting the app just now because no matter what I search it claims there are no podcasts or episodes matching my search, making the app unusable for me. RIP
  • Thank you!

    This is a podcast lover's podcatcher! The "recently played" feature in the new update will be great for me as someone that is ALWAYS listening and sometimes has an urge to see exactly how much of my day this takes up.
  • Almost perfect

    Pocket Casts easily has the best Ui design of any podcast app. My only issue is I feel like the battery drain is a large drawback
  • The Absolute Best

    Only Pocketcasts effectively replaces all the functions on all the devices as well as STITCHER did in the past.
