    I’ve wanted to be able to refresh the next up filter for a while. Suggestion: when doing so, allow the user to keep the currently active episode.
  • Subscription doesn’t provide any perk.

    I purchased the app subscription because I don’t like ads & really enjoy the layout & way the app works. I’m not sure what I’m paying for if it doesn’t provide ad free listening. Giving 3 stars since I will continue to use this app until I find an app that will provide what I’m looking for.

    Pocket Cast is sleek, easy to use, and by far the best podcast player out there. Compare this app to Spotify and Apple’s Podcast app and it’s laughable how those massive billion dollar companies cannot make an experience anywhere near as good as Pocket Cast.
  • Easy to Use with Tons of Features

    I have been using Pocket Casts for over ten years and it continues to perform amazingly well. It has features such as automatic download of podcast episodes as well as volume boost and speed adjustments either for everything or per-podcast. I love setting it up so that podcast episodes drop into my Up Next playlist to the top or bottom based on whatever I want.
  • Great Podcast App

    I’ve been looking for a podcast app since google podcasts got turned off. This is the best I have found after trying everything else. The UI is so easy to use and navigate. You can queue podcasts to the front or back of your “play next” list, and you have lots of options in downloading and how to organize your podcasts. I also just brought this app from my Samsung S21 to my iPhone 17 and it transitioned seamlessly. I’m done looking, this is the podcast app you want.
  • Deleting downloads even in the middle of Now Playing with v8.1

    Really really bad bug I’m redownloading episodes repeatedly today (Dec 8) Even during middle of play, while I have wi-fi to keep the stream going, the downloads for Up Next are constantly deleted.

    I think not showing the full title past 2 lines, & putting some white space between chunks of content was the right fix. I can parse individual items easier again.
  • Playlist are ridiculous I just want a feed of chronological episodes
