Ratings and Reviews
All a pocket app should do!
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.
Excellent functionality, iPad layout could be better
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 app out there.
My original review was a complaint about the change on business mode for old users. The team listened to everyone’s complaints and fixed the subscription for old users, so I’m doing my part and changing the review.
It’s a great app that has been out for a quite good time, that keeps updating it’s functionalities. The basic stuff it’s already the state of the art on podcast apps, and now it’s free. Go download it now.
