Very good

It is great, feature-rich app, still some UX improvements are possible. Strange queue management: you can't delete topmost item from the list, you have to start playing some other episiode then you can remove it. Not so many extras for premium subscribers. Some transparency and privacy protection against publishers/advertisers tracking and profiling practices would be also good addition.

After the last update almost perfect

I have been waiting for a better Apple Watch app and the possibility to stream podcasts using LTE. Finally it arrived and works like a charm. 🤩 There is of course a place for improvements but for me now PocketCast is almost perfect and both iOS and WatchOS app work flawlessly. Good job and thanks. With pleasure I paid the 5$ for the Plus and extra features 😁
