Ratings and Reviews
Folders
App is good, but it still just simple podcast player. And I believe it missing critical feature: ways to organize podcast into folders, current filters implementation is cumbersome
Please fix folder sync issue
From time to time some of my podcasts just fall from the folder and I need to add to folders again. At least once a week. Very annoying :( Tried the “fix” on Reddit with syncing all devises 1 by 1, but nothing seems to work.
Developer Response ,
I can see how frustrating that would be! Could you please reach out to us so we can look into this further for you? https://support.pocketcasts.com/contact-us/
It would be great to have Ukrainian
There is a big amount of Ukrainians who use the app. So why wouldn’t integrate Ukrainian language in the app?
