    apple podcasts was running very slow for me- slow to load, slow to start playing and slow to download. this app works much more smoothly and is blazing fast. works well on my phone and on carplay.
  • Not worth money

    The best is if you pause it while another application is open, the app closes. I love spending money on this.
  • Definitely worth a listen

    Extremely well written and well thought out. This is a great sci-fi story with elements of horror.

    I’ve been using Pocket Casts for gosh, a decade now? Anytime I fall to peer pressure and try one of the well known names in streaming apps I always find myself right back here! I appreciate the pride color option and will remain a loyal pocket cast user!

    Privacy concerns. No need to collect personal data. You can’t sell, lose, violate what you don’t collect. Not for me

    I have been using Pocket Casts for a LONG time at this point and on Android as well. Even though it has changed hands, the app has only gotten better. I have tried many other apps out of curiosity over the years and none are this good.
  • Useless anywhere but iOS

    Web player DOES NOT function correctly, despite going back and forth with support for months. Pocket Casts ONLY functions through the iOS app, which makes it completely useless when working.
  • Great podcast player

    Used to be the best podcast app, however i can no longer listen to Conan on this app. The episodes don’t play, they don’t download, it never works.
