September 16, 2024

Ever heard a podcast moment so good, you wanted to share it with the world? Now you can with our new Clip Sharing feature! Snip your favorite bits from any episode and share them with the world. The Now Playing widget now comes in a perfect medium size – Goldilocks would be proud. Your podcast stats are safe with us – we’ve added a check so they won’t randomly drop. Keep those listening streaks strong! We’ve fixed that sneaky Skip backwards mischief. Now it behaves like a proper Skip button should. Many thanks to Ruan, who contributed improvements to playback when switching between audio outputs, updates to keyboard shortcuts on iPad, and fixes to dismiss search in Discover. You can find our full source code on GitHub where we welcome contributions large and small!

We’ve fixed an issue with auto-play when the “Skip Last” setting is enabled, so your podcasts will keep rolling smoothly to the end without any weird hiccups. And for those who love to tap that skip button, we’ve solved the problem where rapidly tapping “skip back” was causing it to skip forward instead.

Reviews of Pocket Casts

Leave a Review Pocket Casts
  • Great for listening to podcasts exactly how you want

    Pocketcasts is always the app I recommend for podcasts because it is so full featured and customisable, so as to offer any user what they need. A standout for me is the syncing between apps and the web client.

    They recently changed the name of my “Lifetime Membership” to “Pocketcasts Champion”. So I imagine they’re laying the groundwork to make me start paying.

  • Longtime User. Best App I Use.

    I’ve been using this app for so many years. Hands down my favorite app on my phone. You owe it to yourself to give this app a try if you frequently listen to podcasts. It’s easy to use and the presentation of all its features is so well made. At the time of this review, my stats page on the app says that I have listened to 361 days and 16 hours of podcasting since downloading the app. And I don’t see myself stopping.

    I think it’s worth mentioning that I originally bought this app when it was a one time purchase. When they transitioned to a new subscription model, I was very nervous that the developers would require a subscription from people like me, but they honored that purchase and continue to do so. That is the type of company worth supporting. The web app is also incredibly great and easy to use, I use it when gaming on my PC and it syncs up flawlessly with my phone app. I love this app and will continue using it every day like I have been for many years.

  • There's no better podcast app...I've tried them all

    I'm one of those people that heavily researches before making a purchase - I'm driven by the fear of having buyers remorse. With that said, my research and testing let me to Pocket Casts. I've used it for years and it continues to be the best feature rich yet simple podcast player. Awesome.
