Awesome

The app is just awesome and replaced the podcast player I used for years now. Also lightning fast support! If you haven’t tried it yet, you missed something!

Not Pocket Casts

I found this app via an ad claiming to be free and having the same premium features as Pocket Casts.

It might be free now, but you can see at the bottom of this App Store page that they have IAP’s for monthly and annual membership fees.

I tried it anyway by exporting my podcasts subscriptions over. I played an episode that I hadn’t listened to yet and found that there wasn’t a Transcript feature which I rely on for saving quotes for later. It then tried to queue up every episode in the history of my podcasts subscriptions. I then uninstalled.

I’m not happy with Pocket Casts (e. g. CarPlay shouldn’t require me pressing play on my iPhone to start listening), but this isn’t the replacement that was advertised.

Hey Mattui! Those membership fees are optional. All the features remain free, but you can choose to support us. Not only did we fix the transcriptions for you, but we also made them easy to copy and paste large blocks of text. We just submitted it to the App Store for review, so expect it in tomorrow's build. We release a new build almost every day, so check back in a few days for that CarPlay update. It should be live by Monday, the latest.

Outstanding!

Have been waiting for something like this to come along! 10/10, have told all my fellow podcast junkies as well.

Upgrade to podcast listening

I’m really enjoying Parasocial. It was a super easy process to transfer my entire podcast library over from another platform and I appreciate the settings within each show that allows me to customize and enhance my listening experience.

Finally, a podcast player that has a good user experience

I’ve tried many different podcast players and they were clunky. This is the first and only one that refreshes the pods so I’m always getting the newest ones, and it makes it way more efficient of an experience when looking for my podcast and switching to different shows. Prob better for me when I’m driving since I’m not distracted trying to find my podcast on Spotify.
