Pocket Casts: Podcast Player

Titels zijn niet te lezen in Carplay. Jammer voor de jaarlijkse kosten voor de watch versie.

One of my regular English podcasts suddenly had a Dutch ad at the beginning.
There was no indication that an ad was being inserted. I even tried to listen to the same episode in another podcasting app an the ad wasn’t there
Despite the faq explicitly saying pocket casts doesn’t insert ads, an ad was played before my episode.
Truly sneaky, maybe even illegal to “modify” content from creators like this without any indication

An open-source alternative to Apple's Podcasts, and Google Podcasts with a clean interface, smooth navigation, and a lovely pride icon.
The negative reviews on the App Store consist almost entirely of bigots upset by the LGBTQ+ community, as Apple does not care about moderating the App Store.
If you want something that just works, try Pocket Casts!

I’ve been using this app for years and I really enjoy it. And the temporary pride logo was a nice touch! Thanks!

Net geïnstalleerd omdat mijn geliefde app Stitcher binnenkort gaat stoppen.
Boven aan het beginscherm staat een banner met aanbevelingen e.d., die om de paar seconden verspringt. Voor mij is dit echt een dealbreaker. Ik zit niet te wachten op een app die mijn aandacht opeist voor allerlei dingen waar ik geen behoefte aan heb. Graag een AD(H)D- vriendelijkere versie. Zolang die er niet is, ga ik deze absoluut niet gebruiken.

Normally a great app and my favorite podcast player. For a few weeks audio seems to jump around occasionally, with parts of the podcast being repeated. It’s very annoying and still wasn’t fixed with the latest update

I love the app. It looks good. It works well.
What does bother me is the bugs during playback. Audio often glitches and makes a harsh sound and also every podcast episode the audio will suddenly during playback go back half a minute.
To other reviewers: if you’re so upset about some colours in an icon of the app you use, just use another app. This business can choose to do whatever they like to do. They don’t owe you anything. Whine about this stuff somewhere else.

1 star for forcing the pride icon on your users
It's not your place as a company

why change an icon? I want an app, not identity politics and flags. please concentrate on your app

Such an amazing app that let’s you speeds up the podcast, amplify the voice and cut silences. Perfect for the ones who listen to as many podcasts as they can!

Long time user of this excellent podcast app, with the best combo of UI versus advanced podcast functionality. Always a joy to (re)read the release notes ;-)

Once a week the screen freezes and nothing works anymore. Yeah, I’m that freeloading guy that complains, but this moves me away from the app entirely. Hope it can be fixed!

Got this recommended by a friend. When I try to search for a podcast it says that im not connected to the internet when Im clearly am! (I even tried it on my 4 and 5G to no avail). I even tried to re-install the app, didnt help. Is this a bug? The app is pretty much unusable at this point! Complete worthless!

Amazing app, love it. But since last update the app freezes when a podcast is selected. Very annoying

I’m in love with this podcast app. If you are a podcast hoarder, this is the one! Besides the filters (that I use excessively) the new folder functionality on the homepage is exactly what I was waiting for. It’s a paid feature, but it’s worth it.

Was excited to see this app part of the integration in my car. Choosing podcasts on my iPhone, and seeing them sync to the car playlist is excellent, however when playing, audio regularly skips backwards, 10-20 seconds, incredibly frustrating and makes it unusable.

Like most podcast apps, this app also has bad sync. I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for app-makers to have a good functioning sync functionality. Apple Podcasts is the worst. This app has a weird system for marking read/unread and archiving. Doesn’t make sense at all. The desktop applications are just web rip-offs. It’s hard to find an application with good and stable sync options, that is also cross platform (app/web is fair enough), that isn’t too much pricy (this app has a good price of it worked better) and with a stable player. I used Downcast before, that app is great and makes use of iCloud for sync but the biggest problem is that you can’t use it on Windows. I hope this app comes with a great update on sync and user interface. Make it more clean with not so big icons and spaces between lines. Compact, clean interface, stable sync, fairly priced, multi platform (it’s more important to have a stable web player, than unstable desktop players!) and other functionality that actually makes sense. If you need advise, contact me.

Six, seven years ago this was a great app, but it has stagnated and is now buggy and outdated. Illogical interface and random issues with playing audio. There’s gotta be something better!
