Pocket Casts: Podcast Player

Voorheen nooit problemen gehad met deze app maar sinds kort stopt het afspelen van podcasts plotseling op 3/4 van de aflevering die ik aan het luisteren waardoor ik over moet stappen op een andere app om de podcast af te kunnen luisteren. Super irritant dus ga op zoek naar een andere app

Can sort, manage playlists in bulk, adjust sound quality in detail, easy UI. Fantastic stuff no notes 5 stars.

The playhead and cropping don’t work anymore (impossible to select the correct section)

Can’t select a podcast on my Apple Watch. Can’t add an episode to a filter. Doesn’t do audio normalization.

I have fiver internet and the search results are broken in the latest iOS version of Pocket Cast. All search results end up in “no internet” dialog because the search functionality is broken. Not on Wifi and not 5G, so server side issue.

Recent update broke the interface. Now 2/3 of the screen is blocked by a playlist icon.

Goede app met veel handige functies. Maar erg jammer dat in de ‘Ontdek’ functie alleen Engelstalige podcasts staan.

I truly like this app but… sometimes I am forced to use a different platform. These are the main reasons why:
1. content is not available. Luckily this rarely happens. And I am disappointed every time I have to switch to a different app.
2. Loading. The big platforms outperform pocket cast. But it’s only noticeable when the Internet connection is not that great. With a good connection you don’t notice the loading of content.

I have used this app as my primary podcast player for many years. I at one point even purchased the paid version, when it was still a one-time fee. However, that option does not exist anymore - now they want you to pay € 45 per year, which is excessive in my opinion. If you don’t pay up, they place an ugly and intrusive banner, right on the main interface. Farewell Pocket Casts.

How to ruin a good app? Intrusive ads and expensive subscription. This app has both.
Stick to the Apple podcast app. Don’t try this!

Great app even bought the app, but now they a have a subscription model and started shoving ads everywhere.

In the past I paid for the app, I paid a one time fee to use it unlimited, it became free, but now it has ads that I have to pay monthly to remove. What a shambles. Came here to the App Store to see if there were updates because many of my podcasts are not playing for some reason. The update gave me ads.. Will find another app..

A brilliant free app without ads has just ruined my experience by using ads. Unless you pay 40 euro a year. extremely disappointing

The best podcast player by far. Fully worth paying for the extra features which keep on coming. The best thing for me is the Apple Watch app which has all the same sorting features for episodes as the main app.

Niks te klagen hoor. Voorheen vond ik het maar een vervelende app die slecht sync-te, maar het gaat nu super en de basisfuncties zijn gratis geworden. Het is tegenwoordig moeilijk om een goede app te vinden. Maar deze vind ik op dit moment de beste.

I was using the default podcast app but Pocket Casts is so much better. Being able to change settings like how many seconds the skip button should be, increase of volume per podcast etc. Highly recommend this

I’ve been using this app for years. Great ux, great aesthetics! However, in recent weeks I found an annoying bug when going to the discover screen. The app freezes entirely and I can’t tap any buttons. Restarting or uninstalling the app doesn’t work. Every time I go to the discover page it just freezes.

Hi,
I absolutely love the app! I’ve tried many similar apps, and this one stands out—I definitely want to stick with it. However, there’s one feature I’d like to see improved: the sleep timer.
Currently, the sleep timer can restart automatically when I press play again, but only if the podcast was paused less than 5 minutes ago. I’d love it if this 5-minute limitation could be removed or made configurable (e.g., set to unlimited). That way, no matter how much time has passed, I can always press the button on my headphones and have the podcast restart with the sleep timer enabled.
I hope this enhancement can be considered for a future update. Thank you for all the great work you’ve done so far!
Kind regards,
Arthur
