The best podcast app out there...one question...

LionLeone

I love this app and have been a loyal user since 2015 on Android before I switched to ios. One feature on Android I can't find on the ios app is the voice boost feature? Am I just missing something? Or will you add it in the near future?

so stable

Almost Perfect

Let me start by saying, I absolutely love this app. The layout, design, and everything about it works perfectly and I absolutely love how it integrates with my Sonos system. I would absolutely recommend this app to anyone that wants a better podcasting app in the one built into the phone, with only one real downside. With Apple announcing a podcast app for the Apple Watch. I would love to see this app expand their Apple Watch app and let me download podcasts to listen off-line. If I could listen to my Pocket Casts off-line on my Apple Watch while I run, this app would be the absolute best app in the world!

I have just started using Pocket Casts, and I am very happy with it! Podcasts are a big part of my life, and Pocket Casts males it easy to organize all my many subscriptions. The BIG feature that is so important it takes up one whole star: it doesn't show my played episodes. I follow several podcasts that are narrative and are best listened to in order, and I cannot see what episode I last listened to. I like everything except this about this player!

Used to be great

Download is broken and hasn’t worked in over a month. Restart gets it going again but, only once, then downloads break again.

Best podcast app ever

Works great and looks great too. I use the Android version as well and say it’s worth every penny. Much better than Apples podcast app for sure.

Syncing works only some of the time

I really wanted to love this app. And I do like it. Overall I think the ecosystem is better than iTunes + Podcasts app. I always prefer single-purpose apps as opposed to a catch-all like iTunes. But Pocket Casts has a syncing issue, where if I listen to a podcast on my iPhone, the position does not update on my Mac. Sometimes it works (maybe 30% of the time?). The developer knows about the issue and I’ll be happy to update my review when it’s fixed.

BEWARE

While this app has probably the best interface of all the casting apps, you CANNOT sync your progress across devices without purchasing a separate license like you can with Apple’s Podcast app. If I had known this before, I probably would not have purchased this app.

Displeased with sync

I have been using Pocket Casts for a while now and have been generally pleased with the experience. One major issue I have found was when I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Before deleting, I had gone to Settings>Account>Sync Now. I had hoped this would sync all my listening data to my account, primarily the played and unplayed episodes of my 32 podcasts. When I reinstalled the app and signed in, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it hadn't worked. Each show listed every episode as played except the most recent episode in each podcast! I am disappointed, but maybe I misinterpreted what the sync button is designed to do. I would appreciate some feedback or some possible solution so I don't have to go back through almost 2000 episodes of content just to mark all the ones that are played and not played.
