Always been my favorite, most intuitive, interface for me. I am also in love with the shuffle feature which comes with premium, only thing missing is “sorting” in the queue, sometimes i want to listen to all my shortest episodes or maybe oldest to newest in the listening queue itself. favorite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always been my favorite, most intuitive, interface for me.

I’ve been using Pocket Casts for years. It organizes your podcasts in color coded folders you get to name and select the color. There are options for speed and download g works efficiently. All in all, it’s a user friendly app. Great Podcasts App I’ve been using Pocket Casts for years. It organizes your podcasts in color coded folders you get to name and select the color.

I don’t have a broad basis for comparison, but compared to the likes of Apple podcasts or any of the freebie/default ones provided by Google or Apple this one really shines. The tricky thing about podcasts sometimes – in particular, the ones where you’re really trying to learn something – are notes. If I’m sitting down with a keyboard or a notepad in hand, I can easily take notes to what I’m listening to; pause rewind, listen again. This isn’t real practical if I’m on a ride or a hike while listening to something, and the built-in bookmark capability with pocket cast is a lifesaver Everything I need I don’t have a broad basis for comparison, but compared to the likes of Apple podcasts or any of the freebie/default ones provided by Google or Apple this one really shines.The tricky thing about podcasts sometimes – in particular, the ones where you’re really trying to learn something – are notes.

I use it everyday! It works great! I'm able to nicely organize my podcasts. I can select how of each feed that I want to have on hand. It offers plenty of playback options! It is pretty perfect! Plus there are so many more features that haven't even used yet! Best Podcast Player I've used! I use it everyday! It works great! I'm able to nicely organize my podcasts.
