Pocket Casts is a powerful, beautifully designed podcast player that lets you stream your podcasts from any device. With intuitive playback controls, cross-device syncing, and a clean interface, it’s the best way to enjoy podcasts—now free for all.
Pocket Casts is hands down the best podcast app I’ve ever used. It’s clean, intuitive, and the features actually make listening easier, not more complicated. Loving the new web player, it's is sleek, fast, and gives me the flexibility to listen on my laptop without janky workarounds. If you’re serious about podcasts and want an app that just works (without unnecessary bloat) Pocket Casts is it :)
It's much less cluttered than the podcast experience on Spotify, and it works just as beautifully. Lightweight, clean, and now free. Pocket Casts is the definitive podcast app for me.
Before Pocket Casts, I found the podcast listening experience clumsy. Since I started using the app in 2021, I have listened to over 600 hours of podcasts.

This is pretty great because I can share a particular timestamp of a podcast with a friend without the feeling like I'm expecting them to install an app or for them to subscribe, just so they can listen to the sentence or two I wanted to share.
Simultaneously useful to users and defends the open web. Bravo!
@adii I love this, I use Pocket Casts for my podcasts on my phone but had still been reverting to my YouTube Music for on my desktop.
Now I can use Pocket Casts everywhere - thank you so much.

The latter - it's a rotating podcast covering real life trials in the UK and I can't get enough of it and how the judicial system works.

Sounds good! Could you comment on where revenue will be coming from, now that it's free?

@gthb We do have paid plans that unlocks some premium features that are not available in the free version of the product.
@adii My regular podcast rotations:
SMWX and Dan Corder In The Morning for some South African political balance.
The Adventure Zone for some Dungeons and Dragons podcasting fun.
The Naked Scientist for a great science show.
Grow Leader and various faith-based podcasts including my Church's weekly preach recording podcast.
Random recordings I only have as files that I upload to the app.
I've got big love for Pocket Casts. Not many apps bring me actual joy like this one does.
I use pocket casts everywhere. At home, in the car, on my regular run. It's the best app to listen to podcasts! I love how it lets me queue up podcasts!
