Genuinely love the Pocketcasts interface and constant product evolution. I was looking for something more custom built for podcast enthusiasts and found exactly what I needed with pocket casts. The discovery feature is well tuned and I like the sleep feature for when I want to close my eyes to someone talking.
Many years ago I was looking for a podcast app. I must have tried 10. This was the one that stuck, and for many reasons. Every update has been intuitive and clean, even when people hated on it! Their release notes are always a fun read. The only release notes I read! I've been listening to pocketcasts for 5+ years, with 111 days worth of podcast listening time so far! It's the best.
The best all-around podcast app by far! Lots to love here: great UI, offline watch playback and robust cross-platform support and syncing. The small team does a good job of moving the product forward with constant additions and innovations.
I don't want to pay for the app itself before knowing if I like it or not. I'd rather pay a monthly subscription for the entire content or just for specific podcasts I like
