Still, it was not my favorite app to use on iPhone. Apart from all its awesome features, which we will get into in this article, the biggest reason I have stuck with Pocket Casts is its cross-platform availability and sync feature. However, none of them has stuck around with me as long as Pocket Casts.
Some of them were pretty bad while some like Castro 3 impressed me a lot. Over the past few years, I have tested many different podcast apps to find out which one offers the best overall experience. Syncing subscriptions, play positions, and other data across multiple copies of the app in iOS and among different platforms is free.If you follow this website regularly, you know that I love podcasts. The web app costs $9, which seems like a steep price, despite its high-quality design and function. Shifty Jelly charges separately for iOS (universal version), Android, and web.
However, I find Pocket Casts trimming is a little too snippy, sounding in my tests too much like abruptly clipped audio. It can also trim silences, useful for snipping out the blank spaces in slower conversations. The app offers the usual range of playback options: a scrubbing slider, variable playback speed, a snooze timer, and a volume boost. Per-podcast settings let you override how many episodes are stored, among other options. But the placement of the filters is a little awkward, and you can’t assemble static lists of preferred episodes-that only works in the Up Next queue. The app includes a Filter feature that’s like a smart playlist, letting you pick which podcasts, how recently released, and whether they’re starred. You can also choose for each podcast whether you want new episodes to queue themselves automatically as released. Pocket Casts’ triage options lets you add episodes at a tap to the bottom of a global Up Next queue. The Up Next queue is a nifty way to manage an on-the-fly playlist.
You can opt to keep more of every podcast or switch the setting on a per-subscription basis. To keep episode storage from ballooning out of control, Pocket Casts only keeps the most recently downloaded episodes and deletes episodes after playing.
