User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Everything is Wonderful!
I don’t know how long I have had Pocketcast on my phone but it is GREAT!! I just joined Plus for the extra features and I waited too long. Pocketcast is worth paying for.
★★★★★Good App
The app is a good pod catcher that allows for the addition of RSS feeds as well, no complaints from me
★★★★★Ideal for heavy users
If you follow an embarrassingly large number of podcasts, this is the one. I moved here after Overcast’s rewrite became unusable and Apple Podcasts kept crashing. Pocket Casts is the only app I’ve found that actually handles a heavy load with zero lag. It opens instantly, the playlists and filters are powerful, and the wonderful many settings give you total customization. It took minutes to switch apps and I couldn't be happier.
★★★★★So long, Spotify
I don’t usually leave app reviews but i love this too much not to review and share. So long, Spotify. I started using Spotify solely for podcast listening. When that no longer worked for me, I researched alternatives.

★★★★☆Playlist artwork taking up half the screen is a major regression
Please give us the option to remove the collage of cover artwork at the top of every playlist. It is a huge annoying waste of space!
