Comments on Pocket Casts - Podcast App for Android

★★★★★ Dwight Coutts · Jul 2, 2026

I've been using both Pocket Cast and Pocket Cast+ for several years. I've never found a better podcast player. Highly configurable or just stay with the way it comes.

★★★★★ Zengyou Zhang · Jun 30, 2026

I feel this APP is really wonderful. It has a simple and clear user's interfaces which is quite a lot easy to use and smoothy interaction. In addition, the last but not least, it has fewer ads.

★★★★★ cameron hill · Jun 26, 2026

I love this app I listen to my favorite dnd podcasts on this app

★★★★★ Rob Farfan · Jun 23, 2026

I have been using pocket casts since forever I think. It's really the only podcast app I have ever used. It's very easy to use, lots of great features, there's no reason to switch to anything else, it's really the gold standard. Simply, the best.

★★☆☆☆ Paul Radke · Jul 13, 2026

I'd been a long time happy user, but the latest update has forced inaccurate and useless AI generated chapter titles (that can't be hidden or turned off) into the app. I would like to see the actual episode titles when a podcast is playing, not whatever slop titles the AI is hallucinating these chapters to be. If they don't get rid of this "feature" or allow it to be turned off, I'm going to have to find a new podcast player to use instead. They should have left a good app alone.

★☆☆☆☆ Aural Angst · Jul 16, 2026

I can't see any option to automatically download episodes ONLY via Wi-Fi. I just installed this app as having the same problem with Antenna pod. If I can't find a free app with this feature, I will simply stop listening to podcasts via a mobile pod player as I can't afford the data usage.

★★☆☆☆ ffolliott Fisher · Jul 9, 2026

I have used this app for over 5 years and keep it up to date. Recently, however the app has become more and more glitchy. Sections of podcasts are repeated or skipped, some time out and finish suddenly etc. Most recent problem is that the app crashes immediately on playing a podcast. Updating and reinstalling makes no difference. Just to repeat before I get an unhelpful reply from Pocket Casts, these issues have remained over many updates and my app is always up-to-date.

★★☆☆☆ Jed · Jul 13, 2026

I dislike the auto generated chapters. Please let me turn them off

★☆☆☆☆ Adrien Pajot · Jul 1, 2026

Uses cellular data to download podcasts even with correct settings. I think it's when a podcast started downloading on Wi-Fi but didn't finish.
