Comments on Pocket Casts - Podcast App for Android

★★★★★ Steven Dwello · Jun 26, 2026

This app is the best! It's free, it carries almost every podcast, and best of all they don't fund AI kill-bots! F--k Spotify, those corporate ghouls

★★★★★ Ethan H · Jul 9, 2026

Amazing app with high quality features for free which is rare nowadays, and good premium features if that's your thing

★★★★★ Simon Denning · Jun 19, 2026

Great podcast app. I can find all the podcasts I'm looking for, and it's very intuitive to use.

★☆☆☆☆ Chance Time · Jul 1, 2026

If the app is going to pretend at downloading my episodes then what use do I have for it? Because I refuse to stream.

★★☆☆☆ Nagre F · Jul 9, 2026

I was willing to accept this walled garden, until you started generating AI transcripts on everyone's content. WITHOUT the podcasters consent. And I can't even look at them, because they are behind your PAYWALL! So all the water and energy spent on your AI slop transcripts is wasted. Nothing in it for me. Podcasts are the last free and open media ecosystem, and you fence it in... I'm out! I demand more from my future pod catcher: Software Freedom, no paywall, I'm back to the Antenna Pod-catcher

★★☆☆☆ 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.
