Comments on Pocket Casts - Podcast App for Android

★★★★☆ Jason Clark · Aug 17, 2026

Almost perfect. However, with one big issue for me that keeps it from 5 stars. I want a PERMANENT setting to sort podcasts from oldest to newest. By default, it is newest to oldest and every time it gets in my car to listen to podcasts, it always changes back to default. I want a persistent setting that I can change that will stay oldest to newest on ever podcast by default if I set it that way. If that setting exists, then I've not found it.

★★★★☆ Brian Saghy · Aug 26, 2026

Overall a great app, and love that it syncs and has support with Android Automotive. It's lacking a major feature, though, which is sorting episodes by rating or popularity. Finding a podcast with hundreds of episodes - pretty hard to know where to start without this feature.

★★★★★ Łukasz Gruszka · Aug 26, 2026

Problem with video podcasts: 1. When navigating inside app, playback position skips 2. Cannot change speed of video podcast (i.e. to play it 1.5x speed).

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Rushab Shende · Jul 19, 2026

I paid for this app. But now I hear ads at the beginning of podcasts. This isn't what I paid for.
