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.

★★★★★ Jack Wood · Sep 4, 2026

What a pleasure to use an app dedicated to podcasts. Having used Spotify for ages, I don't know why I didn't move to using Pocket Casts sooner. The ability to trim silent moments, set up per-podcast rules for playback speed and customizable auto-skipping the start and end of podcasts are my favorite features.

★★★★★ Dmitry Mahson · Sep 16, 2026

I really like this app. The only thing missing for me is an option to clear the badge for a specific podcast, like Cast box does. When I select the “Only Latest Episode” badge, I would like to be able to clear the badge without archiving the latest episode. That way, I’ll always know when a new episode appears.

★★★★★ Alex Leaver · Aug 27, 2026

Best app for podcasts I've found. Easy to discover new podcasts and download episodes for offline listening.

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Pedicini · Sep 3, 2026

Auto organizes newest to oldest. Will revert to that for every show if you put the app in the background. No option to set global defaults for playback swapping. Off to find a different player.

★★☆☆☆ Glen S · Sep 21, 2026

Subscription model lost me. Bye Update 21/09/26 Changed rating from 1 to 2 stars because they restored the no ads' version for those that already had paid for the app. There is no real value in the new subscription model for the average user. Why would you pay $66 AUD a year for a podcast aggregator app to remove ads when the podcasts put in their own ads anyway? But it's only $1.27 a week.... yeah yeah, so is everyone else's subscription dreams of steady income.

★★☆☆☆ Jeff Spires · Aug 6, 2026

Works for podcasts. Wish it could be set to default to the oldest episode or play the next episode that succeeds the episode selected. It always defaults to the most recent episode, which is annoying for serials.
