Pocket Casts is a podcast player with tools to track programs and organize episodes. You can build a listening row and save available episodes for later. The app helps especially when you follow multiple podcasts and want to keep the overview.

Not all possibilities are covered by the same plan. Check which devices, storage functions and additional options you get with the free or paid execution. Downloading deliveries costs local storage; automatic saving of many programs can quickly fill that space.

Make a distinction between subscription to a podcast and downloading individual episodes. Following a podcast does not automatically mean that all episodes are available offline. Check your download settings when you want to listen on the go without using mobile data.

A listening queue can prevent you from manually choosing a new episode. Cleanly played downloads regularly on when storage space is limited. When synchronizing, check that you are using the same account on all devices and how progress is updated.

Version and updates

Check for Pocket Casts the version number of the release you are actually installing. The versions for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Web do not have to run the same.

Our verdict

Pocket Casts is a logical choice if you listen to a podcast more than occasionally. A good listening row and clear delivery status prevent you from having to search again and again where you left off. You will notice the added value especially with several followed programs.

Set automatic download and cleanup consciously. You don't want your phone to keep large quantities of episodes unnoticed or remove anything you still need. In addition, compare the available functions per plan. For one sporadic episode, a simple web player can be enough.
