I really appreciate this video. I've been bouncing between Spotify and Apple Podcasts for about a year now and never really knew what I was missing until you broke it down. I just downloaded pocket casts and I am excited to see the next level of podcasts. Thank you, you have a new subscriber.

@beardfm 2 года назад

That’s awesome, great choice! And thanks for subscribing!

Pocket casts is the best app I have used. It's ui is clean, easy to follow for anyone and just works from the get go. Others like podcast addict and republic on Android have too many features and very bad ui for no reason. I wish for a few more features on pocket casts tho, mainly searching for episodes. Only other competitor is antennapod

@mr_red13 9 месяцев назад

What do you mean searching for episodes? Like episode number?

I just found out that my Stitcher app is being discontinued in August so this was very helpful in finding an alternative. I just really need one that is used on iphone (what I have) and android (which most of my students have). Thanks!

Glad it was useful, and I'd recommend Pocket Casts 100%

@jithendra7030 2 года назад

Really appreciate the video, thanks. I am still using google podcasts and i really like it so far. no issues with the app.

@adamstorkbm Год назад

I was using Google Podcasts for a while as well, until about a few months ago. One of the things I disliked about them was that episodes only had the show's main 'album' art even if each episode had its own, different one. Kind of lessened the listening experience for me.

@mr_red13 9 месяцев назад

@@adamstorkbmthis is what I dislike about Pocket Casts too. I like seeing unique artwork per episode and now I don’t know if I should go to Apple or Spotify for that experience.

Castro have a unique feature that is converting any video in audio file. I love!

@beardfm 2 года назад

Castro has great “Share a clip” features for sure!

@greghernandez7590 Год назад

I’ve used Pocketcasts for over 10 years on both android and iPhone. For the last 6 months or so it’s been unexpectedly dumping podcasts that are next in queue after playing a second or two. Updating and playing with settings doesn’t help. Pocketcasts WAS the best app but the new devs aren’t fixing this. Maybe I’ll give overcast another shot.

@minghonsiu 2 года назад

From your exp, which app has the best feature? I use pocket cast and I find it very hard to find podcasts in its app. Or how do you search for podcasts? Thank you!

@KrishnaMamunuru 2 года назад

Love the video, I use Pocketcast and really love it, love overcast too but the main reason I don't use overcast is in the smart playlist you don't have the feature where you can filter episodes released only this week, so when I create a smart playlist it shows every episode of the show. I wish they had that feature or does it come as premium feature, let me know If I am missing anything here

@KrishnaMamunuru 2 года назад

Also cannot see Up next or queue on overcast

@beardfm 2 года назад

Thanks! And even when creating Smart Playlists, Overcast only allows you to choose specific shows and arrange newest to oldest. No option for "only last 7 days" or anything though.

I’ve noticed Apple Podcasts runs smoother on iOS but I keep going back to Pocket Casts because of it’s vast features. You even pointed out some features I didn’t know were on there. Love the video! Thank you!

@beardfm 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! Once iOS 17 launches in a couple weeks, you may want to take another look at Apple Podcasts. I’m really liking the design and layout in the new version, but still lacks some features that Pocket Casts has, like setting an intro skip per specific episode, skip forward more than 60 seconds, etc.

@MeHeartBooks 2 года назад

I use pocket-casts too, my only annoyance is the recommendation feature, it doesn’t seem very smart. How to you guys find good recommendations on this app?

@beardfm 2 года назад

The discover page will pull top shows charting in Apple Podcasts. But I often hear about podcasts from other podcasts 😂

@JasonQiuMusic 2 года назад

Can you recommend an app that remembers your listening position across all devices? I'm no longer using Spotify and can't find another app that does this!

@beardfm 2 года назад

Pocket Casts does it exceptionally well! Syncs between iPhone, iPad, web player or Mac app. I believe Overcast does it too but I have less experience with that.

Love the video, I love pocket cast, best podcast app by far. Do you know if there’s a trick to getting latest podcast episodes faster. Recently some of my favorite podcasts are taking for ever to appear. I know part of it is the podcaster themselves when they upload it but just taking longer than usual. Just wondering if there’s any tricks or faster options. Thank you

@beardfm 2 года назад

Thanks! The only manual refresh option is if you tap on “Profile” > Scroll all the way down > Refresh Now. That will make Pocket Casts refresh all your feeds and check for new episodes!

@MichaelStanton Год назад

Apple Podcast pisses me off. After an update it reverts carplay steering wheel controls back to previous next instead of the setting I changed it to forward 30 and back 30 seconds. So when I forget and I use my steering wheel to rewind the podcast 30 seconds to just start the entire thing over drives me insane! Can you do a carplay podcast app video?

@house0412 9 месяцев назад

Pocket cast must have listened to your review. They're up to 40 dollars a year! I found this review while searching for an alternative to Pocket Cast. Imagine my horror when I find out that they are the best! 😂

@beardfm 9 месяцев назад

Haha well I still think they’re the best for power listeners, but iOS 17 is bringing some big changes to the Apple Podcasts app that make it a better experience. It should be out for everyone next week!
