I think this new freemium pricing model is a great move for PocketCasts. If these features apeal to you then the low cost of upgrading to PocketCasts Plus may be worth it. This is cool.Īnd if you are bored of the light, dark and extra dark options in PocketCasts you can now customize the look of the app to your own liking by choosing your own colors and icons. If you have your own media files like keynote speach recordings from conferences, ebook recordings, webinar recordings or any other sources you can now upload them into your PocketCasts account and access them through PocketCasts. PocketCasts remembers where you left off! Just like switching between Android and iOS apps. You can listen to the Android or iOS PocketCasts app while commuting to work and then switch to the desktop web app and continue your episode on your computer. PocketCasts Desktop app was previously sold as a separate app but is now included with PocketCasts Plus. Customize the app with colors and icons of your choice.Upload your own media files to listen in the PocketCasts platform.

PocketCasts Plus is $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year and you will get some new features for your small investment. PocketCasts has decided it wants everyone to be able to use the app because they believe podcasting should be open and without walled gardens.īut they are also offering a paid version of Pocketcasts… PocketCasts PLUS Instead of having to buy the app to enjoy the best podcast listening app (IMHO) you can now download it FOR FREE. So I bought the app and have been happy with it ever since. I’m also a cross-platform guy so I wanted an app that I could use on iOS and Android and PocketCasts was the only app that could sync between multiple platforms at the time. I consider myself a podcast power user and the default iOS podcast app just didn’t do it for me. Pocket Casts has been my go-to podcast app for years.
