Pocket Casts used to be a paid app but now it’s totally free.
What’s best is that now you get all these features for free. You also get all the other features like queue episodes, smart speed, silence removal, and more. Apart from these new features you also get a completely redesigned UI which is native to iOS and looks really good. It also allows you to play podcast episodes without having to subscribe to podcasts which is a good way to check out new podcasts without crowding your feed. In fact, the search is so good that you can use any term whether it’s in the title or in the show-notes and it will bring the right result. Now, not only you can search for podcasts but also for episodes inside podcasts. The app was also recently updated to version 7 which brings a plethora of new features. In fact, the app is so good and popular that it was recently acquired by a collective group of some of the biggest names in the world of podcasting which include NPR, WNYC Studios, WBEZ Chicago, and This American Life.
I will start this list with one of the best podcasts apps that you can find on the App Store, and that’s Pocket Casts.
