Gone are the days of bad podcasting applications, with Pocket Casts 4, we finally have a beautiful podcasting app. In its latest release, Pocket Casts brings a major UI overhaul and many new features. You can subscribe to multiple feeds (both audio and video), auto download new podcasts, and manage playback through your notifications.
Along with the added features, the updated user interface is second to none. With beautiful colors, icons, and text, this update looks truly amazing. Pocket Casts’ design can easily rival some of the best looking applications on the play store.
On the flip side, Pocket Casts will run you just about $4 in the play store with no free version available, but to say its worth the money would be an understatement. If you listen to podcasts, downloading this application should be a no brainer.

The new interface looks nice but now downloads won’t finish, they remain in an endless spinning state. The widget was also removed. The developers seem to be responsive and quick at updating though, so hopefully these kinks get worked out soon.
purchased last night. would not download casts for offline listening. wrote developer this morning he said there was an update. updated still no downloads. wrote again & no response. it even says in the “whats new” section that there have been downloads issues. good UI, but if a podcast app does not download podcasts, it’s like having a browser that can not execute google searches. very recent new design, so the high ratings refers from previous version. newer reviews are also negative. i called google play and got a refund.
this is a pre-bata app.
Hands down the best podcast app.
