  I will never shut up about pocket casts. Their multi-device sync is wonderful. I can pick up where I left off on any episode from any of their apps. They’ve even got a pretty decent UWP app that I use on my Windows installs. They also have rock solid Chromecast support.

  I loved it so much I bought the lifetime pass a long time ago. At any rate, I can’t recommend pocket casts enough!

      Unfortunately, I believe they stopped offering it some time ago. :(

  Another great app for podcasts I can recommend is Podcast Addict. Free and it’s full of great features.

    To clarify, Pocket Casts is also free. 👍 I just recommend supporting them because the pro price is so cheap.

  Cheap? Unless someone snagged Pocketcasts when it was still a one off payment app, it is NOT cheap. Heck, I can pay for YouTube Premium, Spotify Premium and still have money left for one more streaming service to plug into before I hit what Pocketcasts wants me to pay. The app is good but it is the very antithesis of cheap.

    Wow, that’s odd.

    I’m paying 119 SEK/year for the Plus tier, which is the result of a price raise some time ago as well. But I see now that it’s 533 SEK/year all of a sudden for new customers.

    Still, that’s not too expensive, honestly. If you need the features, it’s pretty good.

    I don’t, so I won’t pay that amount of my account is put on that price point…
