Pocket Casts - Podcast App

A podcast app for regular listeners

Pocket Casts - Podcast App is a podcast player for Android that helps you find shows, manage episodes, and listen at your own pace. It suits people who follow several podcasts and want more control than a simple play-and-subscribe setup provides. You can browse recommendations, search for shows, and play both audio and video episodes.

Keep listening organised

The app gives you several ways to arrange what you want to hear next. Build playlists from episodes across different podcasts, or use automatic lists based on rules such as release date, duration, or download status. An Up Next queue can gather episodes from your regular shows, while filters help separate unfinished, downloaded, or ready-to-play items.

Playback tools that fit the episode

Pocket Casts includes controls for changing playback speed, skipping set intervals, trimming silence, and boosting voices over background noise. Chapters make it easier to move through longer episodes, and a sleep timer can stop playback when you are done for the night. You can stream episodes as needed or prepare them for listening away from a connection.

Made for different listening setups

Choose from light, dark, or extra-dark themes, with artwork-based colour changes for a more personal interface. Playback can extend beyond the phone through Android Auto, Chromecast, Sonos, Alexa, and Wear OS controls. The app is published by Automattic, Inc and has a 4.84 rating from 112,602 reviews, with 1,000,000+ installs.
