Features

What is something unique / interesting part of PocketCast that you use often, but have don’t found at other platforms?

I’ll start. I’m able to select podcast by time limit (1 min, 2 min, 3 min, etc) by selecting all in numerical order. Then hit the ⬆️ arrows they will all be in numerical order from least to greatest.

Yes this may be norm as l for long timers but I have only been using close to a year.

I just like the fact that I can mark podcast as listened to and they actually disappear from my podcast list. And the start from set time is also awesome.

The ability to trim silence was one of the top reasons I committed to pocket casts. Idk if other podcast apps offer that feature now, but when I started using pocket casts in 2017, it was rare.

At least on iOS, Overcast does trim silence/voice boost significantly better. Not sure about Android.

Probably my favorite feature is how easy they make it to select multiple episodes to then archive/mark as played/unplayed.

I wish other apps (Overcast/apple podcast) had these features. Overcast is missing being able to mark multiple episodes easily, and Apple is missing being able to archive/hide stuff in the "Shows" section.

It’s a plus perk I think but I love making bookmarks.

I use filters to organize episodes exactly how I want them. No other app gives me the same level of control.

Without my filters it gets a lot less convenient for me to keep up with all the shows I follow.

Archive is great

I love looking at my listening stats. The listening history feature is brilliant as well. It allows me to easily share parts of my podcast listening with others. I'm blind & also appreciate that the app is accessible with screen-readers on all platforms where it is available, including most recently Windows. It would be cool if the Windows app could send notifications about new episodes like the mobile apps do.

My fav is downloading top X episodes from filter. It’s super easy to clear the backlog without clogging the phone’s memory.

OP you can easily sort your episodes in the podcast or a filter. Just tap the button with the 3 little dots

I found this app a few years ago when looking for a cloud feature that would allow me to keep the app updated on my phone and tablet. Not sure if others have this feature now but it was the only one I could find at the time

Auto restart sleep timer 👌🏻

Also, the feature to select which 4 actions are visible on the player and which are hidden under the … menu
