Description

Experience the new playbeta.pocketcasts.com with 2.0.1 version! Includes simple use of Play/Pause, Next and Previous media keys. Source at https://github.com/jomurgel/PocketCaster. Since Google is soon to discontinue Standalone App support in the coming year, I am actively pursuing standalone options. Upvote the issue at https://github.com/jomurgel/PocketCaster/issues/5 if this is something you'd like to see. I am NOT, nor is this app, affiliated with Pocket Casts or Shiftjelly in any way. I just wanted a standalone app for Pocket Casts and apparently so do a lot of other people. Pocket Casts and their logo are copyright Shiftjelly. Check out their app at http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts.

Doesn't work. Same as Kelly, I have the "machine learning" message and it won't load any of my podcasts :(

Doesnt load any of my podcasts. All I get is "Sorry! There was an error loading your podcast."

It didn't give me a free trial, and immediately wanted me to buy it.I did, and then figured out that you cannot download the podcasts from the app, kind of crucial for me. Yet because the payment was not through google, I cannot get a refund within the 30 minute period.

a pocketcaster that doesn't cast podcasts from chrome to a chromecast isn't great. also didn't work with vivaldi

Current version is not working. Gets stuck on some machine learning message I think trying to suggest podcasta. I dont care about that. Now when I click to play the app says Sorry there was a problem loading your podcast.

No free trial? I have to buy it right away? I really was looking forward to this...

I Would use this more over the PocketCasts Webapp if it had support for global hotkeys for jumping forward/backward in a cast rather than just play next song or play last song.

Supporting full screen on video podcasts would be great! Currently the window decoration at the top is still displayed.

I already have this app on android, so having to pay it to use as an extension of google chrome just doesn't feels right. If it was a full windows app, I could think about paying for it. But no thanks. Great app by the way. Just not worth to pay two times for it.

Great except you cannot cast to a chromecast or download a podcast unless you use pocket casts in browser.

it would be cool if you would put a search bar where you could search for something besides the name of the podcast(eg. guest names) also the bar that pops up when you play a podcast covers the bottom of the scroller.
