PocketCast is a minimalist OS X app that allows you to access the Pocket Casts web interface without having to clutter your browser. Pocket Casts also comes with companion apps for the major mobile platforms: iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

There are still a couple of small things missing, like Overcast's awesome ability to download a single episode without subscribing to an entire show, but Pocket Casts has just about everything you could want.Pocket Casts is an online service that helps you keep all your podcasts in the same place while enabling you to access your account from any desktop computer via a web browser. For everyone else, it's just a super-simple grid of show icons. It has all the fiddly bits podcastheads will love, like chapter markers, show notes, a running queue for uninterrupted listening, and support for 3D Touch. Version 6.0 borrows a few great features from other podcast apps, like automatic silence-trimming and voice-boosting. Pocket Casts keeps lists of episodes you've already started, ones you've downloaded but not listened to (which is handy for clearing space on your phone), and more. It's now really easy to find new podcasts to listen to, sort through the ones you already have, and more. The new version for iOS, Pocket Casts 6.0, brings the app-which was great for a long time, and has kind of languished the last couple of years-into full-fledged modernity. But a brand-new update to Pocket Casts makes it hands-down the best iPhone podcasts app, not to mention the best overall service for people who want to podcast from all manner of different devices. There are lots of better somethings, no matter what platform you use. If you're exploring the weird, wide, wonderful world of Internet audio, you need something better. Yeah, it's nice that it comes pre-loaded on your iPhone-but so does Apple Maps, and if you use that you'll probably end up driving into a river. It's time to stop using Apple's Podcasts app.
