Axel Krottler · Accepted Answer

Pocket Casts is the best looking iPhone podcast app and they have a decent website!

Nichole Elizabeth DeMeré · Answer

A very cool podcast player for iOS, Mac, Apple Watch, and CarPlay.

Chris Messina · Answer

Spotify's been ramping up its support for podcasts. Definitely worth a look.

PodcastMenu is a simple app which puts Overcast on your Mac's menu bar so you can listen to your favorite podcasts while you work.

Michael · Answer

+1 for Breaker, although I don't use the social part the app is seamless. Switched from Overcast after it stopped saving what episode was already played. (could have been a bug but forced me to switch)

Jeremy Bauer · Answer

Yep, was pleasantly surprised to see my favorite podcasts pop on here recently

Joe Cotellese · Answer

I started using this when I switched from iOS to Android. Works really well. Wish there was a Mac OS version.

Abe Estrada · Answer

I like this option because this way I can keep my podcasts synchronized with my phone

John Ababseh · Answer

Spotify has a good mac version for podcasts that's supported on mobile as well.

Rebecca · Answer

Breaker is my favorite. I love the social aspect.

Daniel Wilkinson · Answer

The focus on finding individual podcast episodes that fit my usage pattern has been awesome!

Unofficial Pocket Casts client for macOS. There are a lot of iOS/mobile versions and web players recommended in this thread, but this is a macOS application, and sync with your existing Pocket Casts account. If you use Pocket Casts on mobile, I suggest this solution.

•  Progress bar indicator on Dock icon
•  Supports the use of default media player controls on your Mac (F7-F9)
•  Fullscreen mode

Pocket Casts has a new player for the browser, so you can play your podcasts synced with your app! https://playbeta.pocketcasts.com

Justin Bishop · Answer

This pretty much sums up the web now.  People ask for a desktop app, and everyone answers (and upvotes) an app just for mobile.  Meanwhile websites I view on my desktop tell me to do things like swipe or long press.  RIP desktops.

Rami M. Amin · Answer

All devices on Pocketcasts for 2 years now. My best.

Dalileo Dalilei · Answer

Downcast has everything you need :D

Peter Johnson · Answer

Works great, although uploading podcasts through the website seems to take an age to appear on the phone. Perhaps I am missing something?

Michael Lee · Answer

If you already use Overcast on iOS, have a look at their website. Provides a list of all podcasts you're subscribed to and lets you listen to podcasts in the browser.

Grab some airpods and start using your iPhone! Castro has an awesome Inbox feature that lets you queue or archive new episodes. Here's a great list too: https://www.podcastinsights.com/best-podcast-apps/
