Pocket Casts is one of the most popular podcast apps for mobile devices. Historically it has been paid. But it seems that things have changed.
It has always been one of the favorites of many users, to listen to podcasts or audiobooks. But having to pay for it has made so many other users not dare to install the application. Since many people prefer not to have to pay for any of the apps they use.
Pocket Casts, now free
But it seems that the policy has changed, and as of today, September 18, 2019, you will be able to download it for free. That's right, Pocket Casts free. Sounds good right?
But also, although it is now free, it maintains all its features, such as playback speed controls, the ease of discovering podcasts and offline downloads, dark mode, and so on.
And not only that, they have also confirmed that they will continue to add new features to the free version, so that everyone can enjoy it.
Annual subscription
Wait wait. Free version? That's right, and all that glitters is not gold. The idea of Pocket Casts is still to make money with this, so now we will have Pocket Cast Plus.
Pocket Cast Plus is the monthly / yearly subscription option to get more features. Which? Well, the possibility of accessing the desktop function (for MacOS, Windows or from the web), cloud storage and exclusive icons and themes of the application.
The subscription price for this Plus version is $ 10 per year or $ 0,99 per month. Possibly one of the cheapest subscriptions if you compare with other services like Spotify or Netflix.
What if you had already paid for the app at the time? Don't worry, in this case you will have three-year subscription to Pocket Cas Plus Automatically, they are priced at $ 30, so not bad. Truth?
The idea is not bad, that everyone can enjoy their podcasts for free. And if the application really likes to pay a small fee to fully enjoy the application.
As long as Pocket Casts maintains the functions in the free version and also, as they have said, they include news, this news of the new policy benefits us all.
For the rest, the application maintains the same as it could do. Now would you dare to try it or use it? Do you listen to podcasts on other platforms? Leave us in comments which app you use to listen to your podcasts!
