   Pocket Casts vs Apple Podcasts Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Mar 23, 2025

   Great solution - you can continue listening on another device where you left off on your smartphone, for example. Nice extra: Import from Apple Podcasts via shortcut, possibility to listen not only to podcasts available on the platform but also to add podcasts via RSS feed. Ingenious!

   TuneIn Radio vs Apple Podcasts Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Sep 21, 2015

   It allows streaming of particular shows, but you can't create your own stations or lists of episodes, etc. It's better for listening to radio station live streams.
