We do not yet have AI features for private feeds. But we do have it on the roadmap. Depending on when you tested it last year, you were probably not even able to add your private feeds. In the meantime, you can add your private feeds and li

We do have this in the back of our minds as a possible way to branch out in the future. But for now, we want to first focus all our energy on creating the best experience for podcasts. I'll add your vote to this feature request ;) I th

Completely get that. I always had the same issue with podcasts, which is why I built Snipd together with some friends. If you have the mp3 of the audiobook you can create your own private rss feed with services like SimpleCast and add that

Just like all other podcast apps, we are relying on the RSS feed system and are not streaming any audio from our own servers. The podcasts are streamed directly from the podcast hosters via the URLs provided by podcasters in their RSS feeds

Ok, I added a vote to this feature for you in our internal feature request tracking ;) What do you love about PocketCasts the most?

Cool! That's great. I think there's so much still to do in the space of AI for spoken audio. Be it podcasts, audio books, video calls or similar. So definitely keep at it. I hope you understand that I can't reveal all of our

We don't have a clear date yet when we will tackle it, but it will definitely come. And the more users request it, the sooner it will come. So I'll add your vot to this request ;) Are your private feeds all podcasts or also some o

Haha, I know what you mean. I think almost everyone skips the ads to a certain extent. But you still end up hearing about them at some point. Some of my favorite podcasts are Lex Fridman, Tim Ferris and Andrew Huberman. So there is no way a

Not sure whether this counts, as technically its not CxO, but Elon allegedly changed his title to "Technoking of Tesla"

Thx! With the highlighting, one of our main goals is to make it as easy as possible. At least for me personally, if it's not easy to do, I won't do it. Mainly because I am often on the go when listening to podcasts. And thx to AI,

Cool! Nice to hear that you're already using it :) I'll add your vote to the apple watch app request. We do have it on the longer term roadmap. But given that we are still early, we are trying to focus our energy as much as possib

Yes, we definitely need to add more info on the homepage. The best way to get an overview of how it works & feels like as a user is this youtube video here, which we created for our PH launch today: https://www.youtube.com&#x

Haha, note-taken. This was our first public video and we just recorded it ourselves. Lot of potential for improvement :D Regarding your questions: Yes, you can import your subscriptions from Castro via OPML. We have a How-To in the app for

Yes, there was! And there are even some similarities. My understanding is that they focused on collecting valuable pages from the web. In comparison, we are focused on collecting valuable moments from podcasts :)

Given how early we still are we first want to focus on podcasts and make sure we nail the functionality & experience. In the future, we then want to enable users to also upload their own audio content (e.g. an audio book) and benefit fr

I completely get that. See my comment above why we decided against having a dedicated feature for this. I'm hoping that tipping (or similar forms) will get more popular in the future and be supported by more podcast creators in their R

We thought about that and actually decided against a dedicated feature doing exactly this. The reason being that we do not want to hurt podcaster's ability to monetize their content. That being said, with the automatically generated ch
