Pocket Casts Expands to Apple TV
Pocket Casts, a podcast player, has released a native application for Apple TV. This new app provides users with a way to listen to their podcasts directly on their television, offering access to their Up Next queue, listening history, and synchronized playback positions across devices.
Feature Set and Cross-Device Sync
The Apple TV app is available for free and includes core Pocket Casts features. It allows users to start an episode on one device, such as an iPhone, and resume it at the same point on their Apple TV. This cross-device synchronization ensures continuity in listening experience.
Future Plans and Recent Updates
Following the Apple TV launch, Pocket Casts plans to release an Android TV version. The company has also implemented several updates to its other platforms, including the adoption of Apple's Liquid Glass design for its iPhone app in June and the addition of chapter artwork to the Lock Screen, Control Center, and CarPlay in July.
