User reviews

Pocket FM features captivating audio stories with a variety of genres and an option to earn free episodes via ads, making it attractive for casual listeners. However, users frequently report issues such as high costs for full story access, persistent bugs in playback and episode progression, intrusive or malfunctioning ads, limited daily free content, and unreliable progress tracking. Additionally, customer support is lacking, which frustrates those encountering these problems. Despite these drawbacks, many enjoy the storytelling and continue using it for relaxation and entertainment.

Pros

Captivating and well-told stories with a good variety of content.
Option to earn free content through watching ads or other methods, making it accessible for users on fixed incomes.
Useful features like a sleep timer that enhances listening experience.
Provides a decent free listening experience if limited to small daily episodes.
Helps users unwind, relax, and aids with sleep, making it popular for commutes and bedtime listening.

Cons

High cost to unlock full stories; purchasing episodes can be extremely expensive and feels like a money pit.
App glitches frequently including playback issues such as restarting stories from the beginning or previous episodes, not resuming correctly, and lagging.
Ad system is intrusive with repeated ads, increased ad requirements to unlock episodes, and issues with ads not registering rewards properly.
Limited free episode availability per day with inconsistent daily reset timers and lost progress due to app not counting listening or coin streaks correctly.
Poor customer support and lack of direct contact methods for technical issues; some subscription benefits are lost without clear resolution.

UPDATE: (Needs to remember to make this app easy to share. Every page preferably That's a big boo. UPDATE 2. Too many bugs & no tech support. I listen every day & twice so far start me over at day 1. 1st time it fixed it, this time it didn't. I was at 52, I woke up to 1 day as I fell asleep listening to it. You agree to watch an ad and it's like double or triple. Sometimes the same ad repeatedly, which would bother me as an Advertiser. Even the survey glitched & didn't work, Twice.

There are a few good audio books but the cost to continue the story is to expensive, and don't fall asleep while listening it'll auto drain your book credits. It doesn't bother to ask if you'd like to continue. The app has taken credits and won't register when you use the app everyday so you lose daily progress for no reason. Honestly the books aren't good enough to get me to pay.
