Since Google is soon to discontinue Standalone App support in the coming year, I am actively pursuing standalone options. Upvote the issue at https://github.com/jomurgel/PocketCaster/issues/5 if this is something you'd like to see.
I am NOT, nor is this app, affiliated with Pocket Casts or Shiftjelly in any way. I just wanted a standalone app for Pocket Casts and apparently so do a lot of other people.
Pocket Casts and their logo are copyright Shiftjelly. Check out their app at http://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts.
