I've been using it since it was owned by the original developers, Aussie indy outfit Shifty Jelly (along with their late, and definitely lamented, Pocket Weather). It's the one app that has gone with me as I've shifted between iOS and Android over the years. It's probably the only app I regularly use that I've never checked out alternatives for, as it's just so good.

Good to know I’m not alone. I’ve used it since (according to the app) 1/14/17 and have amassed 51d 7h of listening time. I feel like I’ve used it since around 2014 or so, but I could be wrong. I know somewhere around that time there was a platform switch and stats got lost.

In any event I was overjoyed when they grandfathered me to a lifetime subscription after switching to a paid model. I truly, deeply appreciate this app and all the work they put into this.

It's nearly 400 days for me, but the key feature is the "127 days" I've saved using their speedup features (intro skipping, ~1.5x playback, silence reduction).

The latter two don't just save time, but make hosts sound more lively. Podcast hosts are trained to speak slowly and carefully, which is good for most audiences, but I prefer it a bit tighter. I listen while running or driving and it helps me stay engaged.

Pocket Casts has some remarkable algorithms which do the speed-ups while remaining natural-sounding or forced (at least at the speeds I listen).

Antenna Pod has these features.

Wow, thought mine was high. I have been listening since October 2015, 114 days. I must confess that sometimes I fall asleep while listening.

Definitely been one of my most used apps over the years!

Time really flies... I paid $2.99 for Pocket Casts on Android in 2011 and $3.99 on iOS in 2014. Glad they are sharing this under MPL. Just a great app.
