  the web portal and the mac app are pretty lousy and do not have the same features as the iOS app but developers have the ability to unlock their iOS app for distribution in the Mac app store…please enable this!

  Thanks for reaching out!

  I’ve gone ahead and forwarded this along to our developers as a feature request. I can’t offer an estimated timeframe or confirmation that it will be implemented, but our developers will certainly take it into consideration!

  I’d also love to be able to use Pocket Casts on my Mac. Any possibility of this soon?

  @dbarros We don’t have any news on this at the moment, but I’ve added your comment to the existing feature request so our developers can take it into consideration going forward.

  I’d also like to see this be possible. The web/desktop app is good and I use it daily but the native experience would be great since there are still significant features unavailable in the web app. Alternatively it would be nice for the web app to have feature parity with the mobile app but I’m not sure that’s on the cards.

  I agree! That would be the awesome.

  For now I’ve added your voice @suburbiaboy to our ongoing conversation on unlocking the Pocket Casts iOS app on the Mac.

  I thought you might find it interesting that Marco Arment said that he allows the iPad version of Overcast to be used on the Mac and he has more Mac users than iPad users. So there’s clearly some demand.

  I’m very much interested in switching from Overcast to Pocket Casts but the feature parity loss between iOS and Desktop app will probably keep me on Overcast.
