Bookmarks

Bookmarks is a paid feature that allows you to save important moments in episodes, so you can jump back to them later on any device you wish to use. Not only will you be able to save bookmarks from within the apps, but you’ll also be able to add bookmarks directly from your headphones with customizable Headphone Action settings.

Bookmarks is available in Pocket Casts from the following app versions:

• iOS and Android mobile apps: 7.52 for Patron users and 7.53 for Plus users
• Web and desktop apps: 3.6.17 for Patron users and 3.6.18 for Plus users

Can I access all my bookmarks in one view?

Yes, you can view all of your bookmarks in one place:

• iOS and Android mobile apps – go to Profile > Bookmarks
• Web and desktop apps – click on “Bookmarks” in the left-hand sidebar

Why doesn’t playback always resume at the exact point I bookmarked?

If a podcast uses dynamic content or ads, the duration of its episodes may vary. This, in turn, will affect the accuracy of where bookmarks are placed.

On the mobile apps, downloading an episode (iOS, Android) may offer a more reliable bookmarking experience.

Can I change a bookmark’s position?

No, you cannot change a bookmark’s position once it is added. However, you can delete the bookmark and add a new bookmark at the desired position.

Can I add bookmarks on both streamed and downloaded episodes?

Absolutely! The Bookmarks feature works on both streamed and downloaded episodes.

Can I add bookmarks even if I am offline?
