Pocket FM: Audio Series
How does the offline download feature work on Pocket FM?
You can download episodes while connected to WiFi by tapping the download icon next to any episode. This saves the audio directly to your device, so you can listen on the subway or anywhere without using mobile data.
Can I adjust the playback speed or use a sleep timer in Pocket FM?
Yes, Pocket FM includes both features. You can speed up narration to 1.2x or slower, and the sleep timer automatically stops playback after a set time—perfect for falling asleep without waking up to intense scenes.
Why did my Pocket FM app crash when switching from WiFi to cellular data?
This is a known bug that occurs during network transitions. To avoid it, try closing and reopening the app after switching networks, or keep your connection stable while listening. The developers are likely working on a fix.
How do I unlock episodes that require coins or a subscription?
You can purchase coins through the app or subscribe to a plan. Each episode costs a different number of coins, so check the episode page for the exact price. For heavy listeners, a subscription may be more cost-effective than buying coins individually.
How does Pocket FM compare to Audible for audio series?
Pocket FM is generally cheaper per month than Audible, but its coin-based system can be confusing and less straightforward. Audible offers a simpler credit model, while Pocket FM focuses more on serialized audio dramas and has a larger free library to start with.
