For a while now, we’ve felt that charging for our apps conflicted with their core values of being free and available to everyone. We have the backing of some amazing partners, all of whom come from the world of public media, and firmly believe in an open-access approach. It was a business model that paid the bills, but often caused confusion with our customers: “I’ve already bought the iPhone app, why do I have to pay again on Android?!”, “Why is the app paid?”, “How can I recommend this to friends when it will require them to pay?” Today, things are different. Back then, we had a small company to run and our families literally depended on the money we made from app sales. Pocket Casts has been a paid app since it first launched in 2010.
