Podcast App for Negative User Reviews

Good ideaHas some good ideas and layout behind it but too many bugs. Gets stuck on opening screen, logs you out often, wont let you log back in without signal and often doesn’t play downloaded podcasts..Version: 6.44.0

Do not get this app!they take $32 out your credit card without actually getting your permission!!Disgusted. I realized by accident I had this subscripted and workout my permission since November when I downloaded this app and Never even used it!! I even deleted the app and still says I am subscribed til November ,,, I want a refund and can’t figure out where and how to do this , I didn’t give ya permission at all and never used it so why they u take $32 from me. Wow!!.Version: 3.48.0

Messy disappointingFor some reason the podcasts stop after 60 seconds when phone locked. Main screen very ugly and messy.Version: 2.26.23

Please fix the problemsI like this app better than the apple podcast app but recently there have been some problems. the latest podcast feed suddenly stopped working and so I had to manually go through ‘my shows’ looking at the episodes which had a number in the corner to show there were new episodes. However, now, even that number has disappeared so I have no way of knowing when a new episode is released. Please fix!.Version: 3.20.0

Disappearing FavouritesOn the whole, I’m happy with the podcast app, especially being able to speed up the broadcast and skip backwards & forwards by a number of seconds. However, why do my favourites disappear randomly? Others, which I listen to rarely, stay on the grid permanently..Version: 3.40.0

Please make an ad-free paid version!I have not found a way to contact you, nor any mention of paying for an ad-free upgrade. Apple’s podcast app became a dumpster fire with iOS 11. Your app is really good most of the time. It’s clean, smooth, and generally efficient. There’s a big but here though! When the full screen ads pop up unexpectedly, the app gets really clunky. It’s always at the most inopportune times. It’s those times that I get really frustrated at your lack of foresight in not offering a paid, ad-free version. I get really close to deleting the app each time it happens. I really don’t want to have to do that. Once a paid, ad free version is available, and you are more transparent in communication, you’ll probably get five stars..Version: 1.5.1

Not much of an exciting line up in any of these lists!Very one sided! Get more broader scope of topics! More art and music! Paid but not really happy with it! Angela.Version: 3.47.0

I want to love itThis is a great podcast app. I have disliked many podcasts apps for various reasons (the native app doesn’t load new episodes quickly, even when refreshed, others have bad design) and this one solves many problems. It has good search, an easy enough design for getting to the podcasts I want to listen to. The biggest hang up I have with it is it eats space. My phone told me to manage my space since it was getting low, and this app was 1.1GB of data. But rather than just clearing a couple episodes that have been downloaded (like other apps), there is no way to see what has been downloaded, what/when episodes will be downloaded, and how to delete them once they’re downloaded. Hence my bloat problem. I had to regretfully delete the app. If there was a preference to choose when to download and to then delete, I would keep it and continue using it, even with ads..Version: 3.0.4

Why can’t we rate shows?I use this app all day everyday. My biggest gripe is that you can’t rate and review podcasts. It honestly makes no sense. Much better than apple’s podcast app but I still go there to rate all my podcasts and find new ones based on my ratings. Ok so now I’m super frustrated. This app has become so slow. Dunce January, even though I am a paying subscriber, I get soooo many ads. It takes forever for the ad to stop, c out of it and get to the podcasts again to either rewind or change the episode I’m listening to. So frustrating. I decided that I’m going to give apple podcasts another try. Really sad after 5 years that the ads I’m paying to avoid are pushing me out. Canceled my subscription just now. Also still frustrated years later that you can’t rate shows..Version: 6.19.0

Not freeFalsely advertised.Version: 6.32.0

Awful Update ChangesFor years I have been using this app and after the most recent update, I couldn’t be more frustrated with it. The new interface makes it more inconvenient to access the podcasts I had subscribed to and listen to on the daily. Being someone who is not always looking for the newest podcasts, I very often dive into different episodes that are not the latest. I suppose only ever being caught up is what is expected of the now short term attention spans people have. I have to go through a series of “Whats new” options passing as if watching someone’s stories from Instagram or Snapchat. I can’t simply select the podcast which would normally direct me right to the list of episodes within the podcast I had subscribed to. WHY?! Not only does it take forever to access the page I had subscribed to, it doesn’t even play. I waited over 20 minutes for an episode to load thinking it might be my service, internet connection, or my phone in general, so I shut my phone off and tried other routes and still nothing. After using this app, I am entirely and completely over it. It’s irritating enough that people who think they’re doing better by upgrading something and giving in to the modern era of thinking is frustrating..Version: 4.7.0

It’s a good app - when it opensLately when I try to launch the app, it won’t open. I turn my phone off and on hoping that’ll fix it but it’s still annoying that I have to keep opening and closing it to try to launch the app!.Version: 6.35.1

MisleadingNot at all free Clearly fake ads.Version: 5.9.0

MehI love the selection and variety of podcasts and that it doesn’t take up a lot of storage space, but I think it should be easier a) to discover the lesser known podcasts within a category and b) download episodes for offline listening. As for B- the actual downloading isn’t the issue, but for some reason it isn’t always available once I go offline. This tends to happen more if I either c) pause a podcast while offline (as in it will be playing just fine but then won’t play due to it being offline when I attempt to resume playing) or d) download several episodes and attempt to listen to the next episode on the docket. As for d), I would like to be able to download a whole bunch of them to, go offline, and listen to them offline. In addition, I would like to be able to save an episode without downloading it. Now it’s quite possible that there’s a way to do all of the things I mentioned, but as there’s no FAQ or help center etc, I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that..Version: 2.21

Can’t even mark episodes as playedI had high hopes for this app after struggling through with the poorly thought out Apple podcasts app. However, with this one you can’t even mark an episode as played (in case you’ve listened elsewhere or just want the app to know you’re done with an episode). Basic functionality completely missing. Disappointing..Version: 3.43.2

Great app. Painfully slow to load.Get off the standard Apple podcast app! Use this one! I love this app… but since the major big update, my 3 year old phone struggles to open it. First world problems to be waiting what feels like 20+ seconds for the app to open… but if that was fixed I just might use this app for the rest of my life..Version: 5.12.0

Great app however?Ok this app does everything you want a podcast player to do, this also has a handy sleep timer to shut down after 10-20mins or end of episode. One problem, it will not connect to Jordan Peterson podcasts? Now I’m not sure if this is a fault (works with other apps) or this is because they have blocked users from connecting to him due to his political views? Please answer developers.Version: 2.8

My queeryHi. I’m a big fan of the podcast app. My favourite podcast is the autopsy the last hours of podcast of which there is a new episode uploaded each Wednesday. It’s this that I’d like to comment. As great full as I am to be able to listen to this very interesting and entertaining podcast each week, I’m just wondering if it would be possible to upload a new episode of autopsy the last hours of to be uploaded five days a week rather than just the one Wednesday a week? I really enjoy this podcast and during these kovid Tim’es I have plenty of opportunity to listen to more of them which of course is more difficult when only one episode is uploaded per week. Many thanks and best wishes..Version: 3.25.0

Used to be great now it sucksI don’t mind the new layout but I can’t play Pokémon go while playing any podcasts! It makes my game say there’s no gps. Doesn’t happen with the music app or any other app. Please fix!!!!.Version: 1.3.8

Paid but still get the adsI paid the $40 odd dollars to subscribe yet I still get annoying advertising inside the app. That’s the first frustration but it gets worse; if for some reason you try to load the app when you’re out of range of a cell network then you can’t use this app. I’ll be looking for a better option toward the end of this current subscription.Version: 5.14.0

Was recommendedDoThis app caters to first world problems only and the solutions solution-based focus discussions I should say are absolutely ludicrous and do not work for the real average common person should be notedI can’t even believe the fees and the cost just to have the staff to listen to people talk about their own personal first world generation problems when they don’t have the financial woes and troubles of every day people who are trying to get through this pandemic with keeping their head intact on their shoulders it’s hard to be nice right now in the world of people who are in it for themselvesAnd this podcast has not helped me in 1 ounce retrospectively from a year ago when I look back every podcast.Version: 5.14.0

It used to be good but not no moreThis app used to be free but now they want money for it , Not happy , now it’s just a free seven day trial , Guess I’ll be looking for a new podcast app.Version: 5.6.0

Needs a few minor adjustments*update - what happened to the seamless listening? It used to just go from the episode I was listening to to the very next episode. Now it stops playing and I have to go back into the app and hit play to listen to the next one. Several times when I do this it freezes up and I have to close the app or click on the next episode and back to the one I want to listen to for it to work. Disappointing changes, unfortunately... Fix these things and then I'll re-visit this rating.* Please make it to where I can tell the app I've already listened to previous episodes! It's annoying to have to click on the episode and ff all the way through to the end just to get it off my list. I love that it automatically goes from one episode to the next (unlike Apple's podcast app). That was the main reason I started using this, but now I need for it to say that I've already listened to the episodes from before I switched..Version: 6.6.0

SubscriptionA bit miffed that I was billed a year subscription after momentarily downloading tk listen to a friend share on a podcast !.Version: 6.48.1

Too many adsThis has better user interface than the Apple podcasts app, however it comes at the price of being interrupted with ads when attempting to navigate the app. Not sure what’s a worse off trade. Would love to find an app that has good user interface without interrupting the user with advertisements that they have to wait to load before closing..Version: 6.43.0

Useless on the roadIf I go to the trouble of preloading a bunch of casts then get on the road and they’re gone, well, no thanks. And yes, I did click the plus button before I took it to the road. Got two minutes of playback then back to the start of the ‘cast. Then ten minutes, loop, then twenty. Guessing it was downloading that third time..Version: 1.9.2

Fantastic app, but...The minimalistic design and simple controls would make this by far the best podcast app out there, if not for 2 major flaws. The first of which is not being able to add in my own RSS feeds for podcasts that are not public. The Second is playback speed, this app does not include the ability to speed up or slow down your podcasts. Also I HATE ads, please developers can you add the ability to pay to get rid of them, I’d rather pay a few dollars for an ad free experience than put up with constant bombardment! If these issue were fixed this would be the perfect podcast app!.Version: 1.4.5

Was GreatI always listened to pod casts on the Apple podcast app but I decided to try something new since I found the Apple one a little annoying. This one is so great i love that I can search for a specific podcast or use a key word to find one I want to listen to however it doesn’t work anymore. I use the app everyday and the past three days it stopped working. I have listened to more ads then I should because it will load only the first two ads and not the episode I want to listen to. At first I though it was my works Wi-Fi so I used my data ( I have unlimited high-speed data) and the app still would do the same thing. I restart my phone close the app and reopen still won’t work. I checked for an update there is none. I want this to work so badly but I think I’ll just return to Apple podcasts so I can actually listen to my show. It will work maybe for two episodes of the day and then it malfunctions..Version: 5.23.0

Almost as bad as Apple podcast appThis app is nearly as bad as Apple’s. Not only is it loaded with ads that you can only dispel with a $10/MONTH subscription, but the app is also loaded with errors and bugs. I keep having this problem where the app will fail to either download or play certain episodes of podcasts, but I can’t discern any kind of pattern and typical solutions (trying again later, closing and re-opening the app, etc) don’t help. Like the Apple podcast app, there’s no easy way to change the order in which episodes play (I don’t always want newest to oldest!). Also a lot of podcast descriptions and authors are incorrect. Finally, the selection of podcasts is weirdly limited. This app has the most popular podcasts but is missing lots of smaller podcasts. All in all, a disappointing experience..Version: 2.15

Kills Your Battery LifeI used a this app for over 2 years. I liked the simplicity of the layout and design, which was why I used it for 2 years. The ads were not bad. However, I had an iPhone XR and whenever I used the app, it consumed the battery life, like 20% in a hour. I figured older phone, the battery is old. Then I got a new iPhone 14, used the app. Although, it didn’t use as much power as the old phone, I still had to charge my phone halfway through the day to make it through the day. I have just stopped using it. Love the app, hate the power consumption and the heat generated from using the app..Version: 6.43.0

No more offline usage with updated free version!Latest update is trash! Can’t listen offline anymore. Only plays part of the download (if you’re lucky) after saving. Was the best best podcast app in the store, now, not so much..Version: 6.24.1

Can’t use Apple podcast ( mmm)Since 14.6 update .. being an avid podcast listener .. how baffled was I , when using Apple podcast app my battery did quickly die. Then this app comes on the scene .. with paid subscription .. mmm . No thanks .. Apple has a duty to fix their free podcast app .. it causes my iPhone 12 Pro Max battery to lose 10 percent battery charge every 20 minutes . No I won’t buy this app ..Version: 5.11.0

Best app for podcastsGot sick of the apple app for podcasts and went in search for another. This one fits the bill perfectly. Would be nice if I could pay for the app to get rid of the ads though, maybe a future update developers? UPDATE - Doesn’t seem to work properly any more; won’t play previously played podcasts..Version: 1.3.8

No auto-play?I have used the heck out of this app and it is mostly awesome. It just has a weird quirk where podcasts don’t automatically play the next episode. It used to. I thought maybe they’d changed that in an update, but I just went back and caught up on another podcast with 4 new eps since the last time I’d listened, and those DID start right off—when one episode ended, the next one would start playing after only a second or two. Most of the time, when one episode ends, it moves to the next episode and just stops. I have to hit play for it to start loading the ep, wait a few secs for it to stop loading and say “error,” turn my wifi off and back on again, go back to the app, hit “play” again, and usually do that a few more times while I wait 5-10 min for it to download the entire episode. Then I have to go to the podcast’s page, scroll to find the last ep I’d listened to, hit play on THAT, then go to the one I just loaded and hit play on that. Then it will play. I know my connection speed is slow, but it does this when I’m connected in other locations with better speeds. I was just resigned to this weird buggy thing until I just checked up on that other podcast and it actually started playing the next ep right away without nannying and cajoling, and before it had downloaded the whole thing. Is that just happening to me?.Version: 3.20.0

AllNot my thing at all - I want to unsubscribe to apple podcast but don’t know how..Version: 3.25.0

HorribleI paid for the app and the advertisements are long and annoying. I do not recommend this app!!.Version: 5.19.0

Used to loveI used to love this app. I wrote a 5 star review and loved everything about it. In the last week though, episodes won’t download whether I’m on WiFi or cellular data. The episode looks like it’s downloading fine, then it deletes itself and the little green download circle starts all over again. And it never actually finishes downloading. This happens over and over and over until I just give up. I went over my cellular data limit (8 gb!) last month for the first time because of this issue, and I’ve sent 3 emails to support including a screen recording showing the issue as it’s happening, and no one has written back or tried to fix it. I am a paying subscriber and have plenty of storage available on my phone, and excellent internet connection, so my phone isn’t the issue. It’s a shame because I’m definitely willing to pay for an app that works, and the design of this app really is better than any other I’ve found. It’s intuitive and easy to use. But the lack of response from support and not being able to download any episodes makes this app useless for me. If anyone ever writes back or fixes this issue I will gladly change my review to 5 stars again. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but this seems to be the only way I can hopefully get the developer’s attention. 🙁.Version: 2.28.1

App seems fine, lacking featuresCan’t add my patreon url podcasts to the app without paying. Lol Cant go slower than 1x speed (a requirement for me personally) Unfortunately these two points put this behind the default free apple podcast app.Version: 6.46.0

This app eats your data!!I was really happy with it at first until I had a text saying my 5gb had gone within a few days! I don’t use my phone much but I was using this app a lot, downloading with WiFi and then listening on the go. What I didn’t realise was that it would carry on playing the stuff that wasn’t downloaded using a stupid amount of data. My friend also had this happen to her..Version: 2.18

No happy about the ads on paid versionI recently purchased the paid version as I really enjoyed the app and use it daily. I purchased the paid version to get away from ads and now I don’t have any pop up ads which is great. however I get one that talks in between podcasts and you can’t turn off or skip, you have to listen to it through to the end about a free course or something. It’s so frustrating. I think I may prefer the free version with the bugs and the pop up ads that I can X out of rather than having to listen to that ad again. Not happy Jan. Other than that the app is great..Version: 3.28.0

Needs work.It’s good but the only thing that annoys me is that when the episodes are finished they delete themselves, then you have to redownload them. Instead they should just be at the end of the episode when they’re finished so you don’t have to redownload them. Apart from that it’s a better podcast app than iTunes..Version: 2.14

Nice app but 12.99 per year for upgrade is too expensive !I like the app but adds are really annoying. To remove this adds the only option is to pay 12.99 per year for pro upgrade. I usually upgrade all my apps this your pricing is a way too expensive !!!!.Version: 2.6

Good app butIt’s a good app for podcasts BUT it takes a bit long time to open?..why Average at best.Version: 4.7.0

GarbageThey only have one joe rogan experience podcast, the only reason I would subscribe in the first place.cancel truth speaking joe Rogan get canceled.Version: 6.43.0

Great app but.....Great app, everything is better than all the other podcast apps but BIG but.... Doesn’t download. Not properly. All my apps are sitting me in a queue waiting, you have to manually tap to download. Which is a major pain!!! Seems like such a stupid, simple flaw to fix yet months ow now things been done. Have to change over to a different podcast app as it’s so frustrating!!!!.Version: 2.7

GarbageWhat a waste of time why even put it up as free if you gotta pay to even use the app in the first place..Version: 2.26.0

Great app but missing key pieceI love this app as an alternative to the Apple Podcasts stock app but I may have to switch back. The ability to cast the sound to a device is missing in this app, and as I usually play podcasts through my speakers this is super annoying to only be able to play it through my phone speakers..Version: 3.36.0

Better than Apple but lots of issuesI’ve been using this for about a year after Apple podcasts did all their stupid thing. It’s been semi-functional the entire time. They recently added a few features that I wanted to review. We now can create playlists! But there’s a lot of problems. First of all, you can’t add episodes that you’ve downloaded to any playlists. You have to go to the podcast itself and add it to the playlist there. Furthermore, you can’t add an episode from the search inside each podcast header. This is annoying if you’ve got an episode from 2018 and the podcast updated each week—lots to go through. Lastly, it doesn’t seem like you can delete playlists?!?! It wouldn’t be so frustrating if there were a user guide available. But there is no user guide. You can send an email to the developers, and they do answer pretty quickly, but sometimes I just wanna look up an answer in a Q&A or something. Also, the name of the app, “ podcasts app “, is so generic you can’t Google for answers either. The app also automatically delete episodes you’ve listen to, and there’s no way to turn that off. Why?? I can’t really complain considering it’s a free app, but some of the implementations just don’t make any sense. QA testers failed big time..Version: 6.10.0

🙄Was just considering paying for subscription but the reviews made me think again. As well as the replies “give us your Apple user name and we’ll assist immediately!” Is the wrong answer. The right answer is that plus “ we”ll stop this from happening ever again”. We sent a probe to the sun. What is so hard about designing a podcast app that works? And ads between podcasts? You’re kidding!!.Version: 5.27.0

DraculaVoice isn’t low enough. Sounds like a 12 year old upper class young boy.Version: 2.21

Updated versionUpdated version very annoying. Makes me have to click a lot more items to play. Will find another app..Version: 5.1.0

Ads that blind you at nightThe problem with this app is that on the free version they run full screen ads. So you need to close the ad…. But they have various close buttons. And you have to figure out where the close button is each time. Many people use podcasts at night, falling asleep… having to deal with this bright coloured ads when you wake up in the night is annoying, Terrible on the eyes. It’s like they don’t understand their user even on the free version. Deleted. I’ll try and get acast working again..Version: 6.18.2

Big potentialMy favorite podcast app, however a lot of room for improvement: - playback buttons are TINY. Impossible to hit play or pause from the first try especially when driving - no landscape mode. I spend a lot of time in my car and use the phone for navigation, and need to turn it to portrait mode to use the app properly - yearly subscription is way too expensive and doesn’t seem to offer valuable perks..Version: 2.17.1

Can’t turn off auto-downloadingLove this app generally but it’s taking up a lot of space on my phone and I can’t figure out how to stop the downloads - if it’s possible it needs to be easy and clear to do and if not possible, it should be..Version: 5.19.0

Used to work great, mostly....and it devours data even when it doesn’t have access to itSo here is an update to my last two reviews...a few months ago this app used all my months cellular data in the first two days of my billing cycle even when it didn’t have access to my cell data. It was supposed to only use WiFi. Well I’ve been watching and it seemed the issue was fixed....until today.....half my cell data is gone again due to this app....and my phone tracked its use of the data even when it isn’t supposed to have access to my cell data....I have no idea how that happens but I’m done with this app....the other issues from my second review listed below still exist as well....and I have deleted and reloaded the app....no help.....2nd review is below...this app used to work great with the exception of burning up all my data in two days last month. Now the app crashes and freezes all the time. Also it doesn’t seem to want to download new podcasts for future listening and many of the ones that I have already downloaded over WiFi and show available to listen to off line won’t play anymore without being connected to WiFi. When I try to download new podcasts for future use it just sits and won’t download and old ones already downloaded fail to play off line. Help..Version: 2.27.3

Underwhelming podcast appCan I view older episodes of podcasts? No. What exactly can I do with this app? Oh, I know, I should get the premium subscription to use an app, that stores all my data on my phone and doesn’t require any cloud infrastructure to run. Yep, I should really pay a monthly or yearly subscription for a really underwhelming podcast app. I don’t care about history, I just want an easy to use podcast app, happy to pay for it, that will allow me to pull down older episodes from my fav podcasts that I missed listening to months ago. I also don’t need ads and reminders to buy the premium edition constantly. Wow... I question the legitimacy of all those 5 star reviews..Version: 3.46.0

No place to cancelI want to delete it and I can’t find a place to do so..Version: 5.13.0

Saved offline doesn’t really mean offlineGenerally love the app, but a major problem is that the podcasts I’ve added to listen later and which are marked as saved offline still require an Internet connection for them to begin playing. Otherwise they simply don’t load. Would be great if this could be fixed, an otherwise 5 star app.Version: 2.16

MisleadingThis app appears to be a free download but after going through the “create new account “ process it offers 7 days free but “cancel any time.” Any app that plays that game gets deleted off my phone..Version: 3.14.0

Potential, but not there yetPodcast app has potential, but is not there yet. I’m not sure why the developers would even release this app without a “settings” option and you can just imagine how many features and customizations are missing because of this. The app needs settings, volume boost, full customization for home screen, grid change / icon display options for home screen, settings for steaming / download, and login to remember your settings. Overcast just blows Podcast app out of the water and will probably continue to do so when the newer redesigns come out. Not to mention that the developers are not participating in replying directly to most of the reviews and many emails have gone completely unanswered from other users (although developers maintain is because they were busy on a project) . The nail in the coffin is that Podcast app appears to charge you for both your iPhone and iPad device when it’s included with Overcast for one price, not two..Version: 2.26.4

Ads are dangerous, these developers are psychosI think most people can agree that although staying off your phone while driving should be done 100% of the time, there will be the once in a while where you have to tap a slip or pause button while on the road. If you're driving and you need to hit one button in the app, you expect it to be a 2 second procedure, yet it is not, because as soon as you interact with the app after not doing so for more than 5-10 minutes, you will be harassed with 10 second ads that are purposely hard to close out of, and purposely put in places that are the most distracting (going to your listen later will prompt it, as well as going to your currently playing podcast, aka the 2 most used functions while listening). I then have to pullover to do what originally should have been, again, a 2 second procedure at most. Many people who are more impulsive will not pull over, and instead will probably battle with the ads with their hand still on the steering wheel, and these developers know this. They know they are creating an absolute road hazard with where they place these ads and what they look like and it's extremely disheartening to see no regard for safety or their users to this degree. You don't deserve to have an app this functional/useful to so many people, you are not responsible with the power..Version: 6.49.0

DisappointedI would have previously rated this app a 5 but the last few days it won’t let me access it, keeps bringing up the premium which I don’t want to pay for. And then has everything blank can’t access anything..Version: 6.36.0

Podcasts can be so ridiculously boringNot my thing, I can do sooo much more with my time then listen to something like this and this goes for many categories that I have interest in. Not for me.Version: 6.31.0

Not very user friendlyI love using this app but feel like it would be nice to have the option on the app to more easily get to the last listened to podcast from each “show”. I find that every time i go back into the app i need to search for the show i want to go back to which is fine, but then i have to scroll and scroll to find the last episode I listened to.Version: 2.28.6

Appears to require a paid subscription, but…When you first open the app it appears to be a one week trial and then you are enrolled in their $45 / year renewal fees. However the developer pointed out that there is a light grey X to close that window in the upper corner of the screen. Not too impressed that it seems a little sneaky. I may update this review again later as I have more time using the app..Version: 6.36.0

Joe RoganMore.Version: 6.21.0

Private RSS Feed Doesn’t WorkCan’t add any of my Patreon feeds due to an internal service error. Contacted the app and they were not helpful. The first 3 emails were the same rep telling me to try things I’d already tried and stated I’d tried in my initial email to get past this. The 4th email was a link to error reporting after which they ghosted me. I sent 4 follow ups (not during the holidays but during the weeks surrounding them) and they ignored all of them. My last one was “waiting on my refund” after which they responded and directed me to contact apple. They did not fix my problem and that made the app pretty useless for me. Shame, it’s a really pretty app and I think I would’ve gotten a lot out of it had the main reason I subscribed not been a dumpster fire..Version: 6.38.1

Annoying interface and lack of optionsControls are tiny on iPad, no option to turn off auto play which seems to pick podcasts at random and keeps playing already completed podcasts. Interface is really not good but it does at least show podcast notes which few other do without multiple clicks. Plays fine once the right one is loaded..Version: 3.38.0

Not the Podcasts appHow Apple let this by them I’ll never know. The native podcast app is actually free, and sorry but this ads nothing apart from ads or an overpriced sub. Paying for this would be madness. It would seem this app‘a real purpose is to capture suckers who mistake it for the the native app. If you want a decent podcast app, get Overcast or Castro, both are innovative indie apps that do what this can’t, add to the user experience..Version: 5.14.0

“Error”I have loved this app for so long but this issue has been constant throughout and I’ve finally met my wits end with it. I’m not sure if it’s my data connection or what, but I can’t get an episode to load over half the time. An “Error” message just pops up after several minutes of waiting for the episode to load. I have to close the app and restart it. Most of the time that doesn’t work. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it to no avail. I’ve deleted it, updated my phone, reinstalled it and still get the same message. Nothing seems to help and it’s not getting any better. I listen to podcasts while I’m driving and my favorite feature of this app was that it auto played the next episode. But with this issue, I’m having to mess with my phone while I’m driving and, at this point, it’s more of a hazard than anything. So, In order to save my own life, I’m deleting it for good..Version: 3.19.0

Private URL feed does not work& if charged the full amount right away even though it said 7 days free trial. Misleading and faulty!.Version: 6.21.0

Review on appPoor and hard to work.Version: 2.28.6

No offline listening = No use to meHow do I download for offline listening? No time to research how to use your app. Deleted..Version: 1.3.8

GarbageRidiculous full screen ads and an insane annual subscription price. Uninstalled..Version: 3.11.0

Started out goodThis has been my go to Podcatcher for a few years now, but it has only started going down hill, and previous complaints were fixed for a short time but have resorted back. The search bar is almost useless when looking for specific topics. It works fine when looking for a certain Pod or Show, but when just looking up a broad topic like “NBA” it will show me episodes and shows from years ago, and doesn’t give a filter or sort option. It has also stopped uploading episodes to podcasts that I listen to everyday. I love sports radio, and the ones I listen to upload everyday and I have to go over to Apple Podcasts because this app just doesn’t upload them anymore. Last episode they uploaded was from February. There’s also no refresh feature to get Podcasts that are uploaded on the day, so you just have to get lucky and hope the app does it on its own and uploads. I’ve waited a few hours for a show that uploads at 12pm everyday..Version: 6.47.0

It starts nice, and then!You think it’s great at first but then you realize it has glitch and it reloads out of nowhere turning off your podcast.Version: 6.26.1

What happened?I used to love this app to listen to my many podcasts. However in the recent months in order for my app to even open I have to reload 6, 7, 8 times and sometimes that still doesn’t work. Everything has slowed down and when I finally get a podcast to stream it often shuts down and exits the app and I have to start all over. What happened to this once reliable, fabulous app?.Version: 5.13.0

Bait and switchLooked for specific content, I found it on this app. Once I signed up, it turned out they only had one episode and no more. When I found out I asked for a refund as it was the only content I was interested in. Their response didn’t even address my ask, they told me what I already knew, that they only had one episode and that’s that. Seems like a money grab from an organization that doesn’t care about their customers..Version: 6.23.0

Ads with sounds- on top of of the podcastI changed my podcast to this because I read in an article that it was the best app for podcasts... it has ads (specially casino games apps WITH SOUND) that overplays the podcast. I can get confused every time wondering why my podcaster sound like they’re in a casino. I understand that ads are important, but ones with sound defeat the purpose of the app..Version: 2.6

The premium version COULD have been so greatTo show how much i wanted to like this app, i will admit it is the only app I’ve ever paid for the premium version of. Ever. Unfortunately it didn’t work out well for me in the long run. For starters, what has irked me all along is that it won’t let users add episodes to “listen later” without downloading them to the user’s device. Unskilled developers can’t just implement a “bookmark” of some sort I guess? They force user to download everything to the user’s device (with minimal use, it’s well over a GB and won’t let the user clean them up!) Since this is an issue cited by multiple users, I always thought it would be addressed by one of the utterly massive amount of endless updates...but no matter how many of these faux “updates” they do they’v never ever fixed any problems I have, not a one. I have no other way to think at this point than to assume the app is just trying to gobble up my device’s space as fast as it can in any way possible. Don’t want to download 1-2 updates every WEEK? Well then the app will lag for literal minutes waiting for an episode to play. This app only gets worse and worse. Never once being improved by the fifty+ “updates” it’s had since I’ve installed it. Do better..Version: 3.0.4

Kiss your battery good bye.Man this think murders my iPhone X battery. I like to listen to podcasts all day while I work and most days my battery is below %20 at the end of my shift. I can listen to Spotify all day long and still have lots of battery left. You guys need to fix this..Version: 6.10.0

Wtf happened...After the last update? Favorites disappeared, app unresponsive etc etc Disaster! Switching to another app..Version: 3.31.0
