Playapod for Negative User Reviews

✓ Love it- but want to love it Moore!TMSoft always does such great fun useful things, and when I saw this I was so excited. Long time TMOS listener so know it’s quality. Some things I need to figure out still. I try to download several episodes at a time while I do other things at home. Often I ask the app to do this and when I come back there are error messages (or not) and nothing is downloaded. I’ll be in my car going to work and find there is nothing there. Need to figure out how to keep this app “on top” so when I click my ear buds it’s there. Often times it resets meaning I have to reopen the app, make a couple of clicks, and then play my podcast. Especially a problem when exercising, running, and driving. A couple of times now the podcast does not resume where I left off, but several minutes prior meaning repeated content. Not a huge problem, but shouldn’t happen. Since getting this app I have seen great responses and updates to improve the experience, and look forward to more Moore!.MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMe999Version: 1.3

✓ No silent skip or vocal boostDecent podcast app. Would be better if it had features other podcast apps have had, for awhile. Such as: silence skip and vocal boost. After using silent skip and vocal boost, it is hard to use an app without them..AdulgoVersion: 2.0.3

✓ Needs to louder volumeI love the fact that this app uses the free and open podcast index however it’s missing many features I’m used to coming from pocketcast. It needs the ability to double the volume of the audio on all the podcasts. Volume normalization needs to be added. Also it would be nice if I could mark some podcasts to be placed at the top of the queue. Speaking of queues the app at times looses its queue especially when I reorganize my playlist. I don’t care about playlists or clips or sharing I just want what’s playing next to be in a certain order and the episodes loud enough to hear them in a noisy room..JohnnyK909Version: 2.4.5

✓ Version 2 - lost new episodesI really liked version 1.4.5, but for some reason they took away my favorite feature. The new episodes available allowed me to choose whether or not I want to download a podcast. Now I need to look at each subscription and determine whether a new episode exists and then open it up to download. Computers are supposed to make things easier, not harder....DR ForbushVersion: 2.0

✓ NOT AD FREEAnother lying scum developer, claiming their product is ad free. It most certainly is not ad free. Lying scum..SeriesboyVersion: 2.4.9

✓ No Streaming?????I used the tmos and boad app that are powered by playapod and I hate it because half of the time the downloads fail and without a stream option i am left refreshing and trying to Re download over and over again Todd...... fix it please..GarrettksVersion: 1.3.3

✓ So close to perfect… but buggyFor those of us scouring the App Store for a free—and ad-free—podcast app to replace our phone’s default app, Playapod seems perfect. No ads, lots of customization, and pretty easy to navigate after using the app for a bit. But there are some serious bugs. The Play Next feature works spottily at best on the main playlist. Most of the time, an episode ends, and then silence. The next episode in the playlist doesn’t start. I listen to podcasts on lengthy commutes, so this is basically a dealbreaker. Also, the app marks episodes as “listened” even when there are several minutes left. This can preemptively remove those episodes from the playlist, resulting in the same problem above: an episode ends, and the next one doesn’t start until I manually open the app and select it from the playlist. I really thought Playapod was the holy grail podcatcher I’d been searching for, but probably not if basic playlist functionality is broken. Devs, fix these bugs!.Lfo3profVersion: 2.4.9

✓ Finally had to delete PlayapodWhere do I begin? Playapod has issues saving your progress, saving your playlist, continuing play on a playlist, downloading new episodes, deleting old episodes, resuming play on wired, Bluetooth and hands free devices, requires me to press play twice every time I need to resume play...In other words; stick with the stock podcasts app. For all of its flaws, it still can’t hold a candle to this buggy mess..PhoenixLives1635Version: 1.4.5

✓ Good features but buggyI really wanted a podcast app with bookmarks, since I like to fall asleep listening to them and wanted to be able to bookmark my spot. This does have a sleep timer and bookmarks, which is great. However, the interface is clunky and there are some glitches. It doesn’t work well with the controls on my Bluetooth earbuds - they’ve worked fine with everything else, but when I push play/pause the podcast will play, but pause doesn’t work. However when I open the app, it thinks it’s paused, and hitting play again makes the podcast start over at the point where I originally started listening when I first opened the app..MollyCampbell14Version: 1.4.5

✓ I want to love it, but...I downloaded this because it had multi device syncing. I want to love this so bad, but it seems to me like it could use a bit more work first. Episodes were downloading multiple times and there was a timer before they would delete that couldn’t be altered. The playlist doesn’t loop so if you jumped anywhere in the list it wouldnt start again at the top and look for I played episodes when done. I think there’s potential but for me it’s not ready to be my primary podcasting app..AltcatredVersion: 1.4.2

Playapod works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Playapod.
