Disappointing that there’s no sign of this being fixed -- poet/tree, 2024-10-31 ### *---- "Always crashes" I’ve used this for years but in the last few months it keeps crashing on me and it’s frustrating. 10 times today already. -- Shotgun79, 2019-10-03 ### ***** "Great" Used a few different podcast apps and this is by far the best -- ronyron, 2019-09-17 ### ***** "Best Podcast App out there" Use this every day, does everything I want and I've tried many on iOS. Easy to use, nice UI (even has a recent touch up) and stable. Highly recommended -- parrotbait, 2017-12-31 ### ***** "Most used app" I use this app on a daily basis and have done so for the past year or so. I find the automatic download function incredibly easy to set up and use, any podcast i've searched for has always been there and the option to have individual settings per podcast is brilliant! I've seen complaints about the sync function, but as I only listen on my iPhone i've never really experienced it, however every other function works perfectly. Easily the best purchase i've made on the app store! -- This Username is taken like, 2017-06-10 ### *---- "JUNK" Dont "WASTE" your hard earned money on this app 👎🏼 Buy the very best podcast app, and its called ( Pocket Casts ) by Shifty Jelly -- Jnoelob, 2016-10-15 ### *---- "Terrible" Crashes more than a blind taxi driver -- that0guy, 2016-06-19 ### ***** "One of my favorite apps" I heard about downcast when listening to macbreak weekly a couple of years back. I had been struggling with the built in podcast app and at the time it offered a better solution. Constant updates means it keeps getting better. The guys even made a playback speed change after I sent them a tweet. Lots of nice features. I use almost every day. -- joewat, 2016-03-11 ### ***** "downcast" my go-to app for podcasts for more than a year . high " just works " factor . keep up the good work -- ttol irl, 2015-12-03 ### ***** "Life saver" Been using this app. For about 2years now, it's easy to use, has all the advanced tools one might need, and best of all it "works" Brian -- Lift boy irl, 2015-11-14 ### **--- "Used to be excellent" It's now completely broken and doesn't work on any of my iOS devices. It was a five star app and I'm giving it two stars based solely on nostalgia for the days when it used to work, really well. On current performance it's not worthy of any rating whatsoever because it's not fit for purpose. -- Melingo, 2015-05-10 ### ***** "Superb !!! Revolutionary." There are few apps that significantly change how one interacts with and uses IT and digital content/media. This is one of them. I listen to up to 2 hrs of podcasting each weekday, and managing my feeds was time-consuming; but not anymore. No more turning on and connecting to the home desktop PC. No more listening to podcasts that are more than a day old and dated (news, sports). It is far more useable than the Apple Podcasts app: the playlists functionality is far superior, and the ability to have specific settings for each podcast or playlist, such as speed, volume, continuous play, speed, priority setting, to name but a few. I LOVE IT !! ps I have not been paid to write this review; I really mean every word! -- Barcode Bob, 2015-05-07 ### ****- "Good podcast app" I recently switched from Instacast to Downcast and I'm pretty impressed with it. The interface is really attractive, the way it implements episode descriptions, links and pictures etc is pretty good. There's a lot of options in the actual player (sleep timer, scrubbing speeds) but it's designed in a way that doesn't seem too cluttered and there's a million different settings you can mess with to adjust the app to the way you want it. The only negative thing I'd say about it is that the playlist section isn't that good. You can't put specific episodes into a playlist, just specific podcasts. So if you have two episodes of a particular podcast you have to add both instead just the one you want. Overall, if you're a big podcast listener like I am; Downcast is pretty much a a perfect choice. But then again, I'd say the same about Instacast; however this app is cheaper and has more settings to tinker with. -- NightwingDiddles, 2014-06-07 ### ***** "Excellent" Probably the best podcast app. One of those apps that I couldn't live without! -- dave-n22, 2014-04-20 ### ***** "Great app" By far the app of it's type. -- BohsJohnny, 2014-04-17 ### ***** "Excellent" I rarely rate apps, but this is really well thought out, with every detail covered. A pleasure to use. Hats off to developers and designers, a really excellent job. -- hannonjohn, 2014-03-12 ### *---- "Regret wasting money on it." Disappointing to say the least. Imported manual podcasts are all given a new publishing date of the time of import, which messes up any attempt to sort the podcasts logically. I have been in contact with support who advised me the specific tags which Downcast uses for its 'published' date but the answer was not accurate as filling in these tags made no difference. Extremely annoying. This has been a waste of money, to be honest. -- nickobject, 2014-03-09 ### ***** "Best podcast app by far!!" One of two apps that will stop me ever leaving IOS.. -- GaryFarnan, 2014-02-06 ### *---- "Buggiest app on my iPhone" I have waited through several versions of this app but the most consistent "feature" is that it always crashes a lot. This is a shame as it's otherwise quite a good app. Update: it doesn't crash as much now but the app now doesn't update podcasts automatically. Pretty pointless for a podcast app. AVOID -- HuntingBears01, 2013-11-29 ### ***** "Great app!" Best app on my phone use it all the time great design! -- Phil G 1991, 2013-09-27 [View all Downcast reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Downcast In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Encouraging Tip | €2.99 | | Galvanizing Tip | €9.99 | | Inspiring Tip | €12.99 | | Motivating Tip | €6.99 | ## Downcast Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Argentina | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Singapore | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Germany | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Philippines | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Israel | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Belgium | News | #1 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | News | #1 | | Top Paid | South Africa | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Portugal | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Mexico | News | #1 | | Top Paid | Czechia | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Romania | News | #2 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Ireland | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Norway | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Hungary | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Russia | News | #2 | | Top Paid | Chile | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Azerbaijan | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Finland | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Brazil | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Colombia | News | #3 | | Top Paid | United States | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Sweden | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Belarus | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Thailand | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Denmark | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Saudi Arabia | News | #3 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Spain | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | News | #4 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Peru | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Austria | News | #4 | | Top Paid | Australia | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | News | #5 | | Top Paid | India | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Poland | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Greece | News | #5 | | Top Paid | South Korea | News | #5 | | Top Paid | Egypt | News | #6 | | Top Paid | France | News | #6 | | Top Paid | Canada | News | #7 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | News | #7 | | Top Paid | Algeria | News | #7 | | Top Paid | Japan | News | #8 | | Top Paid | Italy | News | #9 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Overall | #26 | | Top Grossing | New Zealand | News | #38 | | Top Grossing | Russia | News | #52 | | Top Grossing | Algeria | News | #64 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Overall | #68 | | Top Grossing | Belarus | News | #73 | | Top Grossing | Azerbaijan | News | #77 | | Top Grossing | Mexico | News | #79 | | Top Grossing | Ireland | News | #97 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Overall | #119 | | Top Paid | Germany | Overall | #203 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Overall | #291 | | Top Paid | Finland | Overall | #355 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Overall | #378 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Overall | #422 | | Top Paid | United States | Overall | #430 | | Top Paid | Israel | Overall | #443 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Overall | #483 | | Top Paid | Norway | Overall | #490 | ## Downcast Discovered Keywords -
