## Downcast Reviews in Switzerland

### ***** "Manual Pin"
To just quickly pin a show to the top would be an amazing feature! Keep it up!
-- mirahotel, 2024-08-19

### *---- "No refund"
I’m looking for a specific feature: search for podcasts in foreign language. No description about this so I tried it. This feature is unfortunately not available. So I wanted to return the app after 5 min but it did not allow to refund. That’s not ok!
-- Double again and again, 2022-06-12

### ***** "Using this for years now, never had an issue"
I don’t know when I first downloaded this, must have been ages ago. Of course I tried others, always came back to this one. Support is great, too!
-- Miesmacher, 2020-11-17

### ***** "A key App to manage Podcasts on Mac, iPhones & iPads"
As Apple destroyed Podcasts mgmt in the transition from Mojave to Catalina, I found Downcast as the only solution to listen Podcasts on ALL my Apple computers and devices while allowing me to manage my Podcasts the way I want, not the paternalistic way Apple want you to follow and to be able to save episodes I want to keep in properly organized folders.

Personal message to the Developer: Thank you so much for your apps, please make it a recurring paid app, I am ready to pay you every year on all my devices to be sure you continue to support it.
-- mjaminian, 2020-11-12

### ****- "Playlist"
Hi,
I want to move a Podcast from one playlist to another. I doesn‘t do it anymore. Please fix it.
Thx
-- Sn00py59, 2020-11-01

### **--- "Nervig"
Das hier wäre eigentlich keine schlechte App, meiner Meinung nach aber viel zu viele Features und dementsprechend komplex in der Konfiguration. Irgendwie scheine ich mit der Konfiguration auch etwas falsch zu machen. Immer wenn ich unterwegs bin und Podcasts hören will, spielt der Podcast bis in die Hälfte und dann kommt eine Fehlermeldung. Das ist mir nun immer wieder passiert und ehrlich gesagt nervt das tierisch. Ich hätte lieber weniger Features und dafür eine App die das macht was sie soll, Podcasts herunterladen und abspielen. Ich werde mich mal umschauen was es sonst noch so gibt, denn diese App nervt einfach zu heftig.
-- Fischer_from_CH, 2020-08-07

### *---- "feature rich...but (to be honest) ugly"
yeah...many many features - 99% happy with this. 

features missing: 
- remove played downloaded episodes after a period of time (like 24h).
- ordering/grouping of podcast-episodes should be improved especially in playlists.

UI/UX:
- (1 star) really ugly - many duplicate functions and not so easy understandable icon-set
- overloaded main screen
- bad usage of gestures
- no support of keyboard shortcuts

missing apple-tv version

But I very like (that is the main reason for using it):
MAC - APP exists (also not a beauty contest winner) but it works.
-- Iiuijd, 2020-07-19

### ***** "Simply the best!"
Bester Podcast–Player, den ich bislang im Store fand. Ist dem vorinstallierten Apple–Player in Sachen Funktionsumfang und Bedienung weit überlegen. Dass die App nur in englischer Sprache vorliegt, ist kein Nachteil, da die Menüpunkte selbsterklärend sind.
-- Seltener Bewertungsschreiber, 2020-07-04

### ***** "Very intuitive and works flawlessly"
I’ve been using Downcast for years and have always been very satisfied with its ease of use. It does everything I need it to do intuitively and it works flawlessly for me. Just recently I bought a new iPhone and decided I would try using the Apple Podcasts app that comes with iOS. Maybe it’s just me, but I found the experience confusing and unintuitive - too many bells and whistles for my taste. Within two days I switched back to Downcast. Downcast is a great app. As a person who listens to a lot of podcasts I highly recommend it.
-- pitztop, 2018-12-07

### *---- "Not with chromecast"
Chromecast connection does not work
-- bbwun, 2018-08-10

### ****- "AppleTV"
Please add AppleTV version
-- RomanKeller.ch, 2018-04-05

### *---- "Immer schlechter"
Leider funktioniert playback option video nicht mehr. Auch bild in bild hat früher gut funktioniert-
-- Enttäuschter User-2013, 2018-03-27

### ***** "5* gibts nicht wirklich..."
...aber trotzdem eine super App. Sehr empfehlenswert 👍
-- Elefaentli, 2017-12-28

### **--- "Pas génial."
La synchronisation avec l’application mac ne fonctionne pas bien.
Support absent.
Impossible de classer les podcasts reçu dans l’ordre chronologique ou l’ordre inverse.
Pour accéder au dernier épisode il faut faire défiler tous les anciens épisodes avant. Et cela à chaque fois...
-- Versus Angels, 2017-11-15

### ***** "love it"
reliable app that allows seamless listening to playlists that are smoothly updated
-- CH-Jenka, 2016-05-04

### ***** "Pip wishl"
The app is great👍, the new picture in picture support is phantastic! 💪I left a tip! Please do something for Android😀
-- User2010-ch, 2016-04-16

### **--- "Used to be the best Podcast Player"
Again cloud sync is not working. This app used to be the best Podcast player. At some point the developer started to change everything and now we have a new release every few days. And every time they fix something, something else is broken again and again. Obviously they do not have a regression test concept which works.It is not enough that something looks like. It should also work!
-- Werner Wider, 2016-01-25

### ***** "Gute Podcast App"
Da ich mit der Apple Podcast App Probleme hatte, suchte ich eine Alternative. Mit Downcast bin ich sehr zufrieden, die App macht genau was man erwartet.
-- highubilder ch, 2016-01-21

### **--- "Was great until last release"
Great app, but crashes a lot since last version from mid November...
-- Ritom, 2015-11-17

### ***-- "Useless Update"
I am very unhappy to see that this update doesn't support picture in picture. This is something that would be really helpful for podcasting lectures. Please add it.
