Where was this app all my life?!

4723957 on

Singapore

I looked at several alternatives to Google Podcasts before I stumbled on this excellent app. I love the depth of all the features. And best of all - no ads! Amazing app, thanks devs!

About 60% of the time, the trim silence feature is not working

Constantly forgets where I was up to

My-Favourite-Ap 111 on

Singapore

Such a frustrating ap. Regularly loses my place. I am deep into it as have a library built up, so it’s incredibly frustrating. Contacted the company about this issue but they were totally unhelpful. Don’t use it!

Take too long to load

ThangPQ93 on

Singapore

I’m based in Singapore with one of fastest home internet connections in the world, but it takes nearly 10 seconds to start playing an episode

Waiting for offline Apple Watch playback

Tiffany Ledasha on

Singapore

I’ve been using this for 3 years, or more. I’m well invested into this app. To change now is... inconvenient. Other podcasts app have the ability to download and store podcasts on the Watch, but not this one. They thought it was something people wouldn’t use. So, I’m waiting for the day there’s the ability to play directly from the Apple Watch.

Best Podcasts App

Vaishnav Kasi on

Singapore

One and only podcast app i have been using for the last 2+ years. Very reliable with constant updates (Update Notes are something to look forward to) and worth the money. Good to see their move into subscription model.

Unscrupulous developers

Corentin Dreadlocks on

Singapore

Shameless switching to Freemium model, and bringing back old features as a new "plus feature".

Buggy

davidlyj on

Singapore

so many bugs it’s unreal.. really disappointed with this app after listening to a few youtubers’ recommendation to get it. not worth the money.. just use spotify/ apple podcasts..

Where did my option to create playback lists go?

asaseli7 on

Singapore

Update. Back to 5 stars. Found it 😁. Just long press the play button on any episode in one of your filters and select play all from here. Great app! Love the app and use it daily. However giving it a three star as the latest update made one of my favorite features disappear. I used to be able to play all episodes of a custom created filter in one go but hitting that option in the top right corner. Where is this option now?

This latest version is awful

valcrist.com on

Singapore

I used to love this app, but this latest version is the worst. The UI/UX is awful and unintuitive. Now you also need to dig into the settings just to re enable downloads. And before, you can quickly add to playlists, now you can’t do that. You need to swipe and add one by one. And did I mention it’ll now stop after every podcast instead of starting the next one in queue?
