I can’t open the app without bluegrass music playing?! Weird app upgrade and makes it completely unusable
I have reported the problem in the last review, the creator replied calling Castbox a game. Clearly the “creators” don’t know what their own app is….
Why is it no longer possible to “batch display” all of the episodes? There’s over 4000 of the show I favour and before the update we could see them in batches of a few hundred, rather than having to scroll through every episode individually! Surely update should improve user experience, jot make it too frustrating to use at all?!? Not happy and will search elsewhere
The best free podcast app with the lightest touch of advertisements
Best app for listening to podcasts. Thanks
Every time I open the Castbox app there’s a really annoying noise running in the background - drums and music - as if there’s an ad running in the background. it keeps playing during the playback of podcasts that I’ve added to my playlist. The only way I can stop it is to force stop the app but it randomly starts again during playback. It’s REALLY ANNOYING and is making the app basically unusable. :-( (ps tried to raise a ticket in the app and kept getting an error message. Lost the will to live)
I fully appreciate that the free version needs adverts to support the app. Like others I have noticed the frequency of adverts has increased and the ‘x’ button takes longer to appear and it is sized and placed to almost force you to indicate that you are interested in the app. I understand that this is the way of the world with an advert supported free app. But today the app is playing a constant loop of a video game audio OVER the sound of the audio of the podcast (without the screen being shown to cancel the advert) rendering the app unusable on my iPad. Will monitor for a while and will consider making a note of where I am in my podcast library and moving to another service. Really poor.
Love the set up and works well for me. The tabs on the bottom work work great. I can favourite the podcasts shows I enjoy. Also, the home page lets you explore new content everyday.
Used to think this was the best podcast app, but now many podcasts have appeared and I am subscribed. I don’t want to be so I remove them and they have reappeared. Don’t know what’s going on deleting the app
Update: This app just keeps getting worse. Now, everytime I open the app, I get a fullscreen ad for a podcast Ive never heard of or have listened to anything remotely related to. The X to close it is so far in the top right its barely visable. I know you want us all to subscribe to the paid version but this is convincing me to leave the app. I used to love this app. It was my go to for podcasts but there are so many ads all of a sudden. Everytime I open the app or select a new podcast I get ads I have to wait to close. If this gets any worse Ill be leaving this app in the bin Update: ads have become even more frequent. So close to finding another app to listen to the few podcasts I listen to. Not only do I get ads as before, I now get ads in the episodes. Are you trying to drive people away? If I could give zero stars I would😡
