Podcast Republic - Podcast App

Endlich ist er auch auf iOS verfügbar! Und trotz der Kinderkrankheiten bleibe ich positiv!! 🤩 >>Update 1: Leider funktioniert das Abspielen im Hintergrund (Bildschirmsperre) noch sehr unzuverlässig. Bitte in die Roadmap aufnehmen. Daher aktuell 1* Abzug notwendig >> Update 2: Was auch noch nicht funktioniert: In angelegten Playlists erfolgt KEINE AKTUALISIERUNG, egal, ob automatisch oder manuell zur Aktualisierung aufgefordert wird. Im Einzelpodcast ja, in Playlists nein. Leider auch hier dann -1* >> Verbesserungsvorschlag: Ich vermisse eine "Morgenroutine", sprich: ich habe die Angewohnheit morgens einen festen Ablauf an Podcasts mit je der neuesten Meldung (hier Nachrichten) abzurufen. Diese Funktion zu implementieren wäre die Kirsche 🍒 auf der 🎂. ;) Trotz allem, ich bin sehr froh, dass ihr endlich auch auf iOS verfügbar seid! <Vielen Dank ans Entwicklerteam> -------------- Finally it is available on iOS too! And despite the teething issues, I remain positive!! 🤩 >>Update 1: Unfortunately, playing in the background (screen lock) is still very unreliable. Please include it in the roadmap. Therefore 1* deduction is currently necessary >> Update 2: What is also not working: There is NO UPDATE in created playlists, regardless of whether the update is requested automatically or manually. In individual podcasts, yes, in playlists, no. >> Suggestion for improvement: I miss a "morning routine", i.e. I have the habit of calling up a fixed sequence of podcasts in the morning with the latest announcement (here, news). Implementing this function would be the icing 🍒 on the cake 🎂. ;) Despite everything, I am very happy that you are finally available on iOS too! <Many thanks to the development team>

Aplikaci používám již spoustu let na Androidu. Jsem nadšený, že přišla i na systém s iOS. Hned jsem jí tam nainstaloval. Vše funguje jak má. Ještě bych uvítal aplikaci pro Windows.

there are some bugs in the graphical user interface. I would like to buy the app but please fix the errors first. So it's just hard to use.

The best podcast I’ve found. A well designed app for podcast listeners. It has many options to customize your listening experience. You can make playlists for routines if you listen to certain podcasts regularly. You can prioritize your podcasts, organize them by tagging. Well done!

This app has potential to be the best podcast player out there. The only thing it is so buggy. The dev is active and updates the app but this is my third shot with this app and I drew the same conclusion. I have to move because it’s too buggy

I have been using Podcast Republic for years, previously in Android, and in iOS since March. Since I moved to iOS, I am finding that the app is quite buggy: it shuts down in the middle of episodes; when I resume playing, it starts the episode over and then suddenly “remembers” where I left off; and it often won’t work when I try to use the widget controls, forcing me to open the app and refresh it. These issues have not been resolved with any of the recent updates, including today’s update. This app needs better support with more consistent updates.

So I have had several podcast apps and while the last one I liked quiet a bit this one surpasses them all. It has all the features I want and has a great UI. This is the app for ALL your podcasting needs

I used the app for less than a week. Audio and expected features are okay, not very user-friendly. I’m deleting it because of suspicious activity on my phone. Ever since I installed it, I got frequent “In-app purchases not allowed” alerts: every time I started the app fresh and several times when it wasn’t even open. After deleting it? No such problems. I’m glad I had purchases disabled because who knows what was being attempted. Be cautious.

Question, are podcasts a cutting edge technology? Does it require top tier military expert experience do make a wrapper that caches an RSS feed and streams audio content? I mean its 2024 and I know podcasts are a new concept thats still in its infancy but, actually the opposite is true. So why in the heck, has it been just borderline impossible to just find a simple podcast player that doesnt have more problems, errors and crashes than even the most advanced, bloated and heavy apps that I have tried in the past? With the way my iphone gets alarmingly hot to the touch within seconds of clicking a single pod episode to stream, you'd think theres some extremely heavy lifting going on in the background. Yet i can open safari, goto youtube, and actually load and play a high quality video, and even have it in pip in background while working in any other app, and my phone stays at optimal temperature, no issues. If i attempt that while listening to audio pod on this app, the audio slows, stutters, clicks etc every time i perform an action on phone while in background. I asked around when I first was using overcast and it started behaving strangly, and everyone online told me i needed to be using an app off the "modern podcast player list" and it looked like a well curated list. I have no idea what significance the list has, to me it seems like literally all the worst of the worst podcast player apps. Many of them, like this one, doesnt even have all the features they advertise. And when you ask about it, they just say those features will be in a future update. This app btw only updates 3 or 4 times a year. 😑 Im truly asking, what is this app doing all the time in the background? Why do i have to periodically go into settings and delete the cache? Why, even though i have ALL downloading features disabled, but if i let it play a few hours of pods without clearing cache, i get a notifications of my phone storage being full, and i look and the catch is at like 3gb! Im not even exaggerating, and this is when the 'downloads' section is still empty as it always has been. Even if i had downloaded HQ versions of 3 hour pod, it shouldn't be 3.2gb of data. My data usage on tmobile was over 160gb last month, and i looked at app data usage, 120gb of it was this app alone. Why? What's happening here?
