The Confessionals

Tony really takes the time and delivers a top notch show from the intro music to outro music. Not too much fluff. His guest encounters are entertaining well spoken and the show is just grade A binge material. I’m hooked!

Tony Merkel up there with the elite. The top of the top. His hosting skills are phenomenal, and his production value is unmatched. Just be prepared… this app will knock ur d!ck off. If you enjoy the strange and mysterious then The Confessionals Podcast is a must. Period.

I absolutely love the podcast and ran out of free shows to listen to so I bought membership. The app has so many issues on iOS. Love the lay out of it but I can't even get an episode to play 95% of the time.

I love this podcast. The app can be difficult to listen to episodes. Not sure why the episodes do not want to play where you left off or allow you to go from one to the other!

The podcast is dope-he’s one of the best. The app itself is quality, but wish it did a few things. They don’t have a search function., haven’t found a way to do an index search of a topic or word in title. Also, I want to be able to toggle back and forth from the epi chat to the episode index. You have to scroll to episode 319 from the newest episodes. No way to type and skip through them all.

The app is ok but lacks functions one would find podcast apps. 1. Doesn’t integrate with CarPlay. Now phone use in cars is becoming a traffic offense apps need to consider this a core feature. Without it’s unusable while driving. 2. Can’t read episode titles. They’re cut off. So unless you know the number and first word you can’t figure it out. 3. Fast forward reverse. Most apps give you 5 sec 10 sec or 15 sec burst advances of reverse. Not here 4. Remember where you function works sometimes. 5 Scrolling an episode is difficult. I believe the episodes technically are steaming via the app which is why there’s a delay. Either way this feature doesn’t work well.

And the app is comprehensive, but it is still very clunky. I am using on an iPhone, and even when I download episodes to my phone, the app still looks for cellular data to play the downloaded episodes. The controllers on my headphones also don’t appear to control the app. It would really be great to have a private feed that goes to Spotify or iTunes for members only. Other podcasts I subscribe to have some thing like that where the ad free episodes show up under the private feed. It really would be much more convenient because I subscribe to get the bonus content and to not have to listen to ads, but it defeats the purpose when I can’t download episodes to listen in airplane mode.

Love the show, app works about 40% of the time.

Friends, kinda defeats the point if your app is glitchy and won’t let me log in! I did password reset and all, got the email, inputed the code + my new password + password confirmation (which met all requirements), went back to login, and it STILL said failed login. Oh and then it locked me out for five failed attempts. 🤦🏻‍♀️

App is new so bugs and set backs to be expected, but it’s a great app and they are quick to respond to any issues I’ve had! Love this show and I recommend to everyone!
