Stitcher for Podcasts

For weeks now search is not working, discover is not working … I’ve addressed it in multiple places but no one responded… I really like the app but at this point it becomes almost unusable…

The newest update is awful. It's much harder to use than it was before. I can't arrange a playlist the way I want to, it doesn't allow me to arrange my downloads by show, and the start page is cumbersome. If I hadn't already paid for a year's subscription, I'd back out.

Another example of how to butcher a good app through sloppy redesign... Useful/essential features are gone (on/off switch for continuous playback of episodes), navigation is now more complicated for no reason (tiny icons, unnecessary reposition of features), user settings (favorite shows & played) are scrambled/lost and new features are implemented halfheartedly (new grouping function with no way to edit the order of the groups). Of course, new design is always a matter of taste but the rest is actually just amateurishly bad work. What a disappointing belly flop...

The latest update brought a new design of the app. In my case, this destroyed the user experience of the app, because all my playlists are gone, irretrievable. So I cancelled my subscription and deleted the app. Destroying a significant part of the app by updating it is a huge no go. I‘m not happy with this decision, but sometimes you have to let go. The new app looks nice though. So 2 stars.

At all… i cant even log in. Trash app.

I cannot automatically add episodes to my playlist, it does not download automatically and I sometimes cannot even find podcasts. I only use for premium content.

Es gibt nur eine einzige Chance seine Podcasts von Apple Podcast zu importieren, und das nur bevor man die Möglichkeit hat die App auszuprobieren.

I downloaded Stitcher because it is suported directly in my car entertainment system. But it proved the worst podcast app I have used so far. The user interface is very confusing and pushes so many recommendations on you that it is hard to find the podcasts you have subscribed to. It is impossible to determine the download status or automatically remove previous episodes. Sometimes, a different podcast than the one last played will play, seemingly at random. Overall it has proven completely unusable.

I only use this app because it’s the only way to get Freakonomics Premium Content. What I don’t like: Always wthe I resume content this woman tells me “resuming content” - why?!! I know I pressed the play button! I always think: “Shut up I want to hear my content not you!!!” I get notifications about new episodes from shows I have played but are not in my favorites. Seems to be no way to disable this so I disabled all notifications about new episodes. Sometimes I cannot start playing new episodes and error messages show up (might be more a problem of freakonomics) I cannot easily see which episodes have been downloaded. I wish they would simple make a personalized RSS feed available so zu could subscribe to that :-(

It's an interesting concept, really; once you pay the fee to get rid of the advertising, you can't access the content from BBC anymore. Also, no support for iCloud. Sharing your favourites with someone, requires you to have a Facebook account. I'm not making this up.
