Podcast Republic - Podcast App

The bugs mentioned in these reviews have not been addressed despite the supposedly genuine responses from the devs. Also the player will sometimes pause when minimizing the app or locking the screen

This was an awesome app for years, but with an update the triple click button has ceased to work. This is a little critical as it takes away a third of screen free button options. Please fix.

Fantastic app. Allows me to sync my podcasts across iOS and Android devices, even reflecting % played at the episode level. Two requests: 1) Show an AirPlay icon on the Now Playing screen, so users can stream to a nearby device while playing from their phones. 2) Add and consolidate “How many episodes to keep” in Global Settings. Right now, I configure this across three settings at the podcast level. Keep up the the good work!

If you’re looking for a podcast app that goes beyond a basic featureset, this is it. Mark chapters, customize the your visuals, make notes… this app blows everything else on the App Store away. Everything else seems basic and stripped down. The one thing other apps might have is slightly slicker UI. I searched far and wide when i had to leave behind Podcast Addict during my switch to ios. Also the premium version of this app is a ONE TIME fee NOT a subscription!!! Thank you Podcast Republic for challenging the subscription model of leeching people’s wallets with countless recurring fees.

The iOS version of the app is not as well developed as the Android version. The IOS layout doesn’t seem to scale based on the screen size but rather has a standard size making it difficult to select certain things. It will select an item above or below or not switch. Used the app for years on Android and sad bc would like to continue because IMO it’s the best podcast app but simple things do not work.

I have been using PR for about a year now. I discovered it when I briefly switched to Android and was looking for an alternative to Pocket Casts. I love PR’s level of customization and how quick it is. I also like its UX and overall feel. I deeply respect the developers' work and the frequency and diligence with which they release updates and bug fixes. Kudos!

I was liking this on android but somehow l can’t seem to get it right on iOS

I just want to fall asleep listening to my podcasts. I’m up to date on one so I like to go through the episodes at random. This is the only app that has a shuffle. And I can favorite the episodes and shuffle just the favorites. It’s the best. I love this app.

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
