| 2025-02-02 |  | | One of my three favorite podcast apps used to replace Google podcast. Good customer support and suggestion message board. Lots of settings for data display and customizing the app. Individual episode downloading allowed w/o podcast subscription. Takes time to learn how to use the many functions and to learn how to screen navigate.As of 2/1/25, a few more podcast downloading attempts fail due to "javascript and certificate" error. Sleep timer could have more understandable marking IMO.Recommended |
| 2025-01-31 |  | | I had to find an alternative to Google podcasts when Google shut that down. My daughter find Podcast Addict. For someone in my age range, this app isn't as intuitive as Google Podcasts, but with some tutoring by my twenty-something daughter and some practice using it, I like it better than Google podcast. There are so many audio platforms to choose from- podcasts, radio, audio books, and educational classes. It's a fantastic app. I highly recommend it! |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | I pitch this to everyone that listens to podcasts. Easy to use rss feeds, easy to use interface for exploration or selection. Beautiful, simple, small, and most importantly: they don't intersperse ads while you're listening. They do the logical thing and use a banner ad. |
| 2025-01-25 |  | | Maybe somebody can help me with this. Until what I think was the last update when I was licking my playlist there was arrows on the left side of each episode and I was able to manually put them in the order I wanted and now I can't. It's still my go-to podcast app, but it is a little annoying. I'm probably missing something and would like help. |
| 2025-01-23 |  | | I've tried many podcast apps featuring 2.0 capabilities. Addict could flesh out more, but gets a solid 4 ☆ for consistency over the years. Having small issue of playback (sometimes) getting paused if other app (game) running forces an ad, which sets off notification sound in an unwanted way. Niagara Pro, some KGWT Pro going, etc., if that helps the dev reading this. All in all, one of the best podcast apps, hands down. |
| 2025-01-22 |  | | This app has always skipped back a few seconds occasionally (minor, not a big deal) now it's cutting the end of episodes off. Probably going to look for an alternative. Edit- I'll try downloading the episodes per the developer and report back in a few days Edit 2 downloading episodes is the way to go, 5 stars baby! |
| 2025-01-22 |  | | Gets 1 star because of rude and unhelpful tech support. Recently had a tech issue regarding the audio not playing on this app when the audio plays fine on other players(i.e.spotify, etc) Submitted a help request and support tried to tell me I didn't know how to use my phone and was totally UNHELPFUL. Mind you, this issue didn't start until a recent app update and as stated, was ONLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS APP! Since then, I have switched to Pocket Casts which is better anyway. Developer is lying. |
| 2025-01-20 |  | | This app is terrible if using it on a Google phone . Not sure if it's the app or the phone, but I can't stream a podcast for more than 30 seconds without it skipping constantly. Used to be a great app but now it's garbage. I'm trying to stream using a full Wi-Fi signal too. Beginning to hunt for a new podcast app. |
| 2025-01-17 |  | | EDIT: the comment by the app owner is incorrect. an episode of a podcast on this app is 10 minutes shorter here than it is on spotify. same ep. both streaming. skips don't happen on Spotify either. Horrible app. Will say an episode is over when it has stopped abruptly, will repeat minutes of an ep at a time and skip around...I really didn't want to go to Spotify but looks like I'll need to |
| 2024-12-29 |  | | This is the best podcast app I've tried. I love that I can add bookmarks and notes as I listen. A small issue I'm having since updating my Galaxy watch is that the watch controls for skipping forward and backward no longer work. I hope there will be a fix for this soon. Excellent app! Thank you! ....Thank you for your quick response. That worked! 😊 |
