2025-01-28 | Terrible update. After this latest update all I can say is turn back! Audio issues like CRAZY! Sounds absolutely horrible. It was a solid platform before, but until they fix this, I'm done. Update 1/27/25: newest update terrible. I can't mute in live shows. Have to leave the show in order to"mute" it says I'm calling in when I'm already on the panel. Pixel 8 | ||
2025-01-22 | This is an adjunct to VLC and TunIn Radio. It's the only way to download NPR, speed up the playback and backspace when I spaced out and missed a word or two. The staff were very helpful. I had a problem with podcast clutter going back to May of last year. They somehow, behind the scenes, fixed things | ||
2025-01-20 | I've used this app for years, but the last few years it won't download episodes when not on Wi-Fi even if have the settings adjusted to enable cellular to download or stream and still won't work even when I have a strong mobile hotspot. It makes using the app when traveling extremely clunky and difficult. Any ideas on a solution? 🙏🏻 | ||
2025-01-06 | Loving this app! Finally, one app with all my podcasts. Easy to navigate, they don't kill you with ads & it's great they let you post comments. I was using Radio USA, but it turned out to be a phone & battery Wrecking Ball. Constantly froze, trapped me in no exit out ads & locked me out from exiting back to my homepage. It made a mess out of my phone. I had to bring to a phone Fix-It shop. So, now that I found Podcast Player, I'm a customer for life. | ||
2025-01-02 | A fine app, although there's some issues that make it difficult to recommend; 1) there's a bug where the track skips backwards by a minute or two if you listen to a podcast interrupted (like pausing, then exiting the app and using another for a while), it's jarring but it's obvious when you hear the same minute over again. 2) the app seems to autoplay the music when you open the window, which is annoying, because it may have been paused, but then I unlock my phone and it suddenly starts playing. | ||
2024-12-28 | I have used this app for over 5 years and I love it. I've tried different podcatchers , etc., over time and always find myself coming back to podbean. My only real issue is with the search feature when looking for podcasts. To find a certain podcast, you often have to be very very specific in searching the title. And when searching broader terms, a lot of good podcasts are missed in the results. But everything else is spot on wonderful and I doubt I'll ever switch up | ||
2024-12-10 | I loved stitcher. This was the best option I could find but it routinely will restart an episode from the begining. If certain apps are open the playback is glitchy. I tried to contact support via the app and it gives an option to text, but no number to send feedback to. | ||
2024-12-08 | This app delivers a premium experience with its clean, intuitive interface, vast content library, and personalized recommendations. Whether you're into true crime, self-help, or niche topics, the selection is unmatched. Features like offline listening, adjustable playback speed, sleep timers, and real-time transcripts enhance usability, while social sharing lets you connect with friends. | ||
2024-11-24 | Lots of fighting with downloads. I started using this app for the available content, but end up having to fight to get episodes downloaded. I'll start a few and invariably one or more will get "stuck," refusing to download or let any other episodes download. When I try to delete to episode blocking others, it won't delete and I have to force stop the app, reopen, and try again. It takes several try and feels like a huge waste of time. | ||
2024-11-24 | Tried loads of podcast apps when googles podcast app was discontinued and this was my favourite one. Could be doing with a slightly better layout but apart from that it's good. The only issues I've had with the app is the consistency of the played podcast info. Seems to forget I've listened to podcasts sometimes. But all in all it's the perfect podcast app for anyone to use as their daily driver. |
