Al Jazeera podcasts downloaded automatically. I never subscribed to Al Jazeera news podcasts, but they were in my downloads with the items I did choose. Consequently, I uninstalled the app. Another problem I had with the app was that I would download programs at home, then go for a walk to listen to them. The […]

This app has completely ceased to function. It went from being a great little app to a slow loading advertisement monster. I literally can’t even get a podcast to start, let alone play an entire episode. The podcasts now stall, take 5 minutes to start at all, and have a loud obnoxious video that pops […]

I opened the app on my device. I already made an account with this app. Log out. Then opened again. It seems like the problems I am having are most of podcasts I subscribed are gone and only the recent ones I just subscribe is there. Refreshing the app. Log out and losing more of […]

What happened? Up until about a week ago this app was fantastic. I loved it and listen to podcasts every day! However, for a few days the podcast came in like they were speeding and now they are running very slow, like it takes twice the time. Are the programers aware of this issue? Thank […]

Love the podcasts, but they stop abruptly. In the middle of a show, for no particular reason, the podcast will just stop. It doesn’t just pause itself; in order to pick up where I left off I have to search for it again, find that specific episode again, and try to find where it cut […]

This thing has video ads. On a podcast player. I download my podcasts on wifi, to listen on long drives so I don’t have to use my data. Only for this thing to play a video ad, defeating the point of downloading the podcasts. Because now my data is used for the ad. Also the […]

Why does the subscribed podcast list come prepacked with several episodes of podcasts I don’t care about? Bad start. I had to delete them one by one. After that, the app is not bad; much better than YouTube Music as a podcast player, actually. Two suggestions: make it easier to slow down speed of play […]

So, as with sone other reviews, it has suddenly begun having issues. I can not seem to turn it off without force stopping it. I uninstalled and reinstalled and same issue. And, no I will not send you a screen shot or anything else. You have apparently been working on these same glitches for months […]

Thought this was a cool app, but the ads are too intrusive. I’m fine with some ads, but not the constantly changing ads while a podcast is playing. When I look at my screen, I want to see what podcast is being played, not a constant stream of ads. Plus, hard to believe it doesn’t […]

It works well for podcasts that you are subscribed to. But it’s difficult to “try out” a new podcast. You are unable to listen to a podcast that you aren’t subcribed to. So you have to subscribe to it, in order to download episodes. Kinda a bother. But only if you like to try out […]

pretty good app. would like to see some changes, like playing podcasts from oldest to newest, but otherwise it’s great. after using it for a few weeks now, it rarely if ever updates my podcasts with new episodes, even when I manually refresh, it often fails to update. it does not always auto play the […]

Enjoy this app. Broad selection of podcasts to choose from. App interface is sometimes less than smooth to use, and things that seem intuitive, like playing the next episode don’t always happen. Occasionally, the previous episode will autoplay. Seems to be related to how the podcasts are uploaded. All in all, it’s a small annoyance […]

too buggy. worked great the first time I opened it, then the following day, I couldn’t unsubscribe to the podcasts it just dumped into my pool, and I couldn’t add another podcast to it. it also tries to fool you into settling up alerts and making it sound like you couldn’t heard the podcast in […]

Wish I had read reviews instead of just seeing the rating. No idea how this app has a 4.8 star rating (all the recent reviews are bad). The ads are so obnoxious. It’s almost impossible to close some of them without “clicking” the ad because the X box in the corner is so tiny. Annoyed […]

I liked this at first but the ads became very annoying and also took up a lot of battery. I wouldn’t have cared if it showed a picture ad, but it shows videos that play non stop, draining your battery. Many of the ads are the very annoying full screen video ads and they are […]

I hated it. I’m an experienced app user, and found this one confusing to navigate. I took a while to find how to unsubscribe from a podcast. There are no apparent ways to filter searches. Sorting was single tiered. I played with it briefly, times that was wasted when I could’ve been listening. I uninstalled […]

I recently changed podcast apps and this one works really well for me. But, because I don’t know tech well and get frustrated when I don’t know the tricks I didn’t know how to get rid of the long list of episodes on each one that I had already listened to. Sent a quick message […]

Easily the worst podcast player I ever used. I tried so hard to make it work for months. Even paid for ad free. It was terrible. Would randomly decide it didn’t want to download podcasts. Skipped around randomly within episodes, even playing downloaded episodes. “cannot play the next episode due to a broken source” – […]

On initial install it subscribes you to about 10 podcasts that have nothing to do with my interests. It has the option to remove them but not all podcasts respond to this. UPDATE: After a response to this post, I tried again and they did get removed this time so, who knows. I’m using the […]

Works in a pinch but lacks many features I’m looking for, so I’m uninstalling. They automatically subscribe you to ten totally random podcasts with no easy way to unsubscribe. You can’t search for individual episodes and there is no way to build a queue of selected episodes, which is crazy to me. You also can’t […]
