One of my favorite podcasts! but the new app is unusable for me. I rely heavily on the download function to be able to listen offline and as far as I can see, the new app doesn’t allow that so i haven’t been able to listen at all in months, probably canceling my subscription if […]

The app is still bad. I’m unsubbing, I would rather listen to commercials in Podcast Addict. Still won’t save progress. Still uses data and streams episodes I have downloaded. I’m constantly being logged out for some reason? The Android media controls don’t work. The landing page is TV instead of Podcast, adding clicks to get […]
I thought the new app update would solve the issues I was having with the old app, but somehow it did the opposite. The old app had some quirks for me, like play/pause over headphones or my truck not working. But the new app is far, far worse. It doesn’t save my episode progress, so […]
The content is great! I love sword and scale and Mike is an amazing story teller. App specific: the sleep timer glitches(?) if you tap multiple times to select a different length of time, it will just stop the episode seemingly randomly after that. I’d love to be and to open the app and get […]
I liked the app the first two days, paid for a podcast subscription-first time ever…S&S got me thru 4 days w/o power due to storms. Day3- the app crashed or something- I can’t play any episodes. I have 1 episode downloaded it plays the first 15 sec&freezes- cant fast forward or rewind, can’t play prev/next […]
I love Sword and Scale! Best true crime podcast. Period! The story telling is amazing, the focus is strongly on the victims, not just the regurgitation of lurid facts. They do share many of the details that most podcasts gloss over. It is definitely worth the $5! I only have one issue, occasionally, the app […]
app is broken, the podcast is fantastic but the app is terrible. I can only listen to about 5-8 minutes of an episode before the app crashes and signs me out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled more times than I can count and signed out and back in even more. I really wish I could […]
Content is great. App? Not so much. My favorite true crime podcast. I listen to at least one episode a day while I’m working through my vehicle’s Bluetooth connection. If I get distracted from the podcast and want to go back a few minutes I have to open my phone and do it through the […]
I absolutely LOVE this podcast! I love true crime, but never got into podcasts…until my husband’s friend told me about this one as we discussed our love of true crime! I CAN’T stop listening. I started out with my audible subscription but wanted more, so I signed up for plus! I do hope the app […]
Been a plus member since 2021. This app simply doesn’t work, I can’t even stay logged in for more than a few minutes. It constantly logs you out or crashes and stops playing or both. It’s sad because I haven’t even been able to listen to a full episode since it became exclusive to the […]
I’ve been using this app for about a year now and I have to say that it’s one of the best ones out there! It works better than most big name podcast apps, which is really saying something considering the size of this company. If i were to give any feedback (it’s fine the way […]
My absolute favorite crime podcast. App is atrocious and unusuable, and a stupid move to being app only. Update: they added a little icon for downloading that you can click but the app still doesn’t work offline at all including playback or selecting an episode. So there still isn’t a download feature. It also doesn’t […]
Enjoyed the app at first, but the most important features for me are remembering where I left off and actually loading in under a minute. These two things are still not available from my current experience. I initially rated the app a 5 when it first dropped, but sadly, I had to change it. Also […]
App is nice but one major flaw. Playback of an episode does not resume where you left off. This means having to skim through an hour or more long episode to try to figure out where you left off. Not cool. Google podcasts does remember where you left off no matter how long its been […]
this podcast is great, one of my favorites. dark, audio footage from real interviews, court hearings, body cams. it’s great. the app, SUCKSSSSSSS. Episodes will randomly stop, it will log you out for no reason, if a phone call comes in, the episodes will keep playing silently, leaving you to figure out where you left […]
Podcast is amazing and looking forward to watch the show. Unfortunately, the updated app (the reason for the 2 stars), doesn’t seem to work in the car. It only worked while playing music on Spotify. If pause Spotify, I lose S&S audio lol. The app looks nice, but not as user friendly compared to previous […]
The podcast is phenomenal! The best true crime podcast out there! The app however, needs work. The issues I’ve noticed so far are when I play an episode I can’t play/pause with Bluetooth headphones after a random period of time, sometimes right away. Tried a few pairs of headphones and a couple devices, same issue […]
It won’t let me pause the audio on the pop up display player, or using the pause button on my earbuds. Response – yes it has been and still is the newest version available, still same problem. Also, it doesn’t save or pick back up on the episode I am currently listening to when the […]
I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. I found it on Spotify around episode 250 and was immediately hooked (I’ve listened to more episodes than I can count). I’m big on the facts. You’ll find 911 calls, police interviews, and other content. Just a really solid podcast. Paying for additional content is 100% […]
like everyone else: this app constantly logs out, which is a major pain when you’re a car listener; it doesn’t save where you left of in an episode; and it randomly won’t play over basic Bluetooth speakers. I get that it’s tough to design your own app, but the first app was just fine — […]
