Reviews

This podcast app is great

The smart skip in the dead space between words is amazing so there’s not pauses and doesn’t speed up the talking too much like the stock podcast app. Love it and takes up less space in storage. Favorite so far keep it up guys

Need better list tuning

I like variety, yet adjusting settings makes the podcasts that produce three hours a day either completely dominate the playlist or never play as they flush before reaching the top of the stack/queue. I’d like to be able to better fine-tune it to get a better balance of all my subscriptions. Otherwise, this is a great app!

Not perfect, but close!

I wish it had two features. 1. Statistics of how long I’ve listened, how much tome saved from using variable speeds. 2. Able to manage speed of all podcasts without having to be listening at that moment

Podcast App of Choice

I have used this app for years and there is NO looking back for me. The developer is thoughtful and always ahead of the trends. This is the podcast app for you

Best podcast app

This is the first time I’ve actually written a review for anything, but I feel compelled to because I’ve been using this app for years for my podcasts and I love it! I have the free version. It’s easy to use, and organizes your podcasts nicely. There is a separate section for podcasts that you aren’t currently subscribed to but have listened to in the past. There are options to customize your listening experience. I especially like the feature that rewinds slightly when you pause so that you don’t miss anything when you resume playing. I love the dark mode. Definitely get this app!

Bring back the unplayed order arrows you coward

Why would you remove a quality of life function like that? Quit wasting my time.

Easy 5 Stars!

How good can a podcast app be? Well this one is very good, it has many podcasts to chose from, notifies you of your favorites new episodes! No complaints

Great Podcast App... (4.75 Stars)

Would rate it a 5 if I could use my AppleTV easily, to listen to my podcast (tvOS App that sync’d) SmartSpeed & VoiceBoost, are a must. Podcast’s sound ‘Odd’ without ‘SmartSpeed’, now.

Please bring add long press summaries

Just recently upgraded to iPhone 11 and force touch is gone. Please add ability to long press on episodes for episode preview summaries. Much missed feature on this new phone.
