Reviews of Playapod

  • So close to perfect… but buggy

    For those of us scouring the App Store for a free—and ad-free—podcast app to replace our phone’s default app, Playapod seems perfect. No ads, lots of customization, and pretty easy to navigate after using the app for a bit.

    But there are some serious bugs. The Play Next feature works spottily at best on the main playlist. Most of the time, an episode ends, and then silence. The next episode in the playlist doesn’t start. I listen to podcasts on lengthy commutes, so this is basically a dealbreaker.

    Also, the app marks episodes as “listened” even when there are several minutes left. This can preemptively remove those episodes from the playlist, resulting in the same problem above: an episode ends, and the next one doesn’t start until I manually open the app and select it from the playlist.

    I really thought Playapod was the holy grail podcatcher I’d been searching for, but probably not if basic playlist functionality is broken. Devs, fix these bugs!
  • This Podcast is the Best Yet

    I’m not sure how to articulate why this free podcast player is the best but the most relevant to me is to contrast this player with the HORRIBLY designed iOS player. This player’s approach to listening to podcasts is 100% opposite of iOS so if you like iOS you may not like this one. This player is elegant in its simplicity. It’s powerful in its design allowing you to fully customize EVERYTHING with your subscriptions, either individually or globally. While listening to a podcast you can customizable on the fly as you’re listening. It has easy to FIND and understand tools/settings. So far, I’m LOVING this free podcast player - it finds ALL available podcasts and allows maximum freedom to play now, play later, timer, download, assemble playlists, etc.
  • Needs to louder volume

    I love the fact that this app uses the free and open podcast index however it’s missing many features I’m used to coming from pocketcast. It needs the ability to double the volume of the audio on all the podcasts. Volume normalization needs to be added. Also it would be nice if I could mark some podcasts to be placed at the top of the queue. Speaking of queues the app at times looses its queue especially when I reorganize my playlist. I don’t care about playlists or clips or sharing I just want what’s playing next to be in a certain order and the episodes loud enough to hear them in a noisy room.
