BEST PODCAST APP EVER
FAVOURITE PODCAST APP EVER
Deceptive
This is a progressive propaganda outlet which like many such intentionally obscures its nature and purpose.
Making sense of news in the age of disinformation
I love this app and their journalism. I have listened to many podcasts and am always impressed with the quality of reporting. The News Meeting is perfect for my walk back from the gym. I love that they keep an eye on stories in the world that the rest of the news media has pivoted away from covering despite nothing being resolved. I also love the podcasts on particular stories. I found the podcasts because of the Neil Gaiman story and just started another on a spiritual life counselor (I do not really know what to call her) that manipulated and abused her patients. I will be sharing the content with friends and family.

Thank you
One of my favourites, if not favourite podcast. Discovered it whilst browsing to look for great stories and have been listening to Tortoise since. The work of the journalists, producers and everyone involved in getting the stories out are phenomenal. Thank you
Audio Walled Garden
I’m a former Tortoise subscriber and an avid podcast listener. I have a great podcast app set up exactly as I like it. It has numerous features I value. But Tortoise is busy erecting an audio walled garden. If I want to listen to Tortoise podcasts using my subscriber benefits (early and ad free listening) I am forced to listen in the pared down audio player offered by the Tortoise app. Why can’t I access my subscriber benefits via an RSS link in my podcast player of choice? Other publications make this easy for subscribers - the Economist is a great example. But Tortoise foists a substandard experience on its subscribers and expects me to now juggle multiple apps to accomplish my podcast listening. I cancelled my subscription and Tortoise has lost the subscription revenue. If matters change I would resubscribe. But the current state of affairs shows a disrespect for listeners’ workflows and time.

Slowed down! Loving Tortoise
Fantastic detail with Tortoise. They present brilliantly researched, important topics which are fascinating. They provide depth of insight to listeners.
Amazing content, disappointing application
Like most of your customers, I listen to your content in my vehicle. Although it does play when connected through apple carplay, I have no controls and the app is nonexistent on the screen. I have to dangerously use my phone to change programs or unpause or pause the content. What’s more, every time I get a text or any notification, the app stops playing and I have to press play again. This happens on headphones too. This is not a difficult fix, so I hope you guys update it soon!

I like it
Thanks. I like the theme - slow news. Much needed!
Who Trolled Amber Heard?
I appreciate Tortoise investigating this matter, despite being attacked by Depp fans and flunkies.
Much better after update
I previously rated the app 1* after it was literally unusable, as in after a couple of weeks it would crash on launch. Before the crashing, it was super slow.
However, the app has now had a facelift with a slick new UI and very intuitive features. Glad I stuck around!
