Veterans Day episode
I have enjoyed this podcast until today. Y’all seem pretty intelligent so that makes me wonder how you thought the episode you did was acceptable. You could have done this episode any week of the year but you picked to do it this week. For a day where we are supposed to honor our veterans for their sacrifice and y’all went and made some of them look like murders. Why would you think that bringing awareness to one by placing judgment of guilt on the others was an acceptable episode. They claim to be cleared but you drug them through the mud. There are plenty of stories out there about civilians who have murdered military members. But you picked one to make sure the military didn’t look too good. My husband is a retired Marine and even he said that was just a huge slap in the face. Shame on you Ashley

Finally a place to call home for Crime Junkies.
Edit: I am a very active user on the app. I reply to comments and help other users with questions where I can. I am in no way affiliated with Audiochuck or Crime Junkie. I just love it so much I choose to be a very active club member!
I have listened to Crime Junkie for quite some time; then they expanded into Audiochuck and a plethora of other shows which I listen to as well. The app is very well designed! I love the black/purple color scheme and the fact that the photos are RIGHT there as the story goes along makes it an incredibly smooth process to listen, see and even read about the case being told. The audio quality is astounding I RARELY have an issue with the app. The community is extremely friendly and more of a Family. Anyone can belong here, talk about cases as well as answer polls. I encourage any and every true crime enthusiast to join! Be Weird, Be Rude, Stay Alive ;)

Fav podcast- Love the app!
I love Crime Junkie so much!! I’ve been listening for years now and am so glad there’s a new way to get Patreon content because the website was really annoying sometimes and I never really ended up using it. Now I can binge all the ones I never got to listen to 🤩 The one thing about the app that I would love to see fixed is that after a certain amount of time of keeping the podcast on pause, it refreshes so you have to find the episode again. It keeps the place of where you are in the episode which is nice though. It’s easy enough just to look up the name of whoever the case was about in the search bar, but it’d be nice if it didn’t refresh. All in all I’m so glad they made an app!! 😍😊

LOVE!!!
i was worried at first because so many reviews talk about the flaws (crashing in middle of episodes, can’t get previous episodes, unable to leave app/pause bc it starts over) , but none of them have happened to me. it’s perfect, the fact that it has the discussion thread, the episode pics/documents RIGHT there (no more going on laptop and searching to see them!) it’s like they took every single suggestion ever made and perfected their app to make it so easy to manage. i know that they’ll work hard to fix any issues that people are talking about because it’s clear that they really listened to what people needed/wanted in this app! very thorough, can’t praise it, or them, enough ◡̈

Love the app, HATE the bugs
The ONLY reason I’m giving this one star is for the bugs. I have listened to every episode available on Apple Podcast but wanted more content so I thought what better time to binge old episodes? I also paid for the annual membership where I got the whole backlog of content that I hadn’t been able to listen to before. However, the bugs are insane! The app crashes like 12 times before I can ever make it through one single episode. It’s so frustrating. Like commenters before me, you have to search through and find what episode you were on AND the part that you were at in that episode. It doesn’t pick up where it leaves you off when it kicks you out. It drains your battery in no time so make sure you have a charger with you. I also tried messaging within the app before leaving a one star review because it’s not the podcast I dislike or the hosts. It’s just the app itself. I don’t even care that it’s the only place to listen to new episodes. I’m just so over having to restart whatever episode I was on (if I can find it) when the app crashes on me. It happens when I’m connected to WiFi, when I’m not connected to WiFi, when I’ve downloaded the episode, when I haven’t. Doesn’t matter. I’m lucky if I make it through one full episode without it crashing and in order to make it through one it will have definitely crashed several times before. I hate it.

Love the show, not a fan of the app.
This app is not at all user friendly. If you are listening to old episodes, you have to scroll all. the. way. back. every time you want to find the episode you were listening to. I drive a lot which is why I listen to podcasts but it’s not at all functional for me to use this app because I can’t keep scrolling. You download episodes, but there’s no tab to find the list of episodes that you have downloaded. I was hoping there was so it would be easier to find what I want. It’s so irritating to have to also scroll through a giant list of “locked” episodes too. I also was really disappointed to find that previous bonus episodes are only unlocked if you pay annually. It almost doesn’t feel worth the cost. Other Patreon feeds I support unlock access to the entire backlog even at their lowest tier. I may be cancelling just based on the inconvenience factor.

I guess I’ll be canceling my fan club membership.
I’m so disappointed, yesterday I joined Patreon at the lowest tier for five dollars a month and I was hoping to have access to the last year of content that I have not listened to (the bonus episodes). Well I signed up got the new app, and discovered that with my five dollar Patreon membership I do not have access to any of the past bonus episodes, only the ones from today on. In order to get the past episodes I have to spend $250 for an annual membership. That is highway robbery and it is not right. I also do not like having a separate app. I listen to all of my podcasts through an app called Castro which recognizes all of my Patreon feeds. I keep everything organized; I only have to have one app, I’ve been having trouble with not having enough room on my phone lately so I’ve had to offload a bunch of apps, so the fact that I have to download another app just to listen to one podcast is very frustrating. I just signed up two days ago now for the Patreon and I’m canceling it. The last time I signed up for Crime Junkie’s Patreon which was probably one and a half years ago I had access to all of the back episodes. I’m sorry but I just don’t think that a years worth of one bonus episode a month is worth $250. Sorry crime junkie.

Filter updates needed
Let me start by saying I love the podcast. They are great story tellers but the app could be better. I’m
glad they fixed the infinite sign in loop. It was incredibly frustrating. I like that the episode notes and photos are right there.
I wish the filter and search options were a little more user friendly. When you type in the search bar, it seems to be word specific. So if you misspell a name or not an exact case name, it doesn’t pull it up. It should be phrase match or a close match. It would be nice if there were more filter options. Such as “downloaded episodes” and “unplayed”. It’s very frustrating scrolling through all of these episodes to find episodes that I haven’t listened to or downloaded to play offline.

Many issues
I love the show and I really like the concept of this app even though I don’t like that every single thing on life now needs a separate app! Anyway, my main issue with this app is that is nothing like a podcast app should be, it restarts every single time you get out and in again and it doesn’t keep playing the episode you were in!! It is sooo annoying! I listen in the car so every time I stop to do something and come back I need to try to find the episode again, and even worst, I need to figured where in the episode it was playing because it doesn’t remember where I was!! On top of that, if you want to start playing the episodes from the beginning, good luck, you’ll pass hours looking where did you leave it last time. On top of that the app keeps crashing for no reason and you need to start all over again looking for the episode you left! I literally have started 4 episodes and for whatever reason I put my phone down for 1 min and could never find it again!! There are too many episodes to sort through all of them every single time you get in the app. Oh, and when you play it from oldest to newest it keeps playing from newest to oldest, so you need to go back and find the next episode up in the list.

Was skeptical but LOVE LOVE LOVE
I was skeptical of getting this app Bc I enjoy listening to the podcast and have no issues just using Apple podcasts to listen. I went ahead and downloaded it honestly just to help Ash and Brit by getting downloads lol I am in love! I love how all the pictures and comments are right there with the story. I always want to see the pics they are talking about but if I’m listening to an old episode while I’m catching up-it is such a pain to go scroll through a years worth of social media posts trying to find the pics for the episode. Even current episodes-I just don’t like having to go to socials to find pictures so I never see them. Now they are right there when you click on the episode and so easy to get to. I didn’t realize how much it really adds to the story to be able to see the people they are talking about! It is super user friendly! This was a great idea Ash and Brit! Thank you for always bringing the best content and actually trying to help and not just telling the stories.
