  • Outstanding!

    This is a great app. It works flawlessly. It has an excellent library of available podcasts. It also has lots of features that are like white glove treatment for the listener. For instance, you’re driving somewhere listening to a podcast and the GPS interrupts to give you directions, iCatcher backspaces the audio so that you don’t miss what the GPS talked over. Set a sleep timer and, instead of abruptly stopping when the timer is up, it slowly fades the sound out so that you aren’t jarred awake. It has the feel that the people who make also actually use it.

  • This is now my favorite app

    I don't know Joeisanerd but this app of his is by far my most used app on my IOS devices. It quickly filled up my iPods memory space. When I up graded to the new iPhone 5, this app was the key one to help me decide on getting the 64GB version of the phone. iCatcher makes it so easy to find new podcasts and to create customize playlists. I've tried other pod catchers like Downcast, Stitcher, and other free ones but they all had some shortfalls like too much advertising, or functionality. iCatcher just plays my selections without those things getting in the way. Well worth the $2.99. Thanks for making this and keeping it up to date Joe. 5 stars.

  • Works good

    I’ve had this app through a few versions over a couple years and it has been good. It’s not the most intuitive to learn how to use but a little effort reveals its ability to customize your fav’s and subscriptions to your every whim. Once set up, it operates easy and brainless and that part is cool.

    Suggestion to developers, instructions and explanations for features and choices should be clearer and go into more depth. Example; what is the difference between “episodes to keep” and “downloads to keep?” And what benefit is there to have different number for each one on the same podcast?

  • Best Podcast App for Apple Watch

    Recently began looking for another podcast app as Watch Player is just too buggy and Overcast stopped supporting Apple Watch. iCatcher is fantastic! Great suite of options, easy to find and download podcasts, easy to transfer to Apple Watch, and just enough functionality on the Watch to enjoy podcasts while exercising with NO bugs yet. Love it! Am running Apple Workout app in the background with no issues. Well worth the price of admission. Nice features on the iPhone to sort and mark podcasts previously listened to. Great App!

  • I heart iCatcher!

    I've used this app every day for years. It's a wonderful alternative to the terrible podcasts app Apple released, and better than any other I've tried. I love the options for multiple playlists, streaming or downloading, different settings for different podcasts, and even the little icon. The updates are pretty frequent, and the ONE time the app was unusable it was fixed in a few days. Honestly, I just trusted the developer to fix it soon because he always takes care of bugs right away.

    I definitely recommend this app!

  • Best of all podcast apps

    I've checked out most of the podcast apps and this one is the best! It is VERY feature rich and customizable.
    I really love the way that I can have custom playlists and they can be manually sorted. This allows me to have only the episodes that I want on a list and put them in the order that I want to sort them.
    Another feature I make great user of us the note taking. It lets me capture my thoughts very easily.
    And being able to have custom gestures allows me to skip forward and back just how much I want very easily.
    There are a few other very good podcast apps out there, but ICatcher is the best of the best!

  • The most underrated podcast app out there!

    I have tried many podcast apps and keep coming back to iCatcher! It handles everything I throw at it, from video podcasts to importing mp3 files I find online and want to easily play. The playlist feature is one of the best I’ve seen. It supports static playlists that you populate manually and dynamic playlists based off a numbers of search options. I never have to worry about what episode to find because my favorite shows always show up in one of a few playlists I have set up.

  • Finally

    Like other podcast consumers, I found the native iOS podcast app unusable, so I tried some alternatives, mainly Podbean. Podbean would regularly fail to update my podcasts for weeks at a time. I wanted to try Overcast, but Overcast complained that I didn't have the latest iOS version. So I took a chance on a paid app -- iCatcher! It works perfectly and I am so glad to have spent the money on it. My podcasts update and if I want, I can force a refresh to see if any new episodes exist, but iCatcher! usually has already updated my list so that isn't necessary. Good job, developer!
