### 3/5 — Great functions but unreliable

*2026-08-23, version 7.0.1*

After Google podcasts closed, I was happy to find Podurama - it allows for a favs folder, a queue, a save later, all the features I was looking for. But lately, I cannot rely on the feed to show me all new episodes . I follow a daily podcast, but haven’t seen the new episodes in my feed for the last 3 days. I must go to the podcast to see the new episodes. This means I may be missing from Other pods w less consistent schedules. This unreliability is fatal to my future w this app

### 5/5 — Best podcast app like stitcher

*2026-08-13*

So great to use Saving Sticher fans

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-07-29, version 7.0.1*

This covers all my needs. I use iOS on mobile and Linux desktop. The web version syncs with the mobile client perfectly. There are some small ui tweaks need to be done, but the app works great

### 2/5 — Great but one major bug

*2026-07-15, version 7.0.1*

The app is great, well worth the premium upgrade however new episode notifications have never worked

### 1/5 — No App Support

*2026-07-06, version 6.4.1*

I’ve emailed support 4 separate times to ask them to remove old/cached podcast content/artwork/episode descriptions for my podcast that no longer exists. Their site keeps showing it, even though rss feed is expired and podcast deleted. Customer service nonexistent.

### 5/5 — The features o was looking for!

*2026-04-25, version 6.4.1*

Losing Stitcher was a big deal, but finding Podurama has made up for it. They have bookmarks, very good AI summaries of podcasts, good related recommendations, and sleep timer. I just imported my stitcher file into Podurama and it populated everything easily.

### 5/5 — Best podcast player out there

*2026-03-27, version 6.4.1*

I used to be a huge Stitcher fan until they went away. I scrambled to replace my podcast player. I tried every one like and felt like little red riding hood trying porridge, until I came to Podurama, which was just right! I have a gigantic podcast list, but there are a handful I like to keep at the top and I go through phases of listening a ton and not listening at all. So keeping the newest episodes and my favorites was at the top. Podurama did this! And it let me categorize them into things like my top list, news only or podcasts I listen to before going to sleep. I have tried most podcasts players and this is my tops!

### 5/5 — Lots of Features

*2026-03-03, version 6.4.1*

I switch from Android to iPhone recently and this is the closest app I could find to my favorite Android podcast app.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-02-13, version 5.4.3*

Great app
Regular updates

### 4/5 — Great but one major bug

*2026-01-14, version 6.4.1*

The app is great, well worth the premium upgrade however new episode notifications have never worked
