Love the app
Great app I’ve been using for years but now not as good
Love this app but so many bugs now. Even with the update having issues where podcasts don’t play (stream) until restart. Also progress circle is bugged and doesn’t accurately show how far into an episode it is now when I’m looking at previously played things. Hope it gets fixed fast.
Years of enjoyment
I have been using this podcast app daily for over 10 years. I love the flexibility of options and love setting up playlists for my work day.
Best podcast app!!
I love iCatcher! and have been using it religiously for years for all of my podcasts.
My only little complaint is with the recent UI update where it’s really hard to tell if an episode has been watched. Something changed with the colors or shading where it used to be obvious, and now I have to study/compare next to another episode. :(
Update: I might be missing something, but now, yes, it’s easy to tell if an episode has been listened to, but it’s the same indication if I’m halfway through or fully listened. The little circle used to show how far I was in the episode and I loved that. :)
Thank you!!

My favorite podcast app (again)
A mature app, and it keeps getting better. Well-designed, and you can tell that it's had real-world testing. Great usability and attention to detail. With so many features and options, you can configure the app exactly the way you want it. I especially like the Auto Start Sleep Timer, a feature I have not seen in other podcast apps. The developer is responsive and releases timely updates.

The Best Podcast I’ve ever used!
The breath of details is amazing! The Apple Watch app with the ability to use the built in speaker WOW! I have tried many podcast apps and this is head and shoulders above the rest. Awesome!
Used this podcast for year but it has been changed and no longer know how to use it
I am unable to stop “automatic continuous play” in the past this was not an issue, the only thing I can do is play the last podcast.
Latest update deleted all my downloads and randomly cuts off the ending of episodes
The latest update removed a setting that prevented downloaded episodes from being auto-deleted, and all my downloads were deleted and replaced with more recent episodes so I don’t even know which episodes are missing now. There doesn’t seem to be any way to protect downloads by default anymore; instead you have to select each individual episode and click through several menus until you can protect that one episode.
There also seems to be a bug that starts playing an episode and then partway through skips backwards and replays a portion ranging from the last few seconds or the last few minutes. After that it plays normally, but when it reaches the end of the original run time, the episode ends abruptly and misses the amount of time that got replayed. For example, if halfway through the episode it skips backwards and replays the last three minutes again, the episode will be missing the last three minutes at the end.
Thanks for the good privacy policy but the UI and UX really need improvement

Great for privacy, but has annoying UI. Recent update really frustrating. Can be unstable
Pros: free but still private; more stable than Overcast when subscribed to large numbers of podcasts; large catalog, including the ability to browse international podcasts
Cons: occasionally freezes, crashes, and/or skips backwards by 30 seconds. The UI is unnecessarily complicated and queuing up past episodes is really time consuming. The most recent update changed the default settings and deleted a bunch of my downloads. The episodes are gone from the queue so it’s going to take forever to even figure out which ones are missing.
A good option if you value privacy, want to find podcasts in multiple languages, or prefer casual, episodic podcasts. If you prefer binging serial podcasts, the UI is really annoying.

too confusing
I have the paid version and have had this for years. I find myself not using it because it is just too confusing and not intuitive and it takes up a lot of memory and I still don’t know how to delete certain things so that it doesn’t take up so much space.
Best Podcast App
This podcast app is my favorite.
Joe the developer did an amazing job. I noticed that there an a really. Life major update recently which was great.
I have been happily using this app for many many years on my iPhone and iPad. I love the swipe gestures and the user interface is nice. Swipe left or right to skip ahead or back. Swipe up and to the right to mark as played or draw an L to do the Leo skipping 2 minutes.
Double tap to pause or play. I also love the user interface. I have tried many other podcast apps but prefer this one.
This app can play video and audio podcasts.

Decade on still the best podcast app!
I have been using iCatcher for a decade. It’s miles above Apples podcast app and any other podcast app I’ve tried. I can’t imagine using anything else.
Horribly glitchy
I’ve used this app for years if not decades. It has always been really free from glitches and stalls. Now it’s constant. What’s up??!!!!! What did you do to ruin the clean operation. Recent update made it no better. Knock it off and put it back the way it was. Been considering switching to Spotify and you’re making that decision more likely. I’ll give a bit just because I’ve used it for sooooo long. But not being useable is a deal breaker.

Verbesserung geht noch :)
Ich halte diese App nach wie vor für einen der besten, um gezielt Podcasts zu hören. Im Gegensatz zu vielen verschlimmbesserten Apps, ist es diesem Entwickler besonders gut gelungen, sie noch effektiver und übersichtlicher zu gestalten, nicht zu vergessen mit einem beachtlichen Funktionsumfang mit großem Nutzen.
Danke :)
Update 5.9.26:
Nach diesem Update könnte ich meine obige Rezension erneut einfügen → eine wirklich tolle App, die wahrscheinlich jetzt an der Besser geht’s nicht-Schwelle entwickelt ist.
Danke :)

Best podcast app on iOS
This is the best podcast app on iOS. It just works. It has every feature I want in a podcast app.
Why did it take me so long to find this?!
I’ve been looking for a new podcast app as the one I’ve been using for ten years is no longer being updated. I’ve tried a lot of them. I’ve finally found the perfect replacement. iCatcher is privacy oriented, has lots of features, and works perfectly with car play.
Still going strong.
Been using this app for many many years and the fact it’s still here doing what it does best👍🏾 Keep up the good work 😃
Redesign is not good
Bring back the classic look - I hate this move to a Liquid Glass feel. The old one was so much better!

Terrible redesign
Was fine as is, now the UI is ugly as hell and some functionality is plain broken.
