Bug fixes

User reviews

Why have to sign in all the time

Why not have persistent user account? Have to log in every time I open it.

It never remembers what podcast it played last, or even which podcasts it has ever played. Don’t even ask it to remember the last position on an old episode.

It keeps playing the next oldest podcast episode in my sub feed. Doesn’t stay on the same podcast. Doesn’t just just stop playing. There is no way to define what plays next. No queue.

Good but a bit eh: From one developer to another

Search function not intuitive to find. It’s on a specific page whose icon does not resemble or remind one of a magnifying glass.

Search action doesn’t have a loading icon. Is it doing anything for 15-30 seconds? Doesn’t look like it, until surprise! Meanwhile I was trying to focus on life and got distracted thinking it wasn’t loading. The main reason for this is to facilitate minimal distraction.

When looking through the episode list of a podcast, the release date of each episode is not displayed. Have to go into each episode to check that. Other apps show the date.

This app has a lot of promise. Heck it even has no in-app purchases either, but it’s not as popular as other options. So, of course it’s gonna be a bit laggy. Please fix it though

Maybe a replacement for Google Podcasts?

Although this app seems to be stable and free of annoyance-ware ads for premium features, it failed to import an export of my subscriptions from the Google podcasts app. Other apps had no problem with the same import file. Is it worth moving everything? Idk yet. May report back.

Okay to a degree

Nice simple interface but lacks filters and settings control.

I want to know how many podcasts have been downloaded
I want to be able to specify how many podcasts download for each podcast show
I want to be able to configure the tabs to show what I want to see. For instance my library and a search page

Other than that it’s okay

is good for podcasts

but after awhile it will fill up all your gigabytes

also all the good podcasts have a lot of edits and skips that might not be the apps fault probably the platforms ($) are to blame
