Excellent outil avec la capacité d’écouter hors connexion ainsi que de créer une playlist d’écoute.

Worked fine up till now….app crashes

I had no issues with app for a long time.
Now it’s started crashing trying to open.

Worked great on Android, very buggy on ios

I used this podcast app for probably over a decade on Android, and loved it. But after switching to Apple I think I'm going to need to find a new player. Things that don't work: 1) Nothing gets marked as "played", even after fully playing through the episode and beginning the next one. This means "auto-delete when played" setting doesn't work. 2) It only plays based on the download order, not the playlist order. When combined with the first bug that means it frequently will start replaying an episode you already completed. 3) The "switch to series grid view" setting in the "following" tab doesn't stick. It resets to chronological episode view every time you leave the tab.

No way to export podcast subscriptions

This app used to be great when it was getting regular updates. But over the years it’s gotten buggier and its available features simply haven’t kept up with the competition. It seems the app owners know this, and so have decided to quietly remove the ability to export your podcast subscriptions out of the app via OPML. You can still “Import” via OPML, but the option to export was at some point entirely removed. This appears to be the case in another podcast app they own as well - Breaker. Basically they’ve trapped users into staying because they know how much of a hassle it is to manually re-add each podcast subscription in a new app. Which would be fine if they were regularly updating either of these apps, fixing bugs, and adding new features. But they’re not, because “Maple Media” isn’t a group of app developers - they’re just scam artists who buy popular apps for less than their worth so that they can continue to profit off of the original developer’s hard work while doing nothing except collecting premium subscription fees for themselves. They provide nothing for the users. The apps they own are essentially “dead apps” that stopped receiving updates and new features ages ago - but they keep them listed on the App Store so they can continue to profit off of them. So be forewarned if you download this app, because your’re actually falling into a trap that you later won’t be able to get out of.

Found this in 2016. Have been a paid sub since then. Absolutely love it. The web to mobile interface sync is amazing. Support your non-Spotify apps!!
