Would not allow me to use my Apple ID to create an account so I had to use Google. Then during the onboarding, got hung up repeatedly when asking and giving access to the app on reminders, notifications, and calendar, consistently got hung up which I could only resolve with a forced shutdown. Then you have to start from the beginning. I am running the latest iOS and running it on a iPhone 13 so I don’t think it’s a specs issue. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2024-07-16, version 1.1.1* App doesn’t do anything. Has no content at all. Waste of my time. Now I can’t delete my account. SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM ### 3/5 — AI papers pod is broken *2025-05-05* It hasn’t been updated for a while :( ### 4/5 — We got it working *2024-08-09* I like the idea and wanted to try it, but multiple bugs during the onboarding killed it for me. Would not allow me to use my Apple ID to create an account so I had to use Google. Then during the onboarding, got hung up repeatedly when asking and giving access to the app on reminders, notifications, and calendar, consistently got hung up which I could only resolve with va forced shutdown. Then you have to start from the beginning. I am running the latest iOS and running it on a iPhone 13 so I don’t think it’s a specs issue. Disappointed. Update: changed rating to 4 stars. The developer reached out and genuinely wanted to make it right. After some discussion and insights on what is “under the hood” of the app, we resolved the issues. I’ll support anyone who is willing to fix a problem. Looking forward to using this app. ### 5/5 — Still loving this app, couple minor bugs *2025-03-15* These guys did it. This app makes convincing sounding news podcasts with various “correspondents” responsible for different news types. I can tailor how I want and even create custom podcasts which is arguably the most powerful feature. This is my first news listen every day now. One annoying bug is that it sometimes just stops playing between sections and you have to start it again but that’s minor. Incredible app, pocketpod! ### 5/5 — This app makes really convincing, multi-just podcasts *2025-03-04* Each hosts asks questions, plays off each other and other things you’d expect from a radio show except an AI made it just for you! I was a little disappointed that playing the episodes needs the app (they can be shared individually) as I was hoping to pony any podcast client to an RSS feed but man, this app works so well I’m overlooking that right now. Well done guys ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2025-02-21* Use it every day, great onboarding process ### 5/5 — good! *2025-02-17* A solid app with unique functionality. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-02-13* Really nice app, have enjoyed using and will continue to use for the long term future! ### 5/5 — Great everyday use *2025-02-13* I always use pocketpod on my daily walks whenever I find something interesting or a cool article that I want to learn more about. It’s super easy to use and is my go-to source of staying up to date. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game Changing Tool *2024-09-17* The ability to aggregate what you want daily‼️ Dope ### 5/5 — Incredible mind-blowing custom podcasts! *2024-08-27* The PocketPod app is my new daily go-to source for global news. The AI bespoke podcasts are hyper realistic, amazing engaging, incredibly informative, and fun. I could not recommend the app more - every entrepreneur, scientist, and engineer should listening to the custom-tailored PocketPod podcasts. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-08-25* Love getting my daily updates. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-23* I’ve been using this app nearly everyday. The customization is awesome - you create your own podcast from your interests. How can it get any better?! Well, you can also save articles you see on the web to PocketPod and it will incorporate them into your stream the next day. You can find that anywhere else. Excellent app - highly recommended! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
