### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-07-22, version 1.0*

I am a new podcast listener and I love this app. It is very easy to use yet feature rich. Love smart playlists. Highly recommended.

### 2/5 — Poor Search

*2016-03-24, version 1.4*

I love how with the Apple offical podcast app, when I do a search, if my search term is in the podcast eppisode title, those come up.  Yet with podbox when I search on a term it seams to only do searches on the podcast name.  For example, I search on an author I like, Peter Boghossian, 31 episodes come up in the Apple official podcast app,  (16 in Stitcher and 16 in TuneIn) yet when I try in podbox, nothing comes up.

### 2/5 — Want to like it, but can't

*2015-11-11, version 1.4*

Simple interface. But crashes frequently and "already played" button doesn't work. So it keeps re-downloading podcasts I listened to months ago. Deleting.

### 3/5 — Requires Already Listened

*2015-05-17, version 1.3*

I like the clean design of the app and wouldn't be looking for a new one if it weren't for:
After I delete or skip a podcast, the app downloads it again and requeues it
No landscape view
Not a bad  app, just  needs  some  work.

### 4/5 — It is great!

*2018-06-22, version 2.0*

I really like this app. Unfortunately I cannot search for podcasts in other languages (in my case - Russian).

### 5/5 — 💓So Much

*2022-12-15, version 2.0*

Simple.Streamlined.Easy.Just play what I want to hear. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-04-26, version 2.0*

Easy and perfect

### 5/5 — Great, simple player!

*2017-10-06, version 2.0*

I’ve been very unhappy using Apple’s player due to its handling and displaying of played episodes, so I searched the App Store for an alternative.

Podbox was exactly what I hoped for. It has a clean and simple interface and makes playing my favorite podcasts a breeze. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-05-01, version 1.4*

I absolutely love this app.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2015-06-26, version 1.4*

Works fine

### 5/5 — Best free podcast manager

*2015-01-21, version 1.2*

PodBox is most similar to PodCruncher, which, in my opinion, is the best paid podcast app available. PodBox has a clean minimalist interface, and it has enough features to satisfy most users. Overall, it's a big step up from the default "Podcasts" app, and, for the time being, it's the best free podcast manager currently available.

Fast smooth and easy to use. Can't ask for anything more!  Great app!

### 5/5 — Worth my money

*2014-07-31, version 1.0*

New podcast user, was shuffling among Apps before settling on this one.. Blown away by neat and simple interface.. Love the download speed.. Very selective on paid Apps but this was worth the money.. Highly recommend to other listener..

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-07-27, version 1.0*

I was using downcast for all my podcasts now using this player updates for podcasts are lightning fast

### 5/5 — Lightening fast

*2014-07-25, version 1.0*

Refreshes 25+ podcasts in under 2 min. Episode download is super fast as well. Very intuitive design that makes this App fun and easy to use.
