My favorite podcast app, but with a few crashes

I’ve been using this app for years. I love that it can be set to download the latest episodes automatically. It can also be set to delete items in the queue when it has ended. My favorite thing is that the queue stays put no matter what. This means that if I accidentally tap a slow a few places down, it DOESN’T REMOVE everything above it, including the show I was in the middle of listening to. This is something that drives me CRAZY about most of the other popular media players. I like the latest addition of suggesting podcasts, BUT on a different screen that I never have to look at if I don’t want to.
My only issue is that the app crashes/won’t run whenever I turn my phone to portrait mode, (which happens to me A LOT!!) Other than that, this app is a PERFECT 5 stars!! PLEASE don’t take any of your current features away.

Was… Favourite Podcast app!

Edit. I don’t mind adverts. But you need to make sure you don’t use an advert supplier that links to viruses and malware.



I’ve tried all of the big Podcast apps and this is by far my favourite. Has all of the features I need. Most importantly the audio compression feature - because podcast creators don’t seem to know how to balance sound this is essential for me.
Also allowing what order to sort podcasts in! Great.

It is gone now

This app was dropping the feed steadily. And complaining about how hard it had to work tracking ALL those podcasts and episodes!
My wife’s phone has the default Apple app and it doesn’t complain, doesn’t drop the feed, has as many podcasts, and uses only about 40% as much storage.

最近になって再生中に突然落ちる。

もうこのアプリを使って7年程になるが、最近、ポッドキャスト再生中に突然アプリが落ちる様になってしまいました。早くアップルデートで直して欲しい。

Response from developer

Daily Beans & Unjustified

Downloads are not timely. And other issues.

とても便利なポッドキャスト プレイヤーです

これ以上の機能は追加は必要ないのでは。とても使い勝手が良いです。

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! We're delighted to hear you're finding the app convenient and easy to use. We appreciate your support and are glad RSSRadio is working so well for you.

a bunch of my podcasts disappeared

I can’t even add them back

Sehr gute App

Vermutlich habe ich jede Podcast App ausprobiert, aber dieser hier ist am besten. Die Navigation und der Aufbau sind klar strukturiert und sehr intuitiv. Das Design ist ansprechend und es lässt sich vieles konfigurieren, ohne das man den Überblick verliert. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Softwareprodukt!

Verbesserung: Auf der Podcast Seite wäre es toll, wenn Mann die Kategorien ein- und ausklappen und Kategorien sortieren könnte.

Danke

Hi

Pueden agregar el podcast de momento decisivo

Great app but…..

I love this podcast app and have used it for years. That being said, they sure do consistently find ways to break something with every update. The latest major update made it so that you can no longer see the length of podcasts in your playlist queue. It sounds kind of petty, but I used that feature all the time to know if I had enough podcasts queued. The information is still there, but all you can read is one digit. There is no way to tap and see the rest of the information.

日本語で検索しづらくなった

新しいポッドキャストを検索する際に、日本語を入力してもほとんど表示されなくなってしまった。そのため、最近は、別の場所でrssのパスを確認したうえで、それをコピーアンドペーストしている。そこが改善されれば使い勝手が良いアプリなのだが。

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We recently made improvements to search in the latest version. We suggest updating to the newest release. If you have the same experience, please reach out to us at Settings > Contact Support with a few details.

Looks good, but has issues.

I like the layout of this player more than any other. Unfortunately, the player just stops playing for no reason and you have to type the play button twice. Other issues also on IOS.

My Most Used App

I have used this app every day since downloading it in 2016.

It is by far my most used app. After a series of nonsensical updates I find myself considering alternatives.

The app will just stop playing a podcast. It’ll just stop. The one thing it should do, it’ll just stop doing.

This is a five star app with a two star mindset.

It's good

Shuts down during a call and resumes afterward. It's not loud enough to hear without 'phones in many situations, but I guess that's Apple's fault.

Perfect

Great fur not just podcasts but adding Dropbox files for audio listening

Was great…

I stopped my subscription. I used to love it, but recent bugs made me think it was worth the cost, so for now just using the iOS Podcast app.

Oh no! Porn sites being advertised. Disgusting and repulsive.

I reviewed this player and now must change my review. The advertising is obnoxious and when I see porn site advertising the app automatically gets the “delete” treatment. Been using the app for years. Disgusting, repulsive, and sad.

Purchased this years ago, was great. Lots of issues on IOS

Still like it, like how it looks, but it just randomly stops playing and you have to pause it and hit play again to get it to work. Not great for hands free anymore.

Was great 🥲

Been using this for years, was a perfect podcast app, never needed anything else. Sadly the latest update has killed it. Just quits back to Home Screen on opening now, even after deleting and reinstalling. Resorting to Apple’s native podcast player now. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon but been a good few days and no fix. Using IPhone X/10.

Update: a good few days later, still crashing out, still no fix 😢

Ahh, this used to be developed by a very competent and conscientious individual, but looks like it has been acquired by a larger app company now. I imagine this will be the end of frequent and useful updates and the introduction of bugs and intrusive monetisation. Shame, hope they paid him well for his outstanding work, but I imagine this will be the death of another good app.

Still no update to fix this. Developer response says get latest version…I have that. They also say go to the settings in the app to get help…lol, the app closes before I can navigate anywhere to do that. My last point proven I think, not read my message properly and replied with copy/paste response.
