Please fix. ### 2/5 — App doesn’t work well *2024-02-18, version 3.8.5* I’m new to the app. I followed a couple of podcasts. I downloaded or “made available offline” several episodes of each. When you are on a given show’s page and viewing its lists of episodes, there is an indicator that you have at least started to listen to a particular episode but there is no distinction between the episodes you have already downloaded and those you haven’t (but have not yet started to listen to). Also, on one of the podcasts I followed, when you go to its list of episodes under “Offline Episodes” none of the episodes have its title and short description. That field is blank. You can still click on it and it will play for you, but even on that page as it’s playing, the info is blank. On the other podcast I followed, the episodes I downloaded show up on its offline episodes page but I don’t believe they actually downloaded as they won’t play at all. It just spins and spins when you try to listen. Unfortunately, this was a very poor start when trying out this new app to me. I will likely just go back to relying on Apple Podcasts for my offline listening. Disappointed. ### 4/5 — Fluidity *2024-02-05, version 3.8.5* My suggestion would be to create a more fluid transition between uploading and editing your podcast. The first few times were really simple and then something fell apart and I was unable to upload the audio files unless I published even though I was not ready to release it. I love the sound quality and the simplicity of it all. Also is there anyway to combine both platforms into one podcast app for an easier user experience and interface? Thank you guys for responding to my questions so quickly each time I reach out to you! You're the best! ### 3/5 — useless *2023-09-17, version 3.8.3* cannot create account using voiceover. ### 4/5 — Really loved *2023-05-12, version 3.8.3* I wish more DJ’s post in this app is been working for so many years and loved ### 2/5 — Interface unsafe when driving *2023-03-12, version 3.8.3* Who ever thought a circle to control forward and backwards to change the track location is an idiot. Sound quality is very good. Don’t use this app when driving if you like to repeat a section of a track. Difficult to use the circle. ### 2/5 — No more Update *2022-12-02, version 3.8.2* It seems that the DJ’s stop using this service!. I used to like this app because I can transfer most of the podcast to Apple Podcasts Oficial, but now they stop using and it seems that the apps don’t do anything to keep the DJ or creators in their service ### 3/5 — Very Basic Podcast App *2022-04-16, version 3.7.0* It’s lacking some key features and needs a UI update. One feature I wish it had was the ability to change the sort order of episodes in a podcast. ### 2/5 — Stops frequently. Life is too short for quality this low *2022-01-26, version 3.7.0* How can this be a podcast app when it can’t effectively play podcasts? I know it’s free, but I’m sure this contravenes trade description laws. ### 5/5 — Great site! *2021-08-27, version 3.7.0* Great selection of podcasts!! Especially the music ones!! ### 5/5 — Just eye CU *2021-08-20, version 3.7.0* LOVE PODOMATIC. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ### 5/5 — Podomatic is simply exceptional. *2021-06-06, version 3.7.0* Podomatic is a great place to share your creativity with the world as well as take part in others creativity. Their podcasting platform is excellent and super easy to use. As the creator of the 18 Karat Reggae podcast (podomatic.com/tcooo), we have not only been able to reach thousands of reggae fans on podomatic but it is also where we discovered other great reggae podcast like House Of Reggae. ### 5/5 — The “Most” *2021-04-28, version 3.7.0* Love this App! Easy to navigate... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fair-Poor Player. No CarPlay. Logs out frequently. Forgetful user interface. Otherwise it plays OK *2026-01-11, version 3.8.8* I tolerate this music player yo get specific content not available elsewhere, otherwise I wouldn’t use it. There’s no CarPlay interface, so I must manually start playing with my iPhone before driving. 👎👎👎 The app is extremely security conscious and log out after a few days. 👎👎👎 There’s no option to ‘stay logged in’ 👎👎👎 When I re-enter the app, it doesn’t remember which artist I was playing. 👎👎👎 Otherwise it plays music good, but that’s pretty simple isn’t it?! ### 1/5 — Janky *2025-08-20, version 3.8.6* The app signs you out within a few hours, does not keep your place in a given episode, and has a bad interface. Not good unless you have to use it to access content not available elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-08-26, version 3.8.5* I am very disappointed that this app does not have a setting that allows you to reverse the order of the podcast episodes. The podcast episodes wanted to listen to was a series of several years long, after scrolling for several minutes I finally gave up. This forces a person to listen to all the episodes in reverse. I’m not impressed. ### 1/5 — Podomatic would like to send you notifications *2023-06-17, version 3.8.3* Podomatic would like to send you notifications ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2022-10-13, version 3.8.1* Won’t even let you log in from the beginning..tried google log in and Facebook log in. Neither will work. Not much of an app if you can’t even log into it!! ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up *2022-05-10, version 3.7.0* Error: internal error registering user. Table ‘omatic_production.versions’ doesn’t exist. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-02-23, version 3.7.0* Tried to several podcasts from programes that i definatly know are on here,but they don’t play,i use another podcaster now. ### 1/5 — Low Rent App *2020-10-02, version 3.6.1* Looks like an app for those creators unwilling to give listeners modern / high quality podcast access. No ability to mark podcasts as “listened to” - only disappear from upcoming library if you play the full podcast. Lots of other poor user experiences. I only use it because I need to listen to a particular podcast (only available on this app). ### 1/5 — Popups on every start *2020-10-02, version 3.6.1* Every single time I open the app, I’m prompted to turn on push notifications. Every single time. No, I don’t want them on, and asking every single time has motivated me to leave a one-star rating. ### 1/5 — Djdoug2 *2020-06-17, version 3.5.0* I’ve had the app for a few years now. But it stopped working. Won’t let me login. It just spins and never connects. I’m very Disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-29, version 3.9.1* Best podcast app ever 1 it does not spy on you 2 it’s easy to use 3 it’s free ——- do not listen to the haters who say bad stuff about this app it is amazing. ### 5/5 — You Made My Day Excellent *2025-11-30, version 3.8.6* Hi I love this app This is the best one a friend show me this from school Thank You ### 5/5 — The Caving Podcast *2025-03-11, version 3.8.6* Every episode is so enjoyable for me because Matt Pelsor really helps his listeners get to know the folks he interviews. The PodOmatic Podcast Player is totally easy to use after multiple updates through several years through 2 iPhones I have used. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-05-20, version 3.8.5* Great app. ### 5/5 — Brings me home *2022-08-27, version 3.8.0* Some of the music mixes take me back in the day! ### 5/5 — Great Platform for free speech! *2022-06-27, version 3.8.0* Thank you for supporting Richie Allen. Long may it last 👏🏻🤩 ### 5/5 — PODOMATIC AND PODCAST ENTHUSIAST TEACHERS *2022-06-02, version 3.8.0* SINCE I DECIDED TO OBTAIN THIS WELL ENDOWED APP IT HAS NOT LET ME DOWN ON MY EXPERIENCES & EXPECTATIONS LISTENERS CAN LEARN FROM THE FACILITATORS VIEWS ### 5/5 — Great app, but works poorly on iPhones *2022-04-13, version 3.7.0* As great app, but certain features respond slowly or are invisible on my iPhone SE. If it worked flawlessly then it would be awesome ### 5/5 — Wow! *2021-11-05, version 3.7.0* Such powerful sound and beauty talent with the creative she once was as a baby! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-10, version 3.7.0* This app brings me memories and absolute joy having all these djs playing my kind of music.
