Pods User Reviews

Solid but with issues

App frequently crashes, can’t import from a file, when importing from another app it will crash and only import a partial list. Unable to sort by last played podcast. Despite this it’s a simple layout not trying to do too much. Good looking app. And very layout.

Way Better Than Most

My all time favorite podcast is Mysterious Radio and this app updates their episodes quickly. There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to play an episode when you know it’s there. Thank you for the better listening experience.

One Star For Two Bugs

I cannot buy the in app purchase (literally unable to do so), nor can I reach out to the developers via the app. The majority of buttons in the settings are broken & do absolutely nothing. I NEVER give low reviews, but I’d like to actually be able to give this app a chance, provided they fix these bugs. Once these bugs are addressed, I will update my review. Overall, as a new user, it’s been pretty frustrating.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, that bug is solved now. Let us know if there is any other issues podsplayer@gmail.com

Perfect in every way including the icon

Now the app is perfect in every way including the icon

Poor sorting

Why can’t I have the latest episodes on top of the list? I thought that it was how it was supposed to be. I want the latest episodes on top the list. But that is not how it is. It’s more of clatter. Waste of my money

Response from developer

In playlist tab you can change settings for your play list and sort on latest episode. If it does not work its a crappy bug from our coders, that we need to fix. Thanks for your feedback. /Pods team

Almost perfect except one vital missing function

Been searching for an alternative to Apple’s native. This is closest thing to what I want, but the search function only supports title search (not episode description or content), which keeps me from upgrading and fully switching. There are other less important glitches and functions I’d like to see, but feedback button doesn’t even work.

Ok app... when it works

I really liked this app when I discovered it. It has some nice features and looks like it has potential to be my go-to podcast app.

The most recent updates have been frustrating, purging all my chosen podcasts and making me begin as though I never used the app. That was annoying, but something I was willing to accept since I never paid for the “pro” upgrade.

The MOST ANNOYING thing that the most recent upgrade has done is make the playing of podcasts unstable. Podcasts will simply and randomly STOP PLAYING in the middle of a program. This function is (duh) the prime purpose of the app, and it’s now somewhat broken. If you restart the app, you can continue listening to the cast where the app paused, but why should that be? While listening to a 30 minute podcast, this pause in the program can sometimes happen 4-5 times.

Rather than leave a review to complain about this, I originally thought I’d leave the developer feedback from either app. There IS a link within the app to do that, BUT IT IS A FUNCTION THAT ONLY WORKS FOR PRO USERS!!! (How crazy is that??)

I really want to continue liking this app, but if this pausing doesn’t get fixed soon (please please), I will be moving on.

Bugs bugs bugs

This app is extremely unstable in its current state. I opened the app and couldn’t even get the discover page to load no matter how many times I closed and went back. After I imported my podcasts and started playing one, the now playing screen is nowhere to be found!!

Too much work

That was the 2nd or 3rd time that an update lost all my bookmarked podcasts channels. It's come in handy at times over the past year, but overall, it's not worth the hassle to me anymore.

Waste of time and misleading.

Ended up paying the $1.99 to “unlock” features. Have a Ben Shapiro podcast in “my playlists” that I didn’t add and CAN’T DELETE!! Also can’t add podcasts I’m subscribed to with a url. Thankful I only wasted $1.99.

Nice ideas

I like the topics they cover. Never heard another podcast like this. Pretty imaginative

Crashes every time

And app support is in Swedish app art from two words: offline & podcast. How does using google translate make the app crash?

Response from developer

I use Google Translate :) maybe i missed som texts?

Mediocre

Not very intuitive, glitches, no settings. Found something else better

Clutter

Not very user friendly. There’s no single screen of your favorites or any clear way to manage your list of podcasts. I’m deleting it

No podcasts

I downloaded this app and saved some favs. BUT nothing downloads or plays, NOTHING. No menu or settings to offer any advice. When I save, it makes like 5 copies. I Amy not be doing this right but there is no info to assist me.

Unusable

Shows the same episode multiple times.

Wouldn’t even load

Spent 15 minutes waiting for it to even load to check it out and gave up. Deleted.

Works, simple, has skip

While using Bluetooth, audio stops when Waze has a turn/alert notification, it stops the pod player, and you have to pause & play to resume podcast playing.
Also the forward /back button on Bluetooth controller doesn’t do anything to pods app, it should skip forward/back when pressed.

Interface is clean and simple, I like that I can discover more podcasts out there.
