It seemed like this was the tool I was looking for, and it probably is. There is a problem though. I'm blind and use the VoiceOver screen reader to access my iPhone. The tabs of the app which has the info on an episode like summary, transcript, show notes etc, does not render correctly with this screen reader. All of the tabs appear to be selected at once through VoiceOver. Selecting a tab does not cause the screen reader to recognize that the content has been updated. What this means is that I am only able to access the show notes and though the summaries show up when that tab is selected visually, they're not accessible with a screen reader. Since the app will not allow me to access this core feature, I'm not able to use the app. I'm glad I can still generate transcripts with another app which I can then get a summary for from something like ChatGPT, but this would have saved me some steps. ### 2/5 — Good functions but unstable, some podcast cannot play on ios. Dense UI, not good for UX *2025-04-12* Function is good, translation, live script. However, if you cannot,plau pod cast to listen that would be useless. UI has many small button which is diffucult to click amd dense UI stress user. I am not an young man but still easily to click on some buttons next to each other. ### 3/5 — Unique service *2025-03-14* Great app but a bit clunky. Often loses track of podcast podcast between listening sessions. ### 4/5 — Speed Change *2026-01-25* I use it for learning English. Could you please support changing the talking speed? ### 4/5 — Amazing research tool. Ok pod player *2025-08-11* Starting with the overwhelming positive, if you use podcasts for research and knowledge this can’t be beat. Core advantages over most: 1. Web view. Being able to use in browser is a godsend. 2. Export to obsidian. Couple clicks and it’s in your vault. 3. Class leading summary. I’ve used a few ai apps for podcasts and this does I think the best job or parsing information. The chat feature is also great. 4. It looks better than them all lol. The not so positive: 1. As an everyday podcast player it is only ok. Perhaps not even that. It’s obvious where the efforts have gone, into making this more of a reading app than listening. 2. Earphone integration. It just doesn’t work properly. You have to keep opening your phone to do what you need in terms of play pause, skip etc. 3. Customisation of granular play details is lacking, watch integration etc. and the way it handles episodes in the player just doesn’t not make sense. In short, it’s almost perfect, if they think of it as an audio app from here on out and streamline it it will decimate all. As a research tool it kills the alternatives, but you couldn’t recommend it to someone to just “listen” to podcasts ### 4/5 — Overall it’s very useful app guys but *2025-01-28* If you add a YouTube link and play the video after 10 seconds, it automatically stops playing every time. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you find the app useful. We've fixed the YouTube video playback issue in our latest update. Please check for the update and let us know if you encounter any more issues. ### 5/5 — Amazing AI Podcast *2025-06-29* This AI podcast app is killer with its mind-blowing mind map and instant transcript downloads, but it’s pricey. A grid view would be awesome, too. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-22* Great app supporting importing podcasts from YouTube and Xiaoyuzhou ### 5/5 — Best Podcast App I've Used! *2024-12-19* This app is a game-changer! Podwise helps me get through my podcast queue so much faster. The AI features are brilliant. Glad it's on iOS now. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
