### 1/5 — Good idea but no one is active

*2025-01-28, version 2021.11*

^

### 3/5 — Mind of its own

*2024-07-22, version 2021.11*

I enjoy the interface 75% of the time; the other 25%, it doesn't load properly!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-02-13, version 2021.11*

I have been waiting for episodes to download for days now. It’s no good having people recommend episodes when you can’t download them. It’s so bad it’s made me go back to Apple Podcasts

### 5/5 — My favourite app

*2022-12-24, version 2021.11*

I love this app so much ! I recommend it to everyone. Is there a desktop app ?

### 5/5 — Highly recommend! My favorite app.

*2022-09-30*

Love this app! Great recommendations and easy to use if you’re looking for new podcasts. I use it every day and definitely my go to for my pod obsession.

### 1/5 — Deceptive

*2022-07-01, version 2021.11*

I wanted podcast recommendations not a whole frickin’ social network

### 3/5 — Good App, But Missing Podcasts

*2022-05-20, version 2021.11*

It’s a good app, but:
- can’t find all podcasts that you can in other apps (like in Google Podcasts).
- also weird that the cover arts for some podcasts is different than what it is in other podcast apps.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-03-03, version 2021.11*

I’ve found so many good podcasts through this app, and I enjoy having a way to keep track of what I have listened to. My only complaint is that it does have Spotify exclusive podcasts listed.

### 3/5 — Good idea, underdeveloped

*2021-08-11*

The interface of this app doesn’t make a ton of sense to me. How am I supposed to find new people to follow? Why can’t I give negative feedback? I feel like this has so much potential to be a cool space to actually discuss podcasts with nuance but right now it’s pretty limiting and using it is not a super rewarding experience. :/

### 5/5 — Great podcast player and community

*2021-06-02*

I love using the Podyssey player on both my iPad and iPhone. Plus it has a very positive community where I have found and given some great recommendations.

It is nice to be able to share my thoughts and discuss podcasts with others to being the podcast listening experience full circle and interactive.
