Perfect for the minimalist man
I love this app. From using Apple Podcasts to Spotify music, I have heated every interface that I have ever used when listening to my favourite podcasts. Until this app came along, it is brilliant in every way that I could possibly think of and allows me to listen to my podcast without even having to think about the next thing, the only thing that I wish I could make this better is being able to discover more podcasts.

Not working
Very buggy and not working
How is the app so good š«Ŗ
I swear to god I am not lying when I say this is one of the MOST thoughtfully crafted app on the App Store right now, itās just no clutter and does exactly what it says it does and it is so great I seriously canāt recommend any other podcast app
Great concept but buggy
Love the concept and design but ran into multiple visual and functional bugs that impact daily use. Hope dev continues to polish.
Beautiful
How about a setting to disable auto downloads completely?
Awesome App
I love this app. Great concept and nice look and feel.
Just want to mention that I think I found a bug. The sleep timer works like expected but after the timer is done, the episode jumps back to the time where it has started. Itās a little bit annoying to forward manually the next day.

Response from developer
Thank you! The sleep timer progress being reset after the timer is over is intentional, so that you can still listen to the part you might have missed when you fell asleep, some people prefer that. But makes total sense that itās kinda subjective and maybe we need a setting! :)
Wonderful Podcast App!
This is a beautifully designed podcast with no bloat. The only thing I miss is being able to sort episodes oldest to newest. If Iām giving a new podcast a shot I tend to listen to early episodes first. But, thatās a small nitpick. For us minimalists, it really is a joy to use.
Response from developer
Thank you so much! Iāll consider the suggestion :)
High quality app, hindered by bugs
I bought a yearly subscription for this app and like supporting the developer. This is clearly crafted with a lot of attention and care and I really enjoy the opinionated take on a podcasting app. One long queue is what most people need and the app gets out of the way.
However, Iāve been using the app for months and the app is riddled with bugs that get in the way of the listening experience.
- Resuming podcast from headset donāt work as the app seem to malfunction in the background. I have to force kill the app many times per week.
- Auto-download in the background doesnāt work so your podcasts arenāt ready to go.
- The feed UI often ends up with blank spaces due to a bug
- Feedback button doesnāt work unless you have Apple Mail installed
- In-frequent crashes, but still too often
Other than the bugs, the only thing Iād like to see added is a way to let the queue stay in chronological order. Itās a bit weird to have a backlog of podcasts only for the newest one to be added first in the queue. For episodic podcast it means you have to end up reordering your queue quite a bit. I respect the opinionated take of the app but Iād still love to see this added in some way.
I listen to hours of podcasts a week, but I donāt need much more than what Queue offers. I had to jump back to Pocket Casts simply for the reliability.
Cheering for the app and Iām glad I paid for a yearly subscription still.

Beautiful indeed, but nothing more.
If you want a good queuing experience youāre way better off with Castro or Pocket Casts. This app purely looks good but is no fun to use, lacks functionality and has a high monthly price for pretty basic features.
The app is purely designed for looks but pretty unusable for the enthusiast listener it is marketed for.
The idea with only one queue only works for people who have their podcasts well curated and pretty much only listen to the same shows but for heavy use its just not well built. You can only see 3-4 episodes in the queue, carplay is clunky, resuming listening on airpods works only half of the time and managing episodes is a nightmare of a hundred interactions.

Love it but too fast
Great app but I struggle with hearing. Any chance you could add a couple of slower playback speeds eg 0.9, 0.8 and 0.7?
Bockmist
1. Deutscher Programmierer, aber keine deutsche Lokalisation. Ich setze mich doch nicht mit dem Wƶrterbuch hin um die Bedienung der App zusammen zu rƤtseln.
2. Als ich dann ausloggen /Konto lƶschen wollte, tat der Button: nichts!
Abo-Falle? Abzocke?
Bei manchen Apps habe ich den Eindruck, das die Entwickler nur fĆ¼r sich arbeiten. Nicht fĆ¼r einen Markt bzw. andere.
So ist es wohl auch hier.

Besser als Apple Podcast
Ich benutze seit Ewigkeiten Apple Podcast und bin damit auch relativ zufrieden. Es macht genau was es soll, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Und genau auf dieser App habe ich āSchleifenquadratā, den MacLife Podcast gehƶrt (sehr empfehlenswert fĆ¼r alle Apple-Fans), in dem du der Entwickler interviewt wurde. Anfangs noch etwas skeptisch, weil Apple Podcast ja eigentlich ganz gut ist, habe ich mir Queue mal runtergeladen.
Und war geflasht. Die App ist ziemlich intuitiv und eben clean gestaltet und doch ist es so viel angenehmer zu nutzen als alle anderen Podcast-Apps. Und die Flaggen wehen sogar š
Ansonsten wĆ¼rde ich vielleicht noch Kategorien in der suche vorschlagen. Aber ansonsten? Eine top App!

Danke dir fĆ¼r das nette Review, freut mich sehr dass dir die App gefƤllt! :) Kategorien in der Suche sind ein gute Idee.
Good work!
Top Design 10/10. A little laggy and little warm my iPhone 15 pro max. But I hope fixes in futures updates. Great work. This app is amazing!
Response from developer
Thank you so much! Will try to make your phone less warm!
Has become my default podcast app
Heard about it through a friend and will be telling all my friends about it. Great ui, super smooth to use. Is there going to be a Mac App with handoff because that would be amazing! Looking forward to seeing everything you build!
Response from developer
Awesome to hear youāre enjoying Queue! Iām currently not planning a Mac app but I will add syncing which might enable multi-platform use as a side effect :)
Nice app
I like the app and the animations, especially when you first open the app. Would like to see a onetime lifetime purchase option and the option not to use an account if not already implemented. Other than that great job.
Response from developer
Glad you like the app! Iāll consider a lifetime purchase option. You can already use the app without an account :)
Looking forward to checking out future versions
I think this is a great start on an alternative that the App Store really needs. I do hope there is an iPad app in the future, and then I will be more inclined to switch from Overcast. Iām sorry, but I cannot currently support chapter markers being behind a paywall. I hope you reconsider this in the future. Also, the Log Out and Delete Account features do not work (neither button does anything).

Thank you for the review! Iāll consider your suggestions and will look into the bugs you mentioned!
I want to love it, it's just not quite there for me
I really like this app - it's just missing one feature that I use a lot. I use transcripts to click past things like sponsors, which I can't do here. I can skip forward manually, it's just not as simple.
It does support chapters, but the podcasts I listen to don't have them unfortunately.
That is the only thing I don't like about Queue. The interface is amazing and much nicer than any other podcast app I've used.

Good but not $30 good
To the developer(s):
You have a good app, but with established podcast players like Overcast which has great features, and only charges HALF of what you do, you need to rethink your pricing strategy.

Response from developer
Hey, thank you for the feedback! I think great design itself is worth charging for, and singing up for the pro version is completely optional. That being said, I regularly revisit the price and might make changes :)
Super App aber nur fĆ¼r das iPhone
Die App ist top. Design und FunktionalitƤt ist gegeben aber leider fehlt mir eine watchOS und macOS App, sowie CarPlay UnterstĆ¼tzung da ich Podcasts sehr gerne auch auf anderen Apple GerƤten hƶre.
Response from developer
Danke dir! CarPlay UnterstĆ¼tzung ist bereits in Arbeit :)
Excellent app
I love supporting indie devs and this app is worth supporting; itās fantastic! The only thing that would make this app perfect is the option to undo accidental scrubbing through a podcast. This feature is in Overcast and Iāve come to really love it as I do this a lot!
Response from developer
Thank you so much! Iāll consider adding undo scrubbing, great idea :)
