So Close to Being Great!

They made this app accessible. It’s an amazing resource for podcast creators, but, despite having “Use Cellular data network” it streamed episodes that weren’t downloaded, during my workout.”

YOURE NOT ELGIBLE TO USE SPREAKER

RACIST BASTARDS

Podcast

Sean

Clearly show what’s PLAYED

Super frustrating I can’t sort by what’s unplayed

And what has been played is not obvious—- some podcasts are not necessarily listened to in order, this oversight makes me consider unsubscribing and suffering through the advertising

Please please please create an option to hide the played episodes

WTH!?

Im listening to an episode and the ads are literally speaking over the show! And I can’t pause the podcast because it pauses the commercials and if I skip it just skips the show and not the AD! Fix this!

Happy Everything’s fixed

So happy with so much about Spreaker. They fixed all the bugs I wanted them to, they made this app accessible & it’s an amazing resource for podcast creators.

Missing feature: Reset / Mark as Unplayed / Clear Progress

Spreaker iOS app permanently saves episode progress to the account, but there is no way to reset it.

There is no option to:
• Reset episode progress
• Mark episode as unplayed
• Clear listening position

Because of this, when listening to audiobooks or sequential content, episodes always resume from the middle, even if the user wants to listen again from the beginning. This makes re-listening almost impossible.

This should be a basic feature for any podcast / audiobook app. Please add:
• “Reset progress”
• or “Mark as unplayed”
• or “Clear episode progress”

Without this, the user loses control over playback.

Wonderful

You’re doing great job

Forced signup

As of 22/11/25 an account is required after not needing one for years, to download and listen to podcasts. Sad to go but have deleted the app.

Thank you for the fix! Now plays well with Apple

My goto application for one of the best podcasts there is, TST9Ryan Gable). Thank you for the fix!

Totally unusable

Recently app is freezing and even after closing down and restarting it still doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Hi there, can you please update the app and let us know if you still encounter issues?

Freezes. won’t load podcasts

I updated to the newest iOS and it freezes whenever I try to listen to Alex jones and anything else.

I love it but!

Just did a reinstall, 11/6/25. We shall see.
Still broke and zero response. For the past three days, all it does is hang when I open it, stays open for a couple of minutes and then crashes! I have done everything except reload the app. This is on multiple devices, same issue!
Sorry I had to downgrade my review, app is still not working. I have reinstalled it. It opens, but then freezes. Please repair this app.

Não está funcionado direito

Não consigo editar o áudio, fica travando no iOS…

Ótimo

Gosto muito do App, mas senti falta do sleep timer depois da última atualização. Vai retornar ou foi permanentemente retirado? Se voltar, vai para 5 ⭐️

Spreaker stole $443 from me.

I have 2 podcasts. I paid for marketing on both got valid impressions and they canceled my Ad Exchange and told me the money I made wasnt valid money. Stay away.

I'm a Bipolar Single Mother. Thats what my podcasts are mostly about. I lost my job in May due to a hospital stay and really believed I did a good thing with these podcasts. They also help me. I did valid marketing and people really took to my story. I now have to figure out how I am going to replace this money to feed my child. Well done, Spreaker. Samwel is the person who explained to me that what I was doing was wrong. If you didnt want to pay a small content creator, you could have just said that. But stealing, yikes.

Im now on Libsyn. I said I was going to take legal action, but I realize letting the Universe handle this one for me will be more fun. What can I say am also a highly spiritual Tarot reader? I know what happens when you do bad things, to good people.

*edit*

They keep saying I violated their policies. No problem Spreaker. Like I said, I’ll let the Universe handle this one for me. You say you all are not wrong. No problem, but i still have the right to share my horrible experience with your company. God bless.

English

I chose English as a language and Spanish stuff keeps playing. I cannot understand Spanish that’s why I chose English.

In app

Platform hides or shadow bands certain podcasts, cost per month is to high, not enough cost promotions for small podcasters
