### 5/5 — The best

*2019-04-04, version 1.1.2*

The design is sleek. The podcasts are good. It’s easy to navigate. What more could you want from a podcast app?

### 5/5 — Fantastic content and fantastic app

*2019-03-16, version 1.1.2*

The curated content is amazing and always offers a wide selection of interesting topics weekly and without fail. The app is like a free magazine for podcast enthusiasts. The presentation is minimalistic and alluring which is quite inviting for podcast newbies. If you like podcasts or want to start your podcast listening journey, you owe it to yourself to pick this app up and check out it’s content.

### 5/5 — Mind Blown!

*2019-03-14, version 1.1.2*

Gave this app a try as I’ve wanted to listen to podcasts without knowing what and how. The curation is brilliant, the presentation better still. My first chosen podcast was about anthropology (something I’d never have searched for) and has inspired me to listen to more. Truly fantastic app!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-01-17, version 1.1.2*

Wilson is what podcasting is missing. So much noise out there, so little signal. Wilson is all signal.

### 5/5 — Best Addition to my Podcast Library

*2019-01-02, version 1.1.2*

My experience using Wilson has been nothing but positive—I have listened to many well-produced, well-researched podcasts taking Wilson's suggestions. 

The categories of podcasts are timely and interesting. I am never at a loss for a podcast to catch my ear. They have listings for every mood & interest. Thanks, Wilson!

### 5/5 — Stunning design and alluring content

*2018-12-27, version 1.1.2*

Some designers don’t need to write case studies to convince you that their design is “amazing”. Instead, they punch you in the face with the evidence that needs no blogging about. This app is pure art, visibly driven by love, true passion and hate for generic trends. And then, there’s content - curated by genius info addicts paradise. Subjects ranging from marginal obscurities to fundamental, life-relating issues.

The app’s an absolute stunner with addictive personality. Life-enriching stuff. Thank you, Wilson peeps.

Hey, podcast-lover - without this one installed, how can you claim you’re one?

### 5/5 — Amazing UX

*2018-12-02, version 1.1.2*

What a great experience and idea.

### 5/5 — Download please.

*2018-12-02, version 1.1.2*

Really enjoying the app but please add the ability to download episodes.

### 5/5 — Really beautiful app

*2018-12-02, version 1.1.2*

This is such a beautifully designed app, loving the podcast selection so far, thank you for making this app I never write reviews but I’m really enjoying the app

### 5/5 — Best way to find new podcasts

*2018-10-20, version 1.1.2*

I love getting my Wilson issues. Pair it with another app for your regular listens and you’re all set. This is definitely the best way to find new podcasts and listen to experts on themes you’d never know about otherwise.

### 5/5 — Just great.

*2018-10-10, version 1.1.1*

I love this app!

### 5/5 — Made me love podcasts

*2018-09-27, version 1.1.1*

This made me start listening to appreciating podcast, while exploring and discovering topics that I wouldn’t know I’d be interested in. Would love to have a favorite function to revisit earlier podcasts that I loved.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stale

*2023-01-19, version 1.1.2*

Hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2020-04-23, version 1.1.2*

This used to be one of my favorite apps. A great selection of podcasts episodes that often led me to discovering entire podcast series that Now there is no new content so it’s been a bit of a bummer! Will update this to 5 stars once the content starts again or when there is at least some kind of update on status.

### 1/5 — Very liberal biased

*2019-05-21, version 1.1.2*

Whole themes focused on liberal politics, women's rights, and companies that also lean left like Kickstarter.

### 1/5 — Good app but chewed through all my data

*2018-11-17*

While I liked this app, I listened to 20mins of one podcast and it chewed through over 1gb of data

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-10-05, version 1.1.1*

The app was decent until they got political.

### 1/5 — data hog

*2018-09-18, version 1.1.1*

decided to use the app on my way to work, and in a matter of minutes it consumed 2.5GB of my cellular data, completely depleting my monthly limit. not sure what happened, or if the app decided to download every episode it has.

it's a shame, cause the concept and design of the app is hugely appealing to me.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work period    ☹︎

*2018-07-19, version 1.0.3*

I was looking forward to using this app but can't even get to first base when opening.  Just shows a blank screen with Wilson in upper corner.  This must be an alpha release. It should not be released until it works.  Sad

### 3/5 — Truly one of a kind

*2019-04-08, version 1.1.2*

The app is great, the design is stunning. That being said, there are some logistical things left to be desired. When the Apple logo link is pressed in app, it would be nice to be redirected to the specific episode page, not just the home page of the podcast. Also, push notifications for new issues ! 

Keep up the great work, team!

### 3/5 — Needs offline listening.

*2018-07-13, version 1.0.2*

The concept and design of the app is great. Episodes are generally released with a theme and the app helps you discover new podcasts but not having the ability to download episodes for offline listening is a huge oversight. Hopefully this will be implemented soon, cause I can’t take advantage of this app where I would want to (work) until it is.

### 4/5 — Dope.

*2019-05-07, version 1.1.2*

Dope app with a different take on the conventional podcast app. My only feedback is that retrieving Now Playing info is hard to do. I sometimes like to explore the app while I'm listening and if I want to rewind/FF, I have to remember where the episode is.

### 5/5 — I miss this app so much it hurts

*2024-02-06*

Sometimes I open it to read “we’ll be right back” and finally feel something (pain).

### 5/5 — Love this and miss this

*2023-07-29, version 1.1.2*

Such a beautiful mag. Why did it end? Maybe weekly is too much - monthly? Come back. Help us navigate and learn. Challenge us. Inspire us. We miss you x

### 5/5 — Please come back :-(

*2023-01-21, version 1.1.2*

Wilson developers! Pleaseee keep updating the app, even just once a month. Literally one of the best apps ever made! We miss you :-(

### 5/5 — C’mon boys

*2023-01-17, version 1.1.2*

Pull the finger out. Get back on the horse. Saddle up the pony. Wipe away your tears. Get moving!! I have been patient but my patience is waning

### 5/5 — Wow, awesome UI

*2022-10-10, version 1.1.2*

I have not listened to many podcasts on this app but I am in love with the different design of the UI here.
Make more of these type of apps

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-01-05, version 1.1.2*

Great collection of very relevant and well curated podcasts. I wish more such apps existed on the AppStore. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2020-09-05, version 1.1.2*

This app is like a black door that stands solitary in the middle of nowhere.

### 5/5 — The best app I never thought I needed

*2020-01-26, version 1.1.2*

I could have wasted time scouring the internet looking for some mention of a new podcast That promised a lot but eventually delivered little, and disappointed. Wilson is the friend you had in high school or college whose taste reflected yours. In a word, trustworthy, smart and curious. I’m thankful for this work.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2020-01-04, version 1.1.2*

I love this app, in concept and form, beautifully executed. It is a great way to discover new podcasts and explore a theme from multiple angles.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-05-27, version 1.1.2*

For anyone looking for podcast suggestions! I look forward to these articles to see what interesting and helpful recommendations they have. I’m very glad something like this exists for podcasts.

One suggestion: Unless I’ve missed a way to view it, it would be cool to see what date each article was published. Cheers for the great app!
