I've been using this app for 7 years and I rarely find myself thinking, "I wish X could be better about this app." Good job y'all!
Every time the screen locks on my galaxy s20 this app stops playing... Just started doing this recently so I'm not sure if an update has affected this?
Looking for acast replacement. Too fiddly with patreon. Uninstalled edit: you can't just copy and paste the RSS feed in.
Need podcast categories please!
The search function is painfully slow at times, but that's really my only complaint. With Acast shutting down I needed a new app. This one frankly has even more features. Being able to manually sort my subscriptions is very nice.
Sign in button stays disabled on Samsung M30s. Been like that for months now. My podcast subscriptions are in my pocketcast account, otherwise would no have bothered. Pls do better.
Please add an option to only just download the audio and not the video. Other than that my experience has been great.
Love this app. Still the best podcast player out there. Easily organise all of my pods, automatically download and queue the ones I want so I never run out of things to listen to on my commute. The podcast app I recommend to everyone.
Loved everything about this one except I couldn't search for individual topics per episode. Just whole podcasts by title.
OK guys I don't understand all the hate. I love this app! They have all my favorite podcasts, it doesn't freeze or pause, and I don't have to download anything! People are complaining about the search bar but literally I searced up my favorite podcast, Dream Breachers, and when I typed it that was the first thing that came up! No bugs in the system and absolutely WONDERFUL! The audio played wonderfully, not buzzed out or hard to hear, unlike other apps I have used. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!
