    Playing through speaker, would start stuttering. Loading recent episodes takes very long.

    Worst update may 2024 removed all my account data due to new cloud sync Was user for 3 years , Need to find a new app that won’t lose all my information
  • Needs CarPlay

    I love so many of the features. I’ve paid for PlayerFM for multiple years now. It’s the best podcast app that syncs your phone’s podcast Library to streaming through their web app. Unfortunately now I primarily listen in the car and without CarPlay functionality I’ve started to look at alternatives.
  • User Friendly !

    I find this app to be the best all around. The selections of material are endless and timeless. The player offers many features sure to fill the needs of all. Five Stars!
  • Great podcast library but too many ads

    The app was perfect 2-3 years ago then went downhill when they started adding more pop ups and paid advertisements
  • App subscribed you to unwanted podcasts

    By ReallyLobTwerkin
    The app started subscribing me to random podcasts and downloaded episodes without my permission. Taking up very limited iPhone storage space.
  • Episode advancement issue

    1
    By Bcbease
    When I start listening to a podcast that has several seasons, this app screws it up. I start at Season 1, Episode 1, but every time the episode ends, it goes to Season 2, Episode 1 instead of S1E2.
  • Terrible UI and doesn’t always save your place

    2
    By curious adventurer
    A couple times per week, it starts the podcast over from the beginning rather than continuing where I left off. Very frustrating! Terrible UI UX and flow. Very difficult to find the screen with podcast controls such as forward 10 second and back 10 seconds. I’ve used a lot of podcast apps and this one drives me nuts. Canceling my subscription.
  • Clumsy Interface

    2
    By User A user
    Poor UX design, hard to visually scan episode list for a podcast. Have to open a menu to download each individual episode. Should be quick single touches to select each one.
  • Audio problems

    Audio constantly cuts off about every 5 minutes.
