  • Episode advancement issue

    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

    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

    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

  • Android version is much better

    I am a premium member who just switched from android to apple. The android version works flawlessly. I can’t say the same for the apple version. I tried to get help for my issues but they ghosted me after I sent my logs. You’d think you would get support for an app you pay for. The app does not remove played podcasts if you fast forward through ads at the end. For many of my podcast subscriptions, it does not notify me when new episodes arrive so I can add them to a play list. There are other issues but these are the big ones that worked great on my android phone.
  • So much potential… but

    The app works pretty well except for the search function. Search some common themes and nothing comes up, then you randomly find it scrolling later. Shows don’t always appear when they are released.
  • Cannot tap on volume boost, reduce noise

    By Mubashar Abrar
    This is seriously annoying. When I open the playback setting the options for volume boost, reduce noise and skip silence are over shadowed by options sleep timer, info, add to favourite and share respectively. I am unable to select the previously mentioned setting. When I tap those option the latter mentioned options get selected. It is really annoying.
  • Throws junk

    I tried to like Player.fm but it is crap. I want it to show me just the latest episodes of the podcasts that I follow. Sounds simple right. Nope. When you try to do that they show you all kinds of junk podcasts that I have absolutely no interest in. Buried in there are the podcasts that I follow. SUPER FRUSTRATING. I sent an email to support for help and they ignore. Don’t even try.
