Reviews 20 captured
★★★★★ All Features I Need! — JRobs67
I have no idea how there isn’t a single podcast app that lets you make multiple custom playlists so this app is an absolute godsend. It’s like the Marvis of podcast app - I love that it’s a one time purchases to remove ads and all the features (like custom skip intro skip outro options) I like from annoying paid subscription app are just inherent to this one.
I also love now customizable everything is as well. I have a lot of RSS patreon feeds and being able to edit podcast titles and artwork
★★★★★ One Issue — Allisdair
I like this app a lot! Just on a mini screen, the fact that the ad bar‘s space keeps coming back after I paid to remove it is trouble. No ads in it, just a black bar, but means a lot on these smaller phones. Otherwise this app is basically flawless.
★★★★★ Excellent App — Joseper
Having an application that allows you to listen to a multiplicity of feeds and have the look and feel of a podcast that is a terrific idea. I have been looking for a good app like this or an alternative solution for a while. This app fits my needs very well.
It would be great to see an option that allows the home screen to begin at the top each time or (as it does today) at the feed where you left off.
★★★★★ Glitchy but good — dordr
So much potential. Unfortunately a nasty bug has the “now playing” bar at the bottom gets taller the longer it is open/when returning to it after the phone has been locked, to where I (on a smaller iPhone) have to hard close/reboot the app, which gets to be a little too much. If not for this it would be a great one-stop-shop for podcasts and streaming radio.
★★★★★ Problems after update — nhand1022
**Edit: the fast forward/rewind issue has resolved. But now my ability to browse or search for podcasts is completely bricked. Clicking the little binocular icon at the top takes me to a list of categories with no content. Searches yield zero results. Installing the latest update does not fix the issue.**
Latest update has taken away my ability to choose which buttons I see. Either that or it has been buried so deep in the settings that I can’t find it anymore. Very, very annoying considering
★★★★★ An Absolute Must-Have for Podcast Lovers — Jimmy’s another nickname
Podcast Republic is my absolute go-to podcast app! The interface is clean and highly customizable. I love the smart speed and volume boost features, which make listening so efficient. The automatic download for my favorite shows over Wi-Fi is flawless. It's stable, powerful, and the developer is incredibly responsive to feedback. A must-have for any podcast listener! Five stars without a doubt.
★★★★★ Auto download filters are always ignored — CJ Harries
My playlists are constantly full of things I’ve actively attempted to filter out. I’m not sure if it’s smart downloads overriding my auto download settings or just the filters never being applied. There’s no support contact option so I’m left leaving a negative review until this is fixed. All I can do in the app is report a bug if and only if I use the default mail app, which I don’t.
★★★★★ After 1.5 yr of daily use, i must find alternative — teamcaffeine
This isnt inherently a bad app. My immense disappointment is rather from the fact that I'm unable to continue enjoying this app as I had for soo long. I could go very very deep
into detail as to the root of my contempt, but I am literally unable to without it causing my blood to boil. For the developer, I will attempt to sum up a couple of small features in the design that have basically caused me to lose over a years worth of collecting, organizing and tweaking my podcasts, in literally a matte
★★★★★ This app has the same bugs for eternity — jslberto
Edit 2: yes you do, and since you never resolved the issue I simply got rid of your app.
Edit with response: iOS isn’t the problem- your app is. Every single solitary other podcast app in the iOS App Store does not have this issue. Stop passing the buck. And stop hiding this review. Thanks
Despite the dev team saying the app is continuously worked on, the iOS version is all but totally unsupported. Bugs such as the one where playback stops when app is minimized or device screen is locked has
★★★★★ Multi purpose and functional — Go-ez
Very unique podcast app. Friendly UI. 2 things are missing for me and I hope the developers will add someday; 1. I can’t Airplay my video podcast feed to my Apple TV nor my Airplay TV. Only the audio will. 2. I can’t navigate the app while playing a video podcast. It will automatically pause. Overall, I enjoy the app. Thank you.
★★★★★ THE most capable podcast app — Wml230
If you’re looking for a podcast app that goes beyond a basic featureset, this is it. Mark chapters, customize the your visuals, make notes… this app blows everything else on the App Store away. Everything else seems basic and stripped down. The one thing other apps might have is slightly slicker UI. I searched far and wide when i had to leave behind Podcast Addict during my switch to ios. Also the premium version of this app is a ONE TIME fee NOT a subscription!!! Thank you Podcast Republic for
★★★★★ Literally the best podcast app! — Fubulous
I just want to fall asleep listening to my podcasts. I’m up to date on one so I like to go through the episodes at random. This is the only app that has a shuffle. And I can favorite the episodes and shuffle just the favorites. It’s the best. I love this app.
★★★★★ The best podcast app I’ve found. — Tiffany Debr
The best podcast I’ve found. A well designed app for podcast listeners. It has many options to customize your listening experience. You can make playlists for routines if you listen to certain podcasts regularly. You can prioritize your podcasts, organize them by tagging. Well done!
★★★★★ Good but… — MrFDNY
This app has potential to be the best podcast player out there. The only thing it is so buggy. The dev is active and updates the app but this is my third shot with this app and I drew the same conclusion. I have to move because it’s too buggy
★★★★★ Great!! — Exoduso
So I have had several podcast apps and while the last one I liked quiet a bit this one surpasses them all. It has all the features I want and has a great UI. This is the app for ALL your podcasting needs
★★★★★ Scam-Suspicious — myrthman
I used the app for less than a week. Audio and expected features are okay, not very user-friendly. I’m deleting it because of suspicious activity on my phone. Ever since I installed it, I got frequent “In-app purchases not allowed” alerts: every time I started the app fresh and several times when it wasn’t even open. After deleting it? No such problems. I’m glad I had purchases disabled because who knows what was being attempted. Be cautious.
★★★★★ Mostly good — ARoninLiberal
It would be much easier to set the time for skipping the beginning or end if you could choose from a minute and second menu. As of right now, you have to add up all the seconds if it’s longer than 60. Not a big deal. Just a UI tweak which makes it a smoother use
★★★★★ Best pod catcher period — inflewenzer
I’ve been looking for a new pod catcher since stitcher went down and ran threw a lot of them. This is the only one I’ve found that allows you to categorize your podcasts (an essential and seemingly basic feature). You can customize all sorts of thing for each category or playlist including if you want that to auto download.
I have been enjoying my must listens on an auto download feed but am able to track others I occasionally will listen to without having them flood my entire feed. I can liste
★★★★★ This app has gotten much better, super customizable! — Sam the Butchers
I've tried numerous podcast apps. Podcast Republic can be a little over whelming with all the settings. But that's what a podcast app needs, lots of ways to customize it.
★★★★★ Crashing — Justwouldliketotry
I really would like this app to succeed because of its many ways to customize it, but it many times 'takes its time' to respond when you touch the screen, or it just crash and then you have to shot the app down and restart it
