Crashing all the way

Refuse to work - crashing after latest update. Go search for alternative.

Best podcast app

Has every feature you need

Bad interface

Super app. But new interface is ugly!

Doesnt play podcasts after upgrading to 2.9.5

App seems to be working but no sound and progress indicator isn’t moving.

Great customization

Great app with great customization. Thank you!

Crash

With IOS 5.01, it crashes after 2 minutes listening a downloaded podcast. It was perfect once, now its completely useless.

Best Podcast app around

If youre in the market for your next podcast management app - you found it. Five stars. Period.

Best podcast app

Theres not much to say except its the perfect podcast app in the market

Iphone 4s ios 9 app open very slow.

Almost perfetct

The best in podcast downloading and sorting. The only missing feature is the equalizer.

What happened?

Worked really well. Now episodes will not stream. Tried downloading. App says that the episode is downloaded. Episode will not play. Please fix!

This app is currently a mess

You cant delete an episode without disorienting the interface. When I asked for help from Downcast customer support I got no response.

Needs update BADLY

Probably my favorite app, but since updating to iOS 10 it has completely gone haywire. When tapping a subscribed podcast it mismatches the info, same thing happens in playlists. In my list of subscribed playlists, half the page is blank. Deleted the app and reinstalled but no change. HELP!

Latest version has bugs for sure

Same issues everyone else is having with wrong episodes, screen losing podcasts below whats visible, etc. Good product, but needs to be fixed soon.

Fallen Hero

Downcast used to be the Champion of podcast apps with a rich feature set other apps could not match. But this rich feature set is now contaminated with bugs that compromise the user experience. The developers seem to have lost interest in their app and are content to let competitor apps bury this fallen hero.

Long time user

Consistently, this podcast player is the best performance in the market out of all tested. Plays videos, music, podcasts. Wish it could do audiobooks as well as streamplayer. The only thing missing is easy mp3 import.

What Happened?

A once great app is almost unusable now. Constantly shows me blank space as I scroll. Requires me to close out the app from the tray and restart it to get it working again. I will return to Pocketcasts until these issues are fixed.

A Superstar In Trouble

This used to be, for me at least, the gold standard for podcast apps. There was nothing extraneous, nothing annoying, just a straghtforward and easy-to-use app that made listening to and searching for podcasts as easy as it could possibly be. Now, after the latest iPhone update I suppose, when I open the app there will likely only be a fraction of the podcasts showing, followed on the screen by a bunch of white/gray space. I have to restart my phone a couple of times a day to get the app to show up properly so I can use it. And that wont last long. Very disappointing.

LOVE

Ive been using this app for several years now. Love its simplistic navigation. Makes searching for new podcasts super easy.

Good app but buggy lately

I haveused and loved this app for years but it hasnt been working well recently. My list of podcasts doesnt always show all of them. This usually happens after I finish and delete a podcast. Then my main list only shows some of my podcasts that have new episodes and when I click on one of them it shows me the episodes from the podcast above or below it on the full list. I have to turn my phone off and on again to fix it. This is happening nearly every time I listen to any podcast episode and Im getting tired of restarting my phone so that I can see my full list.
