Podbean Podcast App & Player App Reviews

App crashes when homepage is interacted with most of the time. Very annoying

No reply from support for help.

This app does not work! Waste of time, extremely frustrated and disappointed that the podcasts I downloaded wouldnt play even when I followed all the other advice online about allowing cellular data.

The player is very unresponsive and takes upwards of 3 seconds just to transfer between the app and the player and pausing takes way to long!

Im a podcaster with Podbean and this app helps me not only upload my shows from my phone but allows another part of my audience that doesnt use stitcher or iTunes to tune in weekly.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the podcasts.

Ive used a few diff podcast apps. This one is the best so far. Really simple and straight forward UI!

Great app works perfect for podcast

I cant really say there are any problems with this app. Honestly, its pretty easy to use, and I tend to find all of my favorite podcasts on it. (Even some new ones! D&R) The app even lets you download them to your phone like all other podcast sites. The only thing that is wrong with it is that the "new podcasts" arent shown. If someone else come on with their brand new podcast, you cant find it unless you type it in. That would be the only real problem. Other than that, I give five stars.

Podbean is the best host site for us podcasters out there, the millisecond i upload each weeks show to podbean it is instantly also on iTunes!!!!

Like this app

Love the ease of use in getting shows out but much like iTunes the rankings make little sense. Inactive shows with fewer follows and downloads rank ahead of active shows with higher downloads. Frustrating when trying to monetize.

Overall, this is a step up from the terrible podcast app by Apple, but its still lacking some very basic features that would make it decent. Firstly, its very slow/laggy. Press a button and a couple seconds later it actually goes to the page. Secondly, here are some features it lacks that would make it decent: -cant follow a podcast without it automatically downloading new episodes -cant do any batch operations. This would be especially helpful for adding episodes to playlists, downloading episodes, and deleting episodes. -cant automatically order/sort the podcasts in a playlist or in your download folder by publish date or any other metric. You can sort them in a playlist by dragging each but this gets too cumbersome with long playlists. -functioning at reasonable speed / without lag -when you close the app it doesnt keep a currently playing option/link at the bottom when you re-open the app. So if youre listening to an episode and you have to close the app and then reopen it later you have to go back through the app and find that episode then start playing. It does remember where you left off in the episode but you cant get to the episode right away. All these lacking features make for a very frustrating experience, especially if you follow a lot of podcasts. The lag and the poor interface make for a huge amount of wasted time in the app. Lastly, I really appreciate the variable playback speed but it reduces the audio quality. Hoping they improve this app because the App Store desperately needs a decent free podcast app with these features!

Used this to listen to a subscription based fantasy football program and have really enjoyed the functionality of this app.

Overall, this is a really great service for very cheap. I did a lot of research before picking them and they are just flat out easier to use and cheap for unlimited space. Great layout too.

And several good features.

Its so easy to use and capable of a lot. I couldnt be happier with it!

Thanks for letting me download to my device and play later.

I like the layout of the app. It is easy to use. It is nice to have the ability to sort the episodes by earliest or oldest. One problem I notice is that some of the podcasts do not update as well or as frequent as they do on other apps. The landscape option would be a plus. It would also be nice to have the option to have the podcasts remain stationary rather than moving around when you select a podcast.
