Ratings and Reviews
Easy to recommend
I like how easy this app is to use. I can search for podcasts I like just by typing in keywords. I think ads are in such a minor role they don’t even bother me. They’re in the background as pictures, unlike on YouTube... I’m still thinking of getting rid of them, because it costs next to nothing a year. This app rarely crashes in my experience. I use this app every day.
Basically okay
I started using Podbean because the Podcasts app stopped downloading my podcasts properly after one of the updates. Podbean is okay - the news podcasts which I want to listen to were easy to find and mostly they are available when they should be. I like the feature of being able to remove short breaks in the play back, and also the feature of playing at 1.1 of 1.2x speed.
However, it does annoy me that Podbean generally needs to go back to its start page, rather than my selected podcasts, every time I open it. It also annoys me that having listened to a podcast it is not always marked as ”played”. Sometimes I have had to play through the same podcast 3 times before it would indicate it has been played. It doesn’t matter, except that Podbean will not download the latest episode automatically until the previous has been marked as ”played”. There is a feature by which you can manually mark an episode as ”played” - but Podbean still treats the episode as unplayed and you have to manually hunt to find the latest episode. Marking it as ”played” is only a reminder to me that I do not need to bother listening to it and should hunt for the updated one. This applies to podcasts which automatically try to delete all played episodes. However, when using settings to ask for played episodes to be deleted - this doesn’t work.
So the app works, but can be annoying in the details.
Too many technical glitches and political messaging
There have been alot of issues with playback. Episodes refusing to play, and then suddenly beginning to play many minutes after having pressed play.
Also, as a gay person I found it frustrating that this App was displaying the Pride flag in the upper part of the screen during pride month. What the heck was that? I came to escape all the divisive politics that are seemingly everywhere these days, and even here it is in ones face. Shame on you for that
