Ratings and Reviews
Oh dear…..
The iOS version of this app is fantastic. I have it on both my ipad and iPhone. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the OS X version. It may be ok if you only have it on either iOS or OS X but the syncing between the two is practically non existent. The amount of podcasts i’ve lost and had to start looking for again just because i dared to open the app on my mac! AND i paid £8 for the privilege. Just stick to the iOS version.
UPDATE—— Unfortunately it no longer syncs between ios devices, despite resetting everything. AGAIN!! Sorry, time to find another podcast app.
Bugs Bugs Bugs
Hi,
There are a few bugs with this app that you would expect given the price they are charging.
If you can handle the following then you should be fine.
1 - Episodes don't sync with your iPhone/iPad correctly. My episode list is not the same from device to macbook. Very annoying.
2 - It does't automatically download if you have already downloaded a episode to your idevice.
Everything else is good, just the fundamentals don't work.
Wait until it is either alot cheaper or it is confirm that the above is fixed.
Rubbish - delete
Keeps crashing, won't actually download anything, just gets stuck in the queue. Not sure if this app was developed by ChatGPT or something but I'd say give it another go?
