Ratings and Reviews
Lots of variety
Music can be played offline after it’s been downloaded, many different genres of music with podcasts and sets available to download from artists not typically found on other apps. Downloads are pretty quick and you can download multiple sets and as long as you have the space on your phone can download as many sets as you want. Update: I’ve had Podbean for over a year now with no problems at all, awesome podcast app with lots of choices to suit every taste, the only downside is the fact there’s no equaliser but it’s not really an issue more of a niggle tbh, maybe this is something for the devs to offer long time users of the app in a future update

Hi, Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your advice! We have reported it to our team for consideration and improvement.
I don’t know what’s happening
So I’ve loved this app for about 3 or 4 weeks now and I’ve been really happy with it, it’s the only site I’ve been able to find my favourite podcast on. I listen to this podcast all the time but recently when I try and cast it to my google speaker it crashes and nothing plays. It’s been bothering me for a while and the only solution I’ve done that works is to uninstall and reinstall the app, and that only gets the job done for a day or two that I have to uninstall and reinstall it again. I was hoping that I could get a solution or something at least but yeah, would appreciate it if something was done. Still love the app and it works fine with Bluetooth just the casting is super annoying 👍 Update- the uninstall reinstall thing is no longer working. Quite annoyed but it seems it’s only me having this problem? I’ve made several new accounts and I don’t know what to do about it.

Battery Drain
I thought I’d finally found the prefect podcast app and even better, it’s totally free with no IAP, some of the podcasts play ads at the beginning but it’s hard to know if that’s the app or the podcast content creators own deals.
Either way, I loved everything about this app, the ability to comment to the podcasters, the ability to curate own playlists with a mix of episodes from a variety of cast, the ability to speed up playback, timer and a elegant yet easy to navigate user face. I’ve even found several more fave podcasts that I’d never have come across on casts, sadly though this seems to guzzle my battery. It’s def this app. I installed on my phone and can usually have podcasts playing while I sleep but phones flat by morning with this app.
Initially put it down to oldish phone but sadly have a brand new iPhone 8 and on running this app there’s a big diff in battery drain in comparison to using casts. Old phone fine as can listen and charge at same time, however with no headphone jack it’s problematic, I have wireless headphones but don’t like them for sleeping in and I’m reluctance to buy wireless earphones when I have several pairs of good ones already, sole purpose of purchasing anymore would be so I can plug in to use this app and listen at same time.
Ill keep installed just because I like how the catalogue is presented but I’m still looking for the perfect podcast app.
