Podbean Podcast App & Player 12+

salice rose Contant is decently funny she motivates women and men she’s not biased towards one gender. The quality is phenomenal and I believe everyone should try this app out. You don’t have to pay anything and you get to listen to this amazing broadcast so far I’ve only listen to Salice rose, but after I run out of listening to her audios, I will further try to listen to motivational podcasts on here. The one thing I will say is if you have to be hands-free and you’re listening to a podcast after the podcast ends, it repeats itself instead of going to the next podcast and that’s the only thing that I don’t like but the sides that this app is amazing and I love listening to my podcast through here because if I was listening to a podcast through a music app is going to play the podcast then play music after what I’d rather be listening to a podcast the entire time. Definitely go check out Salice rose. She hits a bunch of different topics and helps you find different ways to think of things.

Hi, Thank you for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you are satisfied with the application. Hope you enjoy your journey on Podbean!

I don’t know if the below was ever sent as here it sits when I went to review again. I am changing from 3 stars to 1 star. If BARDSFM was not on Podbean I would discard it. Not only does all of the below continue to happen, the episodes change on me - once I choose one, it frequently jumps to one next to it…over and over. I have an iPhone XR and an older iPad. I DO, however, enjoy the chat feature on live broadcast - mostly reading, not participating. PLUS- since downloads are automatic, I had trouble with data storage. So did my sister - we went to Geek Squad and if I wasn’t there to point them to Podbean as a possible cause, they may not have figured it out. OLD Review: [Podbean carries one of my favorite podcast followings. I never investigated how the live chat works, etc — that’s on me. However, trying to advance the recorded episode times frustrates me because it buffers and buffers. E.g.: wanting to move past the beginning to when an interview starts; or wanting to “slide” it back to the beginning. I even tried to get out of Podbean and re-enter to hopefully reset, but it still kept the episode to where I left off (which, in some circumstances would be good, if one could easily maneuver the time-line). I am not tech-y, and respect your efforts. I am just telling you how it is with me. Thanks.]

Thank you for your feedback. We have reported this issue to our tech team and they are working on it. We’re optimizing the episode streaming feature and the update will be released soon.

If the file of podcast episode is rather big, sometimes it may take a while to load. Currently, we may suggest downloading the episodes, for the downloaded ones should be played in a smoother way.

For convenience, users may
1. Tap the three-dot menu on the top right of the podcast page ➡ choose 'Batch manage' ➡ Download multiple episodes at once.
2. Turn on ‘Delete played episodes’ in Settings.

Glitchy- If I press pause or hit the back button more than once or twice during a podcast, it will stop playing. Won’t go back, won’t go forward, won’t play. I’ve closed and reopened the app. Tried starting a different podcast, then gone back to the one that stopped- no change. The only way it will start again is to close the app for several days (ridiculous) or if I delete and reload the app. Due to this issue I would never use it, but a favorite podcast has bonus content only on Podbean so I listen only to that podcast on the app.
Difficult to navigate- I’ve probably got about 30 podcasts saved on my Podcast app. My list of shows and episodes comes up immediately and is easy to navigate and toggle through. Using Podbean is like “50 First Dates”- I’m greeted with a generic home screen with no mention of my listening history and recommendations that clearly aren’t relevant. I have to search for the ONE show I listen to every. single. time. Once you finally get to the show you want, you have to go into a menu to have your episode list refresh- otherwise you’d never know that another episode had been released. Glitchy, not intuitive, cumbersome.
