I have been using and recommending PodOmatic for both listening to my podcasts (Dwell On Truth, Verse By Verse and Brenten Powers) and for my clients who started uploading their own (The Beatitudes People). The iOS app gets 5 stars is for the ability to subscribe and listen to to others. My only suggestion to PodOmatic is for another app for pro podcasters like me to have another app that has more of the functionality to publish and track our own podcasts via iOS, since right now I do that only through my desktop. Still, I’m thankful for what this app can do, so thank you and 5 stars!

I’m new to the app. I followed a couple of podcasts. I downloaded or “made available offline” several episodes of each. When you are on a given show’s page and viewing its lists of episodes, there is an indicator that you have at least started to listen to a particular episode but there is no distinction between the episodes you have already downloaded and those you haven’t (but have not yet started to listen to). Also, on one of the podcasts I followed, when you go to its list of episodes under “Offline Episodes” none of the episodes have its title and short description. That field is blank. You can still click on it and it will play for you, but even on that page as it’s playing, the info is blank. On the other podcast I followed, the episodes I downloaded show up on its offline episodes page but I don’t believe they actually downloaded as they won’t play at all. It just spins and spins when you try to listen. Unfortunately, this was a very poor start when trying out this new app to me. I will likely just go back to relying on Apple Podcasts for my offline listening. Disappointed.

I subscribed to a podcast I found. I listened to all of the episodes and then when I tried to pull them up again, there were no episodes listed. I have spent an endless amount of time trying to find them so I could listen to them again. They only show up in my History file, which is extremely hard to locate as well. Once I did find that, it has my entire history and not just the podcast I subscribed to so I cannot just push play and listen to a couple episodes in a row.This is not a user friendly app. It is very frustrating to try and navigate with the minimal options it offers to locate what you are looking for. It might work well if you are producing a podcast, but for listening it is terrible. Don’t waste your time with it unless they make some major changes to it.

Very ridged in controls and function. Can’t create personal feed on the fly, can’t add entire blacklists to playlists, difficult search that will auto-start any episode touched without an option to see what the episode is about or add it to a playlist, limited to only podcasts on their network, does allow for downloads, but not long term (according to other reviews.). Doesn’t have large buttons for listening in the car. Crops the Podcast image during playback. Every option seems to be buried in menus. On the plus side, they do allow for episode comments. They have a feed/feature and the ability to (with determination) see a history of what’s been played. The app looks polished and has clean lines. Very beginner grade and doesn’t seem to be taking the profession seriously. Can’t recommend to friends and clients.
