Ratings and Reviews
Favourite podcast app.
Tried so many. Like the options and settings for personalising the experience. Overall, very happy.
Feel the search could be improved as things need to be really specific and spelt perfectly. Also I find it a little difficult to find new content (that isn’t related to luminary). Appreciate there’s a balance given you want to make money, but I would love to see more drill-able and searchable categories in the home page. I mainly find podcasts through websites and the like, rarely through the app. it would be cool if it was more of a one stop shop.
I only hold onto other apps like Spotify, RadioPublic and apple podcast because the library has some gaps. But I will aways listen through this if I find it here.
Great content, frustrating app
I’m happy to pay for shows like love and radio but I am not happy to pay for an underwhelming and frustrating app.
Lacks Apple Watch support
If you play a downloaded show and it ends it just plays the next show in order instead of playing the next downloaded show.
Skipping with headphones skips podcast instead of fast forwarding and rewinding.
And many other issues.
Liberal bias
There is a clear American liberal
leftist bias with many shows and how how are promoted. I am neither American nor leftist so I will take my money elsewhere.
