Ratings and reviews

Great for podcast listeners. Ever since Google podcast went away I've been looking around. Spotify was kind of sort of okay but does stupid things like not allow you to set up cues to listen in what order you want. Amazon was good, but did not have a fast forward within a podcast feature. Pod bean is the answer to everything. You can find every podcast and you can put them in whatever order you want to listen to them

Has difficulty managing downloaded files and often crashes due to "network issues" that exist solely for this app. Their recommendation algorithm is deeply flawed, which is a catch-22; I don't want them keeping data on me but I also don't want to see the evil talk shows they advertise. The UI obscures many functions that are easily reached on other apps, such as comments or volume controls, and I don't like how closing the program only hides it NOT stops it. Overall, it's a mediocre memory hog.

I had initially given the app 5 stars. However, I have been encountering issues that are making the user experience frustrating. Perhaps the biggest is that the app is doing a really bad job of keeping track of the episodes I have listened to. Sometimes it will show episodes as unplayed, even if I've listened to the whole thing. Other times, I will open the app and instead of playing an episode where I left off, it will pick another episode that I have already listened to.

What's new

1. Enable zoom in/out on the waveform during audio editing.
2. Improve the layout and readability of transcripts for video episodes.
3. Fix the filtering problem related to season displays.
4. Implement overall performance improvements.
