Podcasts freeze all the time, downloads have never once worked, annoying to navigate. Great podcasts, poor app. Edit: frequently switches to other episodes while another is playing or restarts the current podcast. FINAL EDIT, DOWNLOAD POCKET CAST, DITCH THIS GARBAGE

Christian Cawley

As a long time Audioboom podcaster (from the days when it was just a "boo"!) I thought I'd try the app out. While useful as a player, I was surprised to learn that there is no obvious method to check the stats on my podcasts. Or even view my podcasts!

Michael Wilks

This app is the worst podcast app I have ever used. A 30 min podcast takes 3 hours to listen due to it freezing and crashing. I listen to the booms and bust show which brings very current business news. Not with your app!

Josh Hayter

The content on the app is good but the app itself is poor. It spontaneously stops buffering halfway through podcasts and either skips to the next or restarts. It also takes a fair amount more time to buffer than its competitors such as SoundCloud.

Roman Rupp

Please create an option to sort and play order "From old to new". I started to listen podcast from the very first episod. And now it is more then 400 episodes in it. The scrolling down becomes a nightmare! Please grabb some functions and options from podcast republic. There are plenty of useful in there. The other problem is with RSS. It is broken and a lots of episodes are missing in it. In the APP they are OK.

When it works it's great. However it constantly freezes when listening and using any other app i.e. browsing the Internet on Chrome or Facebook. Annoying!

Hi Josh, can you please turn off app optimisation in the settings of your phone? This will solve the issue.

Artie sickler May 31, 2017

This app is in need of another update asap. Still having issues with the app freezing/stops playing podcasts when you open other apps. Seems to struggle multitasking with other apps running. Please help!!

audioBoom February 15, 2017

Hi Artie, we have released a fix for the stopping issue. Can you please email support@audioboom.com letting us know if this improves for you over the next week? Thanks

Charlie B March 6, 2017

App freezes all the time. Won't load. Tons of great podcasts. Too bad the app is awful

audioBoom March 7, 2017

Hi Charlie, can you please send your account details over to support@audioboom.com so that we can investigate this further? Thanks

Astral Abortis March 18, 2017

Terrible, used to work fine some of the time, now podcasts get cut off most of the time. Tried reinstalling, changing settings etc, if it wasn't for No Such Thing As A Fish I wouldn't bother with this frustrating app.

audioBoom March 24, 2017

Hi Astral, can you please turn off app optimisation in the settings of your phone? This will solve the issue.

Aron Pena March 11, 2017

Too many freezes. Sometimes it just skips to the next podcast on its own. Pauses randomly. If they could fix that it would be great.

Anshul Arora May 4, 2017

Great collection of Podcasts, however, finding and searching podcast can get better. Genre need to work better. There is no list where I can see all available Podcasts

Peter Gale March 7, 2017

Keeps cutting out, seems to need a connection to load up playlist which seems to make downloading a podcast pointless

Nathan Kring March 27, 2017

Nice application, only a few glitches.

audioBoom June 14, 2016

Hi Nathan, If you do notice any glitches please let us know so that we can get them fixed - email support@audioboom.com

April 29, 2017

Does not work. It switches between play and pause and never plays. Not even on downloaded podcasts.

Pablo Mendoza KI7DBV March 10, 2017

Podcasts drop off midstream. It's such a slow load up.

Qamar Ahmed May 25, 2017

Worst app ever. Drain battery. Stops working.

Roger Young March 23, 2017

Constant buffering issues. Downloading no help at all. Great podcasts when it works.

audioBoom March 24, 2017

Hi Roger, can you please turn off app optimisation in the settings of your phone? This will solve the issue.

Julian DeHerrera March 9, 2017

It always skips my podcasts to the next episode for no reason

Lisa Vee March 17, 2017

App used to work great, now freezes constantly. Please fix!

Ryan Postlethwaite May 16, 2017

Brilliant. I use this to listen to the guardian's audio longreads, it just works.

Cotswold Archaeology May 16, 2017

I downloaded podcasts first to listen to at work with no WiFi. Works great for this.

Raven Knickerbocker April 17, 2017

Love this app. Has some of my favorite podcasts before anyplace else.

Henry Font April 10, 2017

Works well and I can find my daily podcasts easily.

Darrell Tolhurst April 23, 2017

lamont roberts March 31, 2017

Love it

Sebastian Rodriguez March 3, 2017

App was updated and it seems to work way better now. Doesn't stop too frequently when streaming and I almost never have problems anymore when I download a podcast. Thanks for the update

audioBoom March 6, 2017

Hi Sebastian, Glad to hear it. Happy listening!

Mister Mobile February 22, 2017

Enjoying the app

Justin Zimmerman March 3, 2017

Its great.

Dave Norris February 19, 2017

A favorite Podcaster uses this app so his stuff drops immediately here which is why I started to switch everything over. However the majority of time I'm listening is while driving and this app doesn't work well with my driving app, Android auto. It was hard to navigate, and can u even tell which episodes you've listened too?? The interface just doesn't seem listener friendly.

Sara H February 16, 2017

The skipping and flat out pausing (and then skipping to another episode of a podcast) is absolutely intolerable. I wish my favorite podcasts didn't use this garbage host because it's impossible to enjoy anything on the audioBoom app.

audioBoom February 16, 2017

Hi Sara, We're sorry that you're having issues while using our app. Can you write an email to support@audioboom.com and tell us in which Podcasts you are experiencing this issue? Thanks!

sj2150 February 11, 2017

Podcasts cut out in the middle, it takes forever to load channels and search results.

jennifer bronson February 21, 2017

Able to learn it pretty quickly. Also, only app that drops my favorite Truth and Justice episodes on time. Is there a way for the most current episode to play automatically?

Tiffany Dunlap February 18, 2017

no more skipping. now it just stops completely and I have to restart the app. :/

audioBoom February 22, 2017

Hi Tiffany, we have released another fix for this issue. Can you update the app and email support@audioboom.com letting us know if this improves for you over the next week? Thanks

Dylan Ball February 3, 2017

Constantly cuts podcasts I'm listening to back a few minutes. Can become very annoying whilst listening to multiple podcasts. Will happen 4-5 times in a 30 minute episode.

Hi Dylan, we have released a fix for this issue. Can you please email support@audioboom.com letting us know if this improves for you over the next week? Thanks
