Kind of just works, not too many intrusive ads, has the basic features you would want. I have used it for a couple of years, and I'm not feeling the need to switch to anything else for now. As a free alternative, it's good. A downside is that it sometimes doesn’t skip over episodes you've played. Also, the reason I can never give this 5 stars, is due to a bug which skips backward randomly. Very annoying...

Great way to listen, great way to publish your own episodes. My show grew significantly in the audio format after using Podbean to distribute my content across multiple podcast platforms like Apple, Spotify, and other. Only complaint is once every hour + long podcast episode, it will repeat a 15-30 second portion that it already played. It does this no matter what it seems. Not a huge deal, but annoying.

So far, I like Podbean better than all of the other podcasting apps I've used. Most of the other big names that have podcasts, don't seem to let me connect to the ones I ACTUALLY want to listen to, which is super frustrating. Podbean lets me listen to ones I'm interested in, which have value to me, and aren't endorsed by the huge studios, and censor voices they don't like! High quality app!

What’s new

1. Add a “Fade Out” option to the Ambient Relaxation sleep timer so audio gradually fades to silence at the end of the timer.
2. Implement UI optimizations.
