Sheelah Turner

Almost great This is a good - not yet excellent - app. Everything works well except the continuous play. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to continuous play down a subscribed show list. Even when i choose the top of the list of a specific show and there are further downloaded episodes, at the end of the top episode it skips across to another show instead of playing tbe next downloaded episode in the same show. What am I doing wrong? Edit: thanks for the reply. That is not the issue as all episodes are already offline. I'll email you separately.

Joel Parrish

Best podcast app for Android. Let's you automatically queue downloads for subscriptions in a more detailed way than others (I've tried others and came back to this one). Not the most pleasing to the eyes but the functionally is the best hands down.

Malan van der Walt

Download limits seem to not work properly. Why not give option to limit download up until certain amount of hours or hard drive space? Also too much work to enable and disable WiFi downloads and has caused problems with accidentally using too much bandwidth at locations outside home. Give me prompt reach time app wants to automatically download. UPDATE : thanks, but I understand that to be the design. I think others might want my suggested download feature though.

Tudor Cristian

Literally, I've tried all the other apps.. And it's just not good enough... Yours has everything I need (fast listening, offline capability, sound boost, nice skin, and it's soo good! Best Podcast App.. Seriously

Jerneja

I've grown to really love this app. There is also a "search" button now for browsing episode topics within the individual series, which is great :) I have one more suggestion: I would find it very useful if I could sort my downloaded episodes in order in which I wanted to listen to them - not just sort by most recent for example, but to customise my own playlist.

Dennis Malangalila

I keep having problems with the app deciding to delete some of my not listened episodes. It's completely random, what episodes disappear, it's not decided by date, just that they're not yet listened to. Don't seem to have any rhymes or reason. Otherwise, great app.

Player FM Podcasts October 19, 2017

Hi Sheelah, episodes play down the playlist you've selected in this priority order: playlist selected, Play Later list, episodes listed in the General subscription category and Downloads list. We'd like to check your settings further though, pls include your logs upon sending an email via Help | Report a Problem. Thanks!

Joel Parrish October 20, 2017

Player FM Podcasts October 21, 2017

Thanks for the feedback on our app and its features, Joel! We are happy that you consider it the best podcast app and that it works well on your device. Feel free to mail us at support@player.fm or join our community (pioneers.player.fm), where you can share your suggestions on our app's improvement as your feedback is of great importance to us.

Malan van der Walt October 7, 2017

Player FM Podcasts October 7, 2017

Hi Malan, understand now. I was responding to your comment they don't work properly. I think they work as intended - downloads are based on number of episodes to keep things simple and familiar - but your feature proposal feature is note, thanks! Downloading on wifi-only is the default setting and can be updated quite easily in Download settings.

Tudor Cristian October 8, 2017

Player FM Podcasts October 8, 2017

Thanks for considering our app the best, Tudor! We are happy that our app has the features you need. We always aim to provide an app that gives you the best podcasting experience you need.

Jerneja October 7, 2017

Player FM Podcasts October 9, 2017

Thanks, Jerneja. :) There are several sort options in "Downloads" for now (Oldest, Newest, etc.), however, what you can do is to add the episodes to Play Later and you will have the episodes downloaded, and you can rearrange them the way you like. Also, we'll note down your suggestion as we always aim to improve your podcast listening experience.

Dennis Malangalila October 9, 2017

Player FM Podcasts October 9, 2017

The rule is very simple. By default, the app keeps one episode fur each subscription, so if a new one arrives, the old one will be deleted. You can change this for reach series in the series settings. Let us know via Help - Report Problem if you have any concerns, thanks!

Dontbe Eevil October 18, 2017

First of all (GOOOOOgle), my comments are between me, the developer in question, and other users, so please take your surveys, with which you impede the review process, and f*** yourself with them! This app has a nice interface for accessing scads of content, once you adjust to how the controls work. What it doesn't do is give you the choice to save or not save (much less cull by date) streamed content, or even tell you where it stores storage-eating accumulated streams without your permission. I had to spend hours searching my Android program data files and manually clear the better part of 10GB when I finally noticed the drain, and that's a huge issue which should never be - please fix!

Player FM Podcasts October 18, 2017

Hi Dontbe Eevil, we definitely want to make it easy for you to manage your storage - offline is a big part of podcasts in general :). You do get a lot of control over this, as you can set the download limit for each series or turn it off altogether. You can see where it's stored too, please check Download Settings > Downloads Location.

S31moorcro October 17, 2017

Tried few other Podcast apps and so far, nothing can match Podcast Player for free. I have a niche set of subscriptions and it hits every feed with no importing or other configuring necessary. Recommend it

Player FM Podcasts October 18, 2017

Thank you for recommending Player FM and giving us a perfect rating! We're happy to know you're able to enjoy your favorite podcasts on our app. Feel free to join our pioneers' community (http://pioneers.player.fm) to get the latest news and updates on Player FM.```

K Saelee October 19, 2017

Truly the best podcast app for Android. Closest comparison to ios Overcast app. I have literally tried all of the other top rated apps and have hated them. This is THE BEST.

Player FM Podcasts October 20, 2017

Thank you for the perfect rating, K! We appreciate that you consider Player FM the best podcast app. To get the latest news and updates, feel free to join our pioneers' community (http://pioneers.player.fm)

Alex Bremer October 12, 2017

This is the best app ever installed on my phone. I use it every day.... But unfortunately I cannot recommend to log in. Its to difficult not to loose all data at this process.

Player FM Podcasts October 12, 2017

Thanks for the compliment Alex. As far as logging in, like any app with user accounts, if you are using it as a guest and you then login to an existing account, the app will update to that account's data and settings. A warning is shown in that situation to ensure the user is okay their guest settings are to be replaced.

Babita Prasad October 12, 2017

Very good but I keep having a Thai program being downloaded despite not selecting it for download. Very frustrating!

Player FM Podcasts October 12, 2017

Hi Babita, like most podcast apps, Player FM keeps your episodes offline, downloading when you're on wifi to save you bandwidth. Should you wish to stream episodes on demand instead, you can turn off downloading in Download Settings or disable it just for the Thai series. Please get in touch via Help | Report Problem if any concerns. Thanks!

October 7, 2017

New version is now limited to 50 episodes of each pod, and you can't change it. Make listening to older pods impossible. Worthless.

Player FM Podcasts October 8, 2017

I don't know what you mean. Literally nothing has changed on that front and you can scroll back to see as many episodes as you like. Please check your connection as it sounds like you were offline when you were trying to see all episodes

Hondo Henriques October 17, 2017

Excellent for keeping my podcasts organized. I love that you can control how many episodes of each podcast to keep on hand. Automatically downloads new ones when I am on WiFi, and deletes them when they have played. Lots of control.

Player FM Podcasts October 18, 2017

Thanks for the excellent rating, Hondo! We're glad that our app's auto-download and auto-delete features work well for you. Feel free to join our pioneers' community (http://pioneers.player.fm) to get the latest news and updates on Player FM.

Charles Dearie October 10, 2017

This is a great caster! The developer continues making improvements, so the app is getting better and better. That is why I'm writing this review.

Player FM Podcasts October 13, 2017

Thanks for the wonderful review, Charles! We have hands-on developers and we aim to provide our users a hassle-free podcast app so users can simply enjoy listening to their podcasts. We appreciate the compliments.

Rob Dixon October 6, 2017

Only recently started to listening to podcasts and this app is great to use, set up subscriptions and listen to whatever your interests may be.

Player FM Podcasts October 6, 2017

Thanks for the 5 stars, Rob! We're happy to know our app works well for you in terms of managing and listening to podcasts.

Eric Burnett October 10, 2017

Great work on the app, the UI (customizable theme, beautiful layout) and features (play settings per podcast, user categories, and web integration) are really standouts. However some basic features are missing. The podcast selection is limited. The search engine is really particular about titles and there's no way (that I can find) to manually add podcasts. Also you don't get access to all podcast back episodes.

Player FM Podcasts October 10, 2017

Thanks, Eric. The search engine has been designed to find episodes through text matching and will locate a show even if you misspell it. You can also add podcasts via Side Menu | Import and put the RSS feed URL to add to our app's catalog. Should you require further assistance, pls mail us at support@player.fm, we'd be more than happy to help!

Colin Elmhurst October 15, 2017

This app player's coding isn't buggy like other apps and it had every podcast I needed (Christian Reformed shows such as The Whitehorse Inn) ; I deleted 3 podcast apps and was finally able to use one. Yay!

Player FM Podcasts October 16, 2017

Thanks for the compliments, Colin! We're glad that Player FM satisfies your podcast needs.

Matheus Alves October 11, 2017

Best podcast app ever! I already try a bunch of other apps, and this one has all the features a podcast app should have, without adds and unusefull features like music and radio player. It's simple, clean and organized. I definitely recommend it.

Player FM Podcasts October 12, 2017

Thanks for the review and the recommendation, Matheus! We're happy that you're satisfied with all of the features of Player FM. You may also join our community through http://pioneers.player.fm if you want to be updated with the latest news or feature of the app.

H October 16, 2017

Great app! All the podcasts I need in one place and great options to make sure new episodes only download on WiFi, and also options for sorting episodes, and a "play later" feature. :)

Player FM Podcasts October 17, 2017

Thanks for the perfect rating, H! We're happy the app works well for you especially its download and episode sorting features.

Sarah Howell October 12, 2017

I like it so far, still figuring out the best way to search for more niche topics. I like using the "Play Later" function to mark podcasts for download when WiFi is available

Player FM Podcasts October 13, 2017

Thanks for the feedback Sara. We are happy that you like our app and the Play Later feature. Aside from searching for podcasts and episodes, you can also search for specific topics via our app's search option (pls check the screenshots - https://imgur.com/a/dojpC). Feel free to mail us at support@player.fm, if you need our advice.

Giovanni Barton October 12, 2017

Absolutely love this app I catch up on all my sports radio and podcast and it always downloads the latest when it's connected to my Wi-Fi that way I don't have to burn my data

Player FM Podcasts October 13, 2017

Thanks for the 5-star ratings, Giovanni! We're glad that we're able to help you save data while enjoying your favorite sports radio and podcasts!

Nick Massey October 22, 2017

It's great! It's free! Would be really good if it synced across devices. Casts that I've played on one device don't show as played on another device

Player FM Podcasts October 22, 2017

Thanks much, Nick! Your subscriptions sync across the web and Android, but you're correct in that play positions/history do not ... until now :) Already in the beta for several months, full play history is indeed supported with our premium plans, which will be available to all users very soon with v4.0!

Michael Donnelly October 15, 2017

Awesome podcast player. It lets you add subscriptions and also add individual episodes to a play later list. Also allows you to download episodes. Also allows variable playback speed with pitch correction.

Player FM Podcasts October 16, 2017

Thanks for the awesome rating, Michael! We're glad to know Player FM works well for you. We appreciate your compliments on our app's download and playback features.

damion francis October 12, 2017

Anton Rosenfeld October 14, 2017

The best I have tried. Easy to use, good at finding things and works without a glitch.

Player FM Podcasts October 14, 2017

Thanks for the many compliments, Anton! We're glad you tried our app. Searching can also be done within a series. Just open the series detail screen and tap the magnifying glass so you don't need to scroll down to all the episodes.

Bee Bee October 9, 2017

"failed to play download" since update

Player FM Podcasts October 9, 2017

Hi Bee, the update didn't change anything about playback. It's possible the source for the worries in question wasn't working - you can check it directly via Links on the episode screen. Feel free to contact us to investigate further via Help - Report Problem

Amit Bawa October 7, 2017

5 stars from a closet tech guru who seldom gives out 5 stars.

Zhivko Kabaivanov October 16, 2017

I how would say that this application has a magnificent features that includes searching through episodes. I highly recommend it to download

Player FM Podcasts October 16, 2017

Thanks for the nice feedback, Zhivko! Yes, you can search within an episode using the app and don't forget the web has this feature too. Just open the podcast and click on the magnifying glass above the episode list on the web. We appreciate the recommendation.

Christopher White October 9, 2017

Why after years, is a short burst of static happening on every podcast every 10 seconds?

Player FM Podcasts October 11, 2017

Thanks, Christopher. What you described is not a normall app behavior as our app is supposed to work smoothly on all devices and to provide you with an improved podcast listening experience. Feel free to send us your logs (Side menu | Help | Report problem...) so that we can investigate.

Justin Cambio October 10, 2017

This app is the only app that will sync progress between your computer and your phone.

Player FM Podcasts October 13, 2017

Thanks for the 5-star rating, Justin! Player FM's sync capabilities can definitely be most useful when having more than one device and you want to resume playback from your phone to your tablet or computer! The Premium plan is currently in beta, however, you can become a tester via https://play.google.com/apps/testing/fm.player.

David Gainsboro October 13, 2017

Just what I need. A straightforward app that stores offline and makes it easy to discover new podcasts.

Player FM Podcasts October 14, 2017
