Sometimes, wrong titles to podcasts. Another problem, when I stop listening to a podcast and close the app, it still shows on my phone's scroll-down menu. Even after I press the stop button on the menu, it still stays there. When I do a quiz, some sentences stop midway! I used to think the problem is my phone but Ive downloaded it now on 2 phones, still the same problems remain. For an app that has so many podcasts on technology, I can't believe how poorly designed this app is!
The settings option provides no "options"; esp. to close down the app after finishing an episode. It stays on the phone screen as an active app and when I get a phone call and whether or not it is answered, it begins playing all over again. Another annoying aspect is the scroll function. There is no way to scroll by date, no grouping whatsoever. There is not a lot of common sense ease of use to this app.
What was a good app as now been ruined like everything else. There are no settings to alter the size of the text, so now I cannot read it and there is no dark theme. I'm uninstalling this.....very disappointed.
With the latest update, there is some sort of glitch that prevents me from removing articles from the "read later" list. Frustrating. But the app is great besides that.
It's awesome that you guys made a show I mean a nap after the show I love the show and my son loved it so it's cool that we get this love that app together
Awesome app! Only 2 things that I see could be fixed/added. Whenever a broad subject has "highlights", I am unable to click them directly, as it is on the website. Instead you are forced to go through the trouble of copying the text and pasting it into search. Secondly, it would be very convenient if the app could remember the page I left off on if I closed the app without finishing the article. Just a suggestion!
On each page of a lesson, there's only a Next Button and a Previous button. Please give us more options for different pages to click. Example, if there are four pages in a lesson then please show that.
Love this app. And concept of podcast is very nice. I have one suggestion for developers, that is there should be a facility of taking podcast offline. This could be very useful. You can work it on for next update. 🙂
Great app very useful. Very informative. Good coverage.it needs a widget Can the wedgets made be re sizeable. 2x2-3x2-4x1-4x4
I was hoping it was like the website where u can read articles. Most of the feeds i get are quizzes and videos. Not what i wanted.
It isn't updated with any of the newer podcasts released by HowStuffWorks. Frequent glitches. I still use it regularly, but would love all the new ones such as stuff of life etc to be accessible through it.
It's not showing up article on science and technology but only home page!! Disappointing
Answers to common questions with great details. World of information that actually has a use beyond trivia
Hard to get rid of the show from your system when it's over. Good app, great shows though
contents are amazing but it takes awful time to load in the app.if you fix this, i will give you *****
Live the podcasts not the app ot keeps crashing :(... this is the third time I have had to re install it! Please fix this problem hsw! Still live you!!
None of the quizzes work. 2.1.4 build 26 on Huawei MediaPad M3 running Android 7.
Sometimes won't close, still shows on scroll down after closing.
Love the app but I wish it had a feature to hide posts. As the posts are chronological I need to scroll through all the ones I have seen already in order to find new ones which makes exploring difficult
Even After closing the video and closing the app, the video still planning on in the background ....
This has so much great content. SYSK is the best!
Need to read offline. Please refer to the design of wikipedia app.
It is very good for learning purposes. It's clean overall. It is a great learning tool.
When will the app be updated to include the new podcasts, part-time genius etc? Also any chance of a download or offline option for podcasts?
This is a new problem. When I click on a podcast for Stuff Mom Never Told You or Stuff You Missed In History Class, it pulls up a random old episode that is NOT the episode I asked for. For instance, SYMIH pulls up the Grimm Brothers for BOTH of their latest podcasts. Please fix this!
