Laughable – Podcasts & Comedy

I have been using this app since it first was launched. I love the way everything works and the ability to subscribe to a person not just a podcast. The 3 stars comes from the simple fact that this app has been buggy and full of issues from the get go. The search stopped working, too often that days podcasts weren't being updated, and sometimes the app seemed to loose its place when you return from hitting pause. I started with a new app yesterday. It seems to be more stable but I'll miss this

The best podcast app period! I have used many different podcast apps and none of them compare to Laughable. The interface is so simple and fluid, it's effortless to navigate. The ability to subscribe to individual people so you can find out what podcast they're on and any podcast that they have previously been on is genius. So many of the other podcast apps are full of advertisement, poor functionality, and a lack of features. There isn't a compromise with this app.

I really like being able to subscribe to comedians I like. The player works fine and I think if you're a casual listener to podcasts, you'd be ok with it. If you're a power listener, you probably won't be making a switch. As of this review, there's no playlist as such, just a queue that displays the podcasts in order by date. I'd like to be able to decide what I want on the splash screen. There's a lot of clutter there that I'm not interested in. I also have a few podcasts that have username/passwords for the feeds so I couldn't switch to this even if I wanted to. I enjoy getting the notifications on people I have subscribed to and I find this feature (subscribing to a certain name) the most accurate of all the podcasts apps I've tried. Old appearances don't come up randomly like on Podcast Addict. I'll still use this as a secondary podcast app and would consider switching if it were more powerful.

This app was awesome when they started it but now it's awful and they don't seem to care. It crashes constantly. The android app is completely different from the iOS app, on android theres not an option to log in so you can get to your saved podcasts so if you have to uninstall and reinstall when it inevitably crashes you have to re-add every podcast you subscribe to. It crashes at least 15-20 times a day and I'm not exaggerating at all. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to switch apps

Garbage. Can't download an episode an cross the street at the same time, let alone download and do anything but watch it download. YouTube does a better job of playing videos when minimized. Even going to the home screen will stop a download. It glitches everytime you hit the skip button. It will also boot you out of the app when ever it seems fit. Going back to Castbox. 🖕

podcasts consistently freeze on me when I try to go forward or back., even after I've downloaded the podcast, they still freeze! Why would they freeze when I request them to go forward 15 seconds or back 15 seconds, especially after I've downloaded the whole podcast???? am I confusing the definition of "download”??? ... isn't the point of downloading it to prevent it from freezing while you're listening to it?????? I'm moving on to better functioning podcast app that friends have told me about.

This app is great for diving deep into a specific author, comedian, or podcast host. I'm subtracting one star because it's a little sluggish. There's a delay whenever I tap something that is pretty considerable. Also once in a while it crashes. For some reason it happens when I search for Michael Lewis.

Been waiting a while for this one as I've heard such good things about it and it hasn't disappointed at all!! The way you can see every podcast a person has been on is a great addition. It's easy to navigate and has a nice UI, just get this app you won't regret it!! Only thing it needs is a widget so you can add and control from the homescreen and then it's perfect.

Edit April 2021: The same bugs are in place that have plagued this app from launch. I ended up switching to a more stable app but man, I so miss Laughable. This is the only podcast you'll need going forward; it wraps all your favorite people and podcasts into one app. Not only does it have access to every conceivable podcast, it lists all podcasts the individuals you subscribe to are featured on. I needed this app more than I knew.

Hands down the most comprehensive and easy to use podcast app out there. Give your self time to acquaint yourself with the app or read the help file, but it has everything I was looking for and I've tried them all. Kudos to the Laughable team, it was well worth the wait for the Android version. Dan

Glad to see this app is on android! -2stars for lack of casting ability to my smart speakers! Still using google podcasts till then. (edit) +1star Glad to hear the laughable team respond so quickly! I use google home speakers and a google home hub. They're all connected over wifi. I am able to cast music from spotify and podcasts from google podcasts to the speakers. I would love to see this feature added :)

It stops working after a few weeks. Deleted and reinstalled the app four separate times and, without fail, after a few weeks it stops working. Don't waste you time. Use Stitcher, I had that for years with zero issues.

Best podcaat app ever made, hands down. Android compatibility couldn't have come sooner because I just uninstalled pocket casts after their recent disastrous UI update, and desperately needed a replacement. Cant say enough good things; You follow people you're interested in and you can discover not only other podcast episodes they are guests on which you would otherwise never find, but also helps you discover other podcast shows relevant to your interests. Will not disappoint, dload immediately.

Simply the best app for podcasts. they give you the ability follow individual entertainers, as well as entire shows, show you every podcast a specific person has been on. they feature categories to provide you easy access to more than comedy. they provide links to social media, web sites and upcoming shows so you can stay connected to your favorite guests. their customer service is second to none. you will not regret downloading this app.

Everytime I lock my phone screen, the podcast I'm listening to pauses within 30 seconds to a minute. If I keep my screen on, they keep playing. As soon as i unlock the screen it unpauses. This is a huge negative to me since 99% of my listening is at work with my phone in my pocket.

love this app! came from ios and was so upset to see it not on Android! Glad it's here now! only issue ive had is that when the podcast is paused, the audio will automatically start playing after lets say a phone call comes in. it acts like i was listening and the call paused it, no it just auto played hours later when i got a call and ended it.

The best podcast App that I've tried as it allows you to subscribe to individual guests and tells you when new episodes are released. The search function is great as it lists them in chronological order which is obvious but no other podcast apps do it. All round stable and very functional .

So excited for this to finally come to Android. Laughable makes is super easy to find all your favorite podcasts and it also helps you discover new ones! Plus, it's really easy to figure out who the guests were! Definitely give it a try!

It has no access to private RSS feeds, you cannot organize your queued episodes. the Bluetooth controls dont work properly on my headphones or my car. it talks over google maps rather than pausing. it basically lacks any features. if youre a regular podcast listener do yourself a favor and go get the "podcast addict" app.

Such a unique app. I have been waiting impatiently hearing about the app on apple for so long. now that its out it is everything i wanted and more! They allow downloads for offline listening, have a queue feature so i am never left with silence and i have found more podcasts than i have the time for! A plus!

One of the best, but please add the sleep timer! The only thing which seems to be missing from the iOS version. Other than that, outstanding podcast app. - updated to 5 stars for lightning fast developer response, I eagerly await the update.

far and away the best podcast ap ive ever used. the search engine is second to none. never before has it been easier to find my favorite comics on podcasts I'd never know about. the entire laughable crew is friendly, helpful and they work their asses off. support this!!

I was lucky enough to be part of the beta testing of this app, and I love it. any bugs I noticed were fixed promotly and I have had zero issues since. this has become my go-to gor podcasts. just download it

The subscription idea for following comics is great. There are weird back button behaviors though. And lack of chromecast is a big bummer. Overall a good option to find podcasts you might never know your favorite comic is a guest on.
