I don't think people realize this app shut down. I preferred this model for listening to podcasts so I hope it comes back. They did a really good job of making it light but will structured.
Everytime I try search and select a new station I get kicked out of the app. Otherwise very good app. Only adds in the actual podcasts, none on the app so far :)
I like the categories they have for podcasts and it makes finding new podcasts easy. Seems like an app you would have in addition to your favorite podcast app since it's more topic-centered than podcast-centered.
This is a totally likeable and visually pleasing take on the usually cluttered and overwhelming podcast app space. Absolutely love this!!
Downloaded and immediately uninstalled, keeps crashing. Disappointing, as I can't seem to find the podcasts I want elsewhere.
Update: I'd given 5 stars but im back for 2 reasons. 1. The app stops playing mid-podcast for no apparant reason, 2. No language warnings. I was listening to a show I thought was kid friendly when the poscaster dropped a battery of F-bombs.
This is the application for all commuters-walking-bicycling-buses-driving. Thanks for abundant variety and versatility of podcasts.😁😅😃
Scout radio is really great! There are radio shows for just about every thing you are interested in. There are even radio nutrition shows that dispel alot of myths about food.
I gave 3 stars, because it doesn't support offline mode as TuneIn radio and Audible. Please make this gem of an app for offline support and you'll have my 5 stars!
Simply keeps me informed on the daily news and scientific topics. Highly recommend for the casual to the dedicated hobbyist!
Wanted to check out the history podcasts, but you'd be forgiven for thinking USA was the only nation in the world that has any history. Seems American historians are just as narcissistic as their president.
Highly recommended! Got Scout FM on when doing chores and light work. Looking forward to more great content!
I love it. It's almost perfect , I miss some podcasts, but I'll keep it anyway. Thank you developers 😊
Started auto starting had to uninstall. Don't use the app much but it decides it's the default app in android auto.
Naming this app Scout "FM" is misleading. FM stands for frequency modulation so one expects finding an app allowing tuning radio stations that are live streaming via internet. Deleted after 3 min test.
Couldn't find any of my favourite podcasts. Very USA oriented, poor in this day and age.
Has slowly stopped working everywhere for me. First it stopped working with Android auto, now I can't even log in.
I don't know what's wrong but the app keeps crashing and being unresponsive.
Very nice app. Keeps me updated on all news while driving to work.
Perfect app for the listener paralized by choice and would rather let the app choose for them.
I can't get into the app - it wont let me sign in through facebook or email so I can't even use it!
cool app, has shown me lots of new content, works well with samsung Dex mode. I never intended it as my primary source of podcasts, instead it is great at curating content and introducing me to new music artists
