Long Time User, No Longer I listened to my very first podcast (Serial) many moons ago on this app abd have been an avid listener ever since. I have created a long time list of my favorite shows and played/liked episodes. I logged in today to find all of my history GONE. All of the thousands of episodes I've listened to are now marked as unlistened to.. all of my favorites shows, gone. I'm pissed. Pissed enough to uninstall.
I've used this app for some time, recently with the new android upgrade it now stops intermittently. I went to the app support page where it listed contacts for support and chose Facebook. I received a reply the next day telling me to report it at a link provided. You guessed it, the link took me back where I started. Seeing as how my favorite podcasts are on other working apps, I simply uninstalled. In the great depression the businesses that survived did it by exceptional customer service. Every employee contact with a customer the employee responded as if their pay depended on it because it did. You can't get payed if nobody uses your service.
When you search for podcasts with a key word, how are the results sorted? It's not by title. Popularity? Random?
Pretty great app. I love being able to download my podcasts so I don't need Internet while I'm driving. Its easy to use and just kind of works. I just wish it warns you if the Internet connection is cut instead of what it does now which is kind of lock up or something. Also its fun using my headphones call answer button to pause the podcast as needed. Some cons, yes the search function needs a little work. It can't find anything unless you type a phrase that's very close to the name of the podcast. Also I want a way to go to a certain point in the podcast in case I lose my position. I don't like the current way of sliding that bar thing. I want it to be precise.
It's not a bad app but great improvements should be made, specially in the design/layout. For example, if I am in the main screen of one episode I find it cumbersome to find the other episodes of the podcast. There are other little things that could give a more intuitive user experience, beyond those the concept of the app is beautiful.
It's a decent player but suffers in terms of options compared to an app like PlayerFM. I also have a frequent issue when downloading, it will say "will download when there is an internet connection" where I have to disable and reconnect my wifi in order to do so. My connection and settings are solid. It has five star potential, but it's just not there yet.
Great but deletes line ups on its own sometimes from the mobile app. Also, internet calls knock me off the broadcast.
Easiest, cleanest, most reliable podcast app out there. Cannot say enuff good things. Also, their support team is fantastic. FANTASTIC. I use the free version, yet if I have a question about even this most obscure, random thing.. they personally email me and are jovial, friendly, and have an actual conversation.. can't say enuff good stuff about Spreaker.
Tapping the notification generates a new player instance in the app each time. Cannot skip 30s ahead from notification making it useless. Does not have as many podcasts as I would like but it has the podcasts that other players don't. Download feature is nice, but it isn't reliable; sometimes an episode isn't actually downloaded.
The app is great in terms of podcast varieties but fails miserably when it comes to features, UI & experience. plays online and offline episodes very well. No dark mode. No silence trimmer option. No volume booster option. No import export feature. No the grid option under categories such as playlists looks unpleasant no option2change them. Lacks podcasts outside of its production. No web player. I hope better updates come so that I leave Podcast addict & pocket cast & use this as mainstream. ✌️
I love love love this app! This platform has expanded my audience and my experience overall has been great. Customer service is awesome as well... oh and by the way check out my station 'Now Back To The Music' for r&b, hip-hop, rap commentary and trending topics.
Superb! I like how there's a donwload for offline listening option for those long trips where i don't have data. More social functions would be appreciated, and perhaps maybe the ability to share PDFs and keep them organize in one section of a Podcaster's Account with option to make it private or public/share to select listeners, etc. Would be great!
I enjoy the options of downloading for offline listening, sleep timers, playback speeds, etc. Each morning I can have new episodes rest to take on the go as well as choosing how many download. Big fan.
I liked spreaker and have used it for years, but I am uninstalling this app because it does not stream new podcasts. There have been several new podcasts released that I wanted to hear and I couldn't find them on spreaker. I found them on various other podcast apps. The podcasts were from big networks like how stuff works so no reason why spreaker shouldn't have them.
How can I stop it from auto start when I start my car? It interrupts my calls when I'm in Bluetooth. It cuts off my call and the app starts. Even when initially I was not using it. I open the app, press pause and close the app. I make the call again and it keeps interrupting
I love the Spreaker podcast, and $preaker studio. My inner circle used to have free style sessions as well as friendly competitions. The $preaker $tudio combo is excellent for ones creative mindset.
December, 2020. Speaker podcasts have saved my sanity. It's been a year like no other. In this yr of fire, pandemics & craziness from our politicians the podcast has reigned supreme. Spreaker makes it so easy to find what you need for that moment when you feel that all is lost. Educative, informative, relaxing and humorous. What more could you want? Spreaker is my favourite podcast app, all we need now is a vote for our favourite podcasts in selected categories. Spreaker you reign.
Great overall but glitchy with Chromecast. I'll pick the newest episode, select casting, and it'll skip to the next episode. Sometimes when I resume after pausing it'll restart or skip to the next episode.
Interface is old and tired. Hasn't had any update to the live chat experience in many years (can't click on links, no emojis, & more). The overall app & site experience feels like something from the 90s, but not in a good way. Anti free speech. Expensive to use as a content creator.
Does as expected. Used on Oneplus 6 and so far no problems. Messages are easy to navigate and function meet what you would expect from a podcast app. Very straightforward.
Really like the folder structure, the ability to see past shows watched, and the general interface. I just wish more of my podcasts were on here.
Needs ability to reverse order for playback... Or listing order. You have auto play next episode, but they are listed in the other order, so it auto plays next oldest. Pretty annoying.
I get annoyed with any app that wants to charge you money, but not let you manage your payment preferences - This platform, web or app, doesn't even let you manage your payment preferences. There are no payment preferences. You have to cancel your plan with them to be able to change the way that you give them money. I've heard a lot of stupid things in my life, but this one ranks pretty high up there.
