What Real Users Say

"Apple is now a schemer company. I get billed often for things I’ve not signed up for via the apple platform. Proceed with caution."
"So loud, so jarring, and not even in the language the podcast uses! Guessing what language the ads will be screeching in is like playing roulette. I’m hitting skip on Apple; there are too many other options that are more user—and eardrum—friendly."
"Please make a feature to filter regular free episodes. Currently the filter features are: All Episodes, Unplayed, Downloaded, and Subscriber Episodes. Also, most of the reviews for this app are for podcasts people like, not the actual functionality of the app."
