OWNER BUYS PODCAST APP POCKET CASTS UPDATE

Really? Wow, I have so many issues with it, it's hard to figure out where to begin.ġ) As far as I can tell, it can't be uninstalled.Ģ) It won't work with bluetooth music controls (fast forward, specifically).ģ) It doesn't support playlists or even a 'play all new in order by release date'.Ĥ) It takes two swipes and a click to get to a list of all (audio) podcasts just to find out if there are any new ones.ĥ) It loses track of already listened to episodes for one of my podcasts (MLS Extra Time Radio).Ħ) The icons for half of my podcasts are all jacked and I can't fix them (deleting and re-adding the podcast doesn't help).ħ) It crashes about half the time when opening.Ĩ) It insists on updating as soon as it's opened, making the GUI unresponsive for quite a while.ĩ) It doesn't update in the background like it should.sometimes (even when charging and on wifi for hours).ġ0) Adding podcasts it doesn't have in the library is hit or miss.I tried six ways to Sunday to add one podcast until I finally found a URL it would accept.ġ1) There is nowhere to review or leave comments like this one. I produce a podcast (beekeeper's corner podcast) so i'm in a podcast app just about every day. I appreciate the ability to review the pre-formatted collections, this is a nice touch too.Īnd most of all I appreciate that it simply works. I appreciate, but don't use that much, the smart playlists - though sometimes they come in handy I like that I can pin individual podcasts to my start screen - very desirable feature for me. I like that it tells me info about the files downloaded - how big, how long the episode is, and when it was released.

I like the way it indicates a file is offline - very hard to mistake playing something that could use your data plan the way the UI works which is a good thing. There were a few other things but this was enough.Īs for Podcast Lounge, I have no complaints and I can't speak of encountering any bugs. No matter what I do, even deleting feeds and re-subscribing would not resolve the problem. Sometimes different feeds just wouldn't update. Even if my phone was 100% charged and on WI-FI it wouldn't update my feeds.

I had the HD version of windows weekly and on several occasions I'd burn through my whole months allotment because of this. I always set my phone to show only things on the device in the display and prevent me from picking something wrong but it would still stream it. An episode would be downloaded but the app would stream it and use the data plan. This could be an encoding problem with certain shows but I experienced it across different podcasts - maybe it is an OS thing? I don't have this experience with Podcast Lounge so to me it appears it was the app. It made listening intolerable. I waited for updates to correct this but they never did. Every 30 seconds or so it would drop out and it got progressively worse as the episode went on.

The longer the episode ran the more it would drop out. Podcasts would not play properly toward it was more than 30 minutes long. I wanted so bad to just stay with the XBOX app but it was buggy and problematic for me. I'm willing to take a look again someday but here are some of the problems I had. I switched to Podcast Lounge from the XBOX app.
