Favorite pcast'g app but Missing Shows
Oct 28, 2018 Only complaint is I have to use a different app for some podcasts that don't seem to be available on acast. But by far my favorite podcasting app - clean, easy to use. All I want to do is to subscribe & listen to specific podcasts that I've already identified. I don't want to browse, don't want to be inundated w/suggestions ... acast is not overbearing in terms of is suggestions etc. Thank [g]od! more -
Fave player
May 14, 2020 I have been using this app for two years and it is my favorite! It has a huge library of so many different types of shows. It also has the best organizer of all them. It’s the only one that lets you organize oldest to newest. It also lets you hide episodes you’ve already listened too or started more -
Love!
Jul 10, 2019 Love this app! So simple to use and visually appealing. The one thing I’d like to request is the option to put it in “light mode” and have a white background opposed to a black background. Other than that it’s perfect 👌🏻 -
Best I’ve used
Jul 3, 2018 This is the best caster I have used. Auto play works well and loading older shows auto loads as you scroll back. I like the show older first, but it seems that when it auto plays, the app plays the older episode next instead of the newer episode after that. So, show older first but play forward would be a great fix. Thanks for a great app! more -
Much better than the default apple pod cast app
Mar 26, 2019 Easier to search, navigate and keep track of the podcasts you are listening to -
Better than apples podcast app
Mar 13, 2018 Love this app, has features the iPhone app doesn't and has some podcasts that apple doesnt. Plus it has a much darker theme within the app itself. Check out the nosleep podcast, its dope -
We love dem Aussie boiz
Apr 1, 2020 When you listen to most podcasts it feels like you are involved in a conversation with friends. The light hearted, witty banter mixed with the genuine care for humans and the environment are the perfect oasis to escape to when the worlds feels to negative. Good on ya m8s more -
Mentor
Oct 9, 2020 Simon has been my mentor in building strong trusting teams and in developing my own personal growth over the past 5 years. Simon has made it “ok” to make those changes in myself because he casts no judgment. Judgments usually brings defense = no chance at connecting to make a difference. Change is hard for most.. with someone like Simon, change is welcomed and exciting.... I adore him! Christine Silva more -
Super easy interface
Nov 11, 2020 Best interface I’ve found. -
Why are we going backwards???
May 8, 2018 Love this app, but I’m sad that it’s not as easy to organize the downloaded episodes any more. And why is the auto play not working!!! I loved that feature while I was driving.

Bad sound quality
May 9, 2021 The interface is not bad, and anything they don’t have in their catalog can be added via rss. However, do not use the variable speed (which anyone who listens to podcasts a lot uses). The sound quality on anything but 1x is atrocious. more -
Used to work like a charm. Now? Not so much
Nov 24, 2016 I was drawn to this app because some podcasts I follow publish podcasts via Acast. I've had few problems with the app. Until now. Now the app fails to unsubscribe me from podcasts I don't want updates for anymore. And it won't subscribe me to podcasts I want to listen to. Maybe this bug will be fixed in the future, but I'm going to move on to other podcatchers and SoundCloud for the moment for my podcasts. more

Missing Content
Mar 6, 2017 I love the user interface. Very organized and intuitive to use, and I love the ability to download select podcasts on command. However I'm knocking two stars because a lot of podcasts seem to be unavailable, so I'm forced to switch so that I can listen to new recommendations. Specifically it seems to be smaller, indie podcasts that are tough to track down such as TYCI and Dumb People Town more

What’s Groovy
I’ve bumped into issues with other podcast apps where they automatically downloaded shows without me knowing and it would eat up all the space on my phone. Acast has a wonderful interface that makes it easy for me to subscribe and see what new episodes my favorite shows have posted so I can download and listen when I’m ready. I’ve also discovered great new content through Acast!

What’s Subpar
The interface is cluttered and confusing. It’s very difficult to listen to keep your place in a large podcast series with out downloading all of the episodes and deleting them as you go - this obviously isn’t ideal for a podcast with, say 300 episodes.
