  • They’ve greatly improved this apps stability in iOS

    For the past 5 years I have not used Player FM except in a web browser. So no app. It was great in Android, but awful in iOS. I would have rated it a 2 at that time. This weekend I started thinking about getting a new phone, and I was leaning toward Samsung because of this player. Sounds nuts, I know. But I really missed the player and haven’t listened to a lot of podcasts over the past 5 yrs because of the Apple player. Before making a decision, I decided to see if Player FM was still crashing frequently, still losing my place. I am happy to say that it hasn’t crashed once! It takes a while to load and there are some unnecessary splash screens with suggested podcasts upon opening and even if you leave the app for just a few minutes, but I’m so glad that once I get past that and find what I’m looking for, it’s great. It doesn’t play that nicely with CarPlay, but I can get past that. Now I can stay with the iPhone if I choose! (There are other things I miss about Android but this was one of the top 2. )Thanks for what I’m sure was a lot of hard work to fix the issues. Wish I’d tried the app again sooner! Edit: I spoke too soon. Oddly, it doesn’t like when I click on screenshots in my Files folder. I’m not sure how clicking those files affects the player, but it does, and if I do it too many times, the app crashes. I’m hoping it’s because I have an old phone XR with I think 4 GB of RAM and when I get a new phone that issue won’t happen.

  • Sync error deleted everything!!

    Constantly asked to sign in, but then it gives me a sync error. It made the app completely unusable. After constantly trying to create an account to get past the error, it deleted everything I had. Downloads, podcasts I was following. Everything.

  • Best audio app

    Player FM has all the features I want as a power user, but the quality is not on par. The search function is not good, the app does not sync well with the web version, and recently, I lost all of my recent bookmarks for no apparent reason.

  • Inaccessible for consumers who are blind and rely on screen reading software to access information.

    This app is not usable by consumers who are blind and rely on screen reading software to access information. The play button is not visible to voiceover, Apple's built-in screen reading software on iOS devices. Numerous other buttons are not labeled as well. please improve the accessibility of the Player FM app for voiceover users. I am a paid subscriber and literally cannot use the very service I paid for.

  • STILL hasn’t fixed UI bugs jumping around

    By NickGeorge89
    I used to love this app, even so much that I would pay for a subscription. But I stopped using it last year in favor of another beta app. Unfortunately, that other app stopped so I went back here and come to find out that they have still not fixed the UI bugs. So frustrating! On top of that, they still have the battery drain bug!

  • Better than Apple

    By BobAthensGA
    It helps me organize podcasts much better than Apple native app. That was the feature I was looking for. It has a really annoying feature when you open it that always wants to suggest a podcast. Hard to see the skip button because it’s usually on the treadmill or in the car. It would be 5 stars if I could turn that off.
