Good app, I like it. But I moved from using Spotify because there was no way to disable autoplay after a podcast finishes and I cannot find this feature in Himalaya as well. I find the lack of this feature maddening and will probably just go back to Apple Podcasts. Ugh, I just hate this lack of a feature in seemingly most podcast apps. Anyone have a suggestion of what to try next?

You can not hear podcast even when my phone is new. It cuts off in the middle of a podcast and I have to restart the app. Iy’s been four months since there was a glitch and I can’t still listen to my podcast. I read this same happened to other people. Never use this app. You will regret it.

I like the features to discover new podcasts.
I’d like it if there were better ways to group podcasts I follow.
I hate that I cannot paste my password in when I’m signing in. It makes me so ANGRY >:/

They just released a major update and now the app is significantly more terrible. Crashes every time you try to look at “Recent History”. The only options are to sort by show (In the order you subscribed to them so impossible to find anything logically) or by episode (most recent). It has made the navigation terrible and I’m looking for alternate apps to use.

Listening and stops working requires closing and restart and that sometimes doesn’t work. Apple podcast never did this so must be the app and not phone. Going back to Apple. Too bad because I liked the Himalaya features.

Good, but can’t fast forward or rewind

Version 2.3.60
The app is so good, but whenever I try to slide the slider to fast forward or rewind, it doesn’t “grab” so I’m left to tap +/- 15 sec buttons a hundred times until I get to where I want to be. If they fix this issue it’s a 5 star app but it gets very annoying

I like this app a lot but a few Podcasts I listen to are limited to the latest 100 episodes. Meanwhile other apps don’t seem to have this limit on the same Podcasts. I sent feedback to the developer but haven't heard back for almost two weeks.

It took me a while to connect with the app formatting. The downloads word was hardlyNoticeable but the app eventually began to be user friendly.

The whole app is awesome, but the downloading process of the podcasts is quite slow. There’s been times where I forgot to download a podcast then I will have to do it right before I leave and it takes around 2-5 minutes, granted that can change depending on how many you download at a time.

I would like to have a group of podcasts sorted in the order that they were first aired. I would like to listen to Under the Influence, starting with season one.

I love the way this app is organized. I find it easy to see what podcasts have new episodes and which podcasts episodes have been downloaded. However, sometimes I will go to my downloaded episodes and the episode will be downloaded but it won’t play. Sometimes when I go to resume listening to an episode, rather than resuming from where I was paused at, it will restart from the beginning.

Wow so buggy

I loved the app at first, but now I’m not so sure. I can’t comment on anything (I couldn’t at first either) and there’s no option to like a podcast. Now nothing is downloading but they still show up in the “my downloads” area.

Impressed so far

So far it works great and most importantly has a sleep timer unlike the app that came standard with my Xs. Really enjoying it and would recommend.
I do have two comments though. First, it’s weird that the sleep timer is in the settings. I’m glad to have the functionality but that’s not an intuitive place to put it. Second, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to rate shows. I see that I can “like” individual episodes and comment on them, but I can’t find anywhere to give a review for the show as a whole. Am I missing something?

Awesome app, some minor bugs tho

Great app! Maybe there should be an unplayed tab like in spotify so it can automatically play unplayed episodes from different podcasts. And when binge listening episodes from the same podcast, it played the first few seconds and the replayed it.

Good but...

I’m annoyed that old episodes of everything are only on stitcher. This is the best free podcast app I’ve used but the whole back catalogues of things being only on stitcher premium makes me want to switch to that

I have grown to love this podcast app after using it for a few months. It has many flexible options for playback (speed, order, sleep setting) and download/offline-listening. I can find all the podcasts that I listen to. The only compliant would be to be able to tie the shuffle (fast-forward and rewind buttons) to the corresponding Bluetooth buttons for cars and speakers. Nonetheless, highly recommended and thank you to the developers for all the hard work.
