When you pay for premium content for a month it is nice when it lasts more than one day at a time before your kicked off for an indeterminate amount of time or now...apparently, permanently. Try to log on, get forced to a pay again. You don’t have premium. Except for the FACT! that I have an email from the company thanking me for my purchase. Buyer beware big time!!!!!

Amazing content, terrible app.

I am so disappointed with how this app functions since so much good content is on here. The app doesn’t play things in order, it loses what I was listening to and often can’t load content or crashes. I won’t be continuing my subscription.

It’s a great podcast app

What kind of imbecile decided it would be a good idea to delete previously downloaded podcasts for its users. Stitcher deletes downloaded podcasts before you even have a chance to listen to them.

I have been a Stitcher user for years but their podcast player is becoming increasingly difficult to use. It crashes constantly and they seem to be increasing the amount of ads to the point where many podcasts are unlistenable.
Unless you are looking for a Stitcher exclusive, just stick to Apple Podcasts.

This app has the least intuitive GUI i have ever encountered. i’ve been using it for a year and I still am nit 100% sure where to find a list of podcasts I'm subscribed to or that i have downloaded! It’s obnoxious that i feel like i have to relearn how to use the app everytime i open it, and i use it daily! Please fix it!!

I’ve been using the app for several years now. I love all the content but the user experience is still not comparable to other podcasting apps. Not the easiest interface to navigate. Also, I’m still having issues with downloading apps, even after the last update. I just downloaded 2 episodes on WiFi and after they finished, they disappeared. Had to try and download again but now they won’t even begin to download. I have similar issues on LTE as well.

It’ll do if Stitcher is also in your vehicle already. They get credit for being there early.
Otherwise, the app has a long history of bugs. My favourite being the about every-other-year bug of randomly playing podcasts in your pocket (turn off auto play on launch until it’s fixed).
Only install if you learnt about the app form something else, if you searched for a good pod catcher, keep going.

Really bad layout, it would be nice if they just copied and pasted the Apple podcast app. Wish they had a “delete after the played” choice. Instead of manually doing it. Just refresh app and downloads your favourites would be nice. I love Comedy Bang Bang but not enough to keep Stitcher Premium.

Version 9.2.3
This program has an unnecessarily hard layout, you can’t listen to old episodes on certain podcasts, some podcasts don’t work on older phones, and on top of all that, today they made it so my favourite podcast (my favourite murder) and TONS of other fan favourite podcasts are locked behind a monthly paywall. I’ve never heard anything good said about this app and the newest paywall feature is the nail in the coffin. I will be uninstalling this garbage program until stitcher gets their act together.

The idea is great, and I love getting to listen to older content. However the app regularly crashes and will not continue the podcasts. One in every like three will work, but it waits until engulfed in the episode, so it’s extra painful. I feel like I won’t be continuing to pay for premium because of the total frustration.

Great content. This app is a piece of garbage. There are way too many good podcasts apps out there. Build pricing through existing channel if this is the app you take to market. POS.
Bad UX, awkward ui. Hard to navigate the content. Also having this botch of a paywall messes up how all the content appears on other apps. Please rethink this strategy.

Despite having the option ticked for only downloading on WIFI, if you hit next podcast it can pick a podcasts from a feed that you may not have downloaded.
Moreover, there are podcasts in my “feed” that I can’t remove, so there’s podcasts from people I dislike that stitcher is recommending that I can’t remove.

This was an easy (only?) way to access podcast episodes older than those available on the Apple podcasts app. While I am happy to pay for that content (which I love), this app is routinely frustrating. It freezes at least once every use, especially when switching from to/from wifi. It doesn’t always remember where in an episode you are, or even what episode you are listening too.

Great podcasts has really great potential to be amazing however she dont play well with Alexa.. you ask for a certain podcast.. cant find it or plays something completely different.
You should make sure the episodes have numbers in front of them.. maybe that would help? You know “Alexa play Gunsmoke episode 1”. Then she might actually pick that one. Needs some more testing. Looking forward to updates

I've been loving it, intending to continue the monthly subscription, but with this last update the app just crashes every time I hit the play button. I have an older iPad which may be part of the problem but I'm not going to buy a new iPad just to keep using this app. Sorry Stitcher, you've updated your way past at least one customer.

This app is astonishingly bad.
I will not be renewing my subscription to stitcher premium based solely on the fact I have to use this app to access it.
There is a lot wrong, but let’s focus on offline mode.
Offline mode is a joke - you have to wait on a splash screen until the startup requests timeout and then get shown an alert view telling you there was an error, and then you finally get to tap on a button that says “use offline mode”.
Once you have finally made it in you will see that under your favourite shows it is randomly unable to find the downloaded episodes that you definitely have as you can still see them in the big mixed up list of downloaded content.
If you do manage to listen to an episode of a show you will then be forced to delete the download yourself, but only if a new piece of content has started playing.
Anyway, it’s horrible. Get overcast.
