Very entertaining very enjoyable.
Such a big menu to choose from. Whatever my mood, the selections fit.
Well researched; timely.
Instantly took over my phone. I'm old -- too hard
Took over phone without asking. Wanted a podcast app.
I will m look 7m will b
There is no reason to choose this ad ridden app that sells your info to third parties. There are great free & one time fee podcast players out there. An example of this app's venality: when asking if you want to set it as default you get yes or no as radio buttons but then instead of 'okay' as a button choice, the options are 'cancel' and 'set as default' (so even if you've chosen no, it sets itself as default and you get ads when you click settings options *on your own phone*. Don't do it.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD! It'll try to take over your phones UI.
This app took over my home screen and "sorted" my icons into tiny bubbles. I got rid of it right away. DO NOT use this app!
Can not open it
Very good
I just got pod cast I let u know wat I think
No spam, takes over yer phone
Am I missing something? Is there a way to listen to a podcast without this thing taking over and rearranging your home screen(s)? If not this app sucks!
Help! I could not uninstall this App except through Google Play and the app hijacked my phone, made yahoo my main search engine, and completely took over my home screens and ability to handle calls. The contact email for the App on this page does not exist. THIS app IS A SCAM, DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Took over my phone layout. What a cheek!
It's cooler than an iPad podcasts
Ditto what other non-cyborg//un-paid users have said. Thought this was essentially Apple podcasts app for Android. Instead it made my home screen a nightmarish fake podcast hell. Hopefully I'll be able to change it back. No app should have this much power to change such essential navigational components of your phone with a destructive de-optimisational renovation. Google Play really needs to reign these overreaching mutha-effers in.
Changed entire layout and hijacks UI and settings of your phone. Do not install.
Podcasts Home replaced my phones desktop with its own layout and with its own different apps. It disabled the drag and drop uninstall feature of my Pixel 6 so I couldn't uninstall the app. In my phone's settings, it disabled force stop and disable. I spent an hour trying to get rid of it. I finally succeeded by going back to Play store and uninstalling the app from there. Podcasts Home is destructive and Google should remove it immediately.
I love it
okay
DON'T USE THIS - Lot's of users are reporting the app trying to take over their phone. If you read this, report the app. I suspect this was once a good app, but is sadly using it's reputation for exploitation.
Great
NO! Completely reconfigured my whole phone. Took hours of trial and error to get rid of it!! NO!
Once I downloaded this app it took over my phone- just as MANY others have stated. What the HELL? To delete, hold finger on app icon, a box will pop up- select DELETE... I won't make this mistake again...shame on you Google!!!
I love Rachel she tells it like it is.
I' love my games
Garbage. Don't change my phones layout. I just want to listen to a podcast. Don't download.
I hate this app. It took over my phone, inserted a whole page of unwanted icons, and worst, I can't uninstall it. Help!
I have and will continue too. Especially Rachel Maddow-Ultra
This app scares me l. I try to download load it then it won't let me exit to look at other apps when it downloads then it's takes over my phone taking original apps away putting them into sorta like the back of my phone. It's takes my phone over and putting ads and stuff on. I'm deleting this slice of hell. No cap
Ruins my phone DO NOT GET.
it's your podcast app and a good one
Continuously demands I change default "home" to this app.
Absolutely the worst, takes over your phone instantly with no warning, changes the whole layout! And you can't get rid of it I hate it what a big mistake I Made!!!
great
Not sure how to use it? I probably would like it if I knew how to use it
Did not want this-Took away a lot of my other aps. Will not let me uninsall ☹
I don't like that this app wants to take over my phone! It changes my screen saver. It changed all of my screens and some of my apps disappeared! It's just podcasts? I don't mind ads, but why does it want access to everything in my phone? I deleted it.
This app took over my phone. An example of an app thinking it is more than it is. They will paste some BS explanation but there is NO justification for thinking they are better than the interface we are using.
dont like changes made to my phone home- center page
The app takes over your phone's home screen and even if you say don't use it as your default head still automatically changes it to default. For that reason I would have given it 0 stars out of 5 I would not recommend
It canges the hole layout of your phone
How do i get this off my screen?? Uninstalled but it's still there with the uninstall greyed out. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
This app tries to take over the whole screen. Do not download.
Good....
Terrible application. Changes your entire phone and just wants to trick you looking like apple.
To tell you the truth, I don't have a lot of time to listen. But when I do I use this app. It has everything I need in one place. So it saves me time.
You guys did an excellent job however I'm still looking for the Jimmy Swaggart podcast anybody knows where it is let me know thank you
I Been in the cLeaning Buisnessi for 10 beers now and I Love it
awesome app
🔥
great
I didn't download this app! I'm guessing it's spyware? It changes your ph settings and ads adds to your home screen. It would not let me uninstall the normal way. I had to get my son who works in IT to uninstall it.......
Warning - this app will continually try to take over your home screen. Even when you say no, it will trick you into it. Stay away .
EXCELLENT!
Wonderful Job
It is Carol I. Am Tammy's,. Mom it. Is a good. App.
🎀🎆🐩🦄🎹🔊🏚🤗🧘♀️🏆🏅🥇🎖🎁 I Love you
Ridiculous. Takes over your whole phone. Avoid this app at all costs.
Bro, why to much access to phones! And it takes over my UI Home settings. No thank you.
Like others said it changed my whole phone around. I hate it. Uninstalled and everything went back to normal. I just wanted a podcast app.
I'm only giving three stars for this app only because I really didn't understand it maybe if I would have stayed more on to it then maybe it could work for me I thought I was recording everything I was doing thank you
Great experience
This app takes over your whole phone layout background and app layouts change. Its like getting a completely different phone. Doesn't have the podcasts I wanted so I Uninstaller as couldn't cope with layout change.
Be careful this is like a virus taking over the entire phone - got rid of it and never ever touch it again
Not a podcast app. A phone launcher.
Good I enjoy the crime and who dun its so I can see 👀 plenty of interesting things to listen to.
Los Angeles CA 90011 Jose Joel Martinez Cardoza
I like this.
Very Nice, Customizable, layout
😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍 Good
Sucks glitchy
Terabol
Immediately after download, it changed EVERYTHING in my phone. I couldn't find anything I wanted. As soon as I uninstalled, everything went back to normal.
Works but not the greatest ui.
Its ok
Restarted phone and update kept flashing on and off had to restart phone and delete
Took over whole phone, I don't like this I use. My phone for phone and it messed with the whole home screen and rearranged everything I don't like that I don't like an app that can take over a whole phone y'all need to fix this and just make it a app, this is a mess.
Doesnt have tge picast im looking for
This is more of a virus than an app. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Go boil your heads
it's... different...
very cool
😁
Good 👍😊
I love this app because, it will let me listen to a lot of podcasts.
Installed and took over my phone. Wouldn't let me access it until I agreed to have it as default on my home screen. Uninstalled straightaway.
Horrible takes over your home screen downloads un what'd apps and hard to delete . AVOID DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!BAD APP👎
Bugged my phone. Do not install!!! Looks just like the Apple podcasts but is a scam. Delete it.
Installed itself and took over everything. There's precious little info on how to uninstall (I haven't figured it out yet) Who cares if it works for podcasts? It takes over your home screen and throws inwanted ads at you. Avoid!
I don't want this in, on or around my cell phone. But it is there and I can't get rid of it. I don't follow podcasts or create them. It is just wasting space on my phone.
This app took over my phone, I don't appreciate that, I like my phone how I set it up, not the apps way.
This app is not good I mean it completely change my home settings and I can't even delete apps
Do not download, it will completely mess up your phone layout and difficult to undo!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This is horrible, it's almost like a virus. It replaces your home screen and starts pushing ads at you.
This app tried to take over my cell. All I wanted was to listen to podcasts. I deleted it with some effort.
I didn't like the way this app loaded extra stuff on my phone and nagged at me to change the launch settings, so decided to delete it. Couldn't do it from the home screen like usual, but had to go into settings, select apps, select your silly app and delete it from there.
This app is a parasite, it takes over you phone , changes your settings, disables face id log in, and all sorts of other things.
It messed with my other apps. Had to uninstall. The app itself was great.
If I could put minus stars I would this POS changed all my settings and home screen added unwanted apps it's garbage don't use it
Changes your phone settings. Won't let you uninstall. Do not download.
This app tried to take over my entire interface. No Uninstaller option on its icon. Adds all over the place! To Uninstall, go to play store and you should be able to manually do it there up top. All responses to issues is copy paste with no solution in comments. Don't let them do you dirty.
Don't install it. It changed everything on my phone and turned off all of my notifications. It stopped me from being able to access certain settings and there were ads everywhere.
I downloaded this app. I saw that there would be ads. This app reformatted how all the apps are displayed on my phone. It replaced Google Chrome with Bing as my default search engine replaced permanent ads on my phone with all the other apps. I couldn't install it in the settings and I was worried I'm glad that I came back to write this review and saw that I could uninstall it here on this page.
It is marketed as a podcast app, there's no reason it should want to monkey around with the home screen. #reported
It had a ride along program that changed my entire layout, home screen, design. Mixed up all my shortcuts and added adds. I just wanted to listen to a podcast you jerks.
Without asking any permission at all, the app changes your home settings and display set-up! Not cool at all!
Changes home screen and adds unrequested apps. Edit: Seems they have a copy+paste response they give everyone as you can see. "access to content that you actually care about" - no, I don't care about that content at all, no one does, it's adware and as such is basically malware. I should never have to adjust settings on my phone, this is a complete dark pattern, unethical practice.
I love it! Though, there's always room for improvement, is there not? Right now, I have no suggestions for you, but if I do ever come up with any, can I get an email as to where I could suggest them to? Thank you for this!
AWFUL, I can't listen to who I choose, can't uninstall, changed everything on my phone. Your APP is not working for me at all.
Takes over phone and installs a dozen other apps, changes settings, and difficult to uninstall in order to undo damage done
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP! IT INSTALS A BUNCH OF GARBAGE. And then has the uninstall blacked out. Not allowing you to uninstall any of them. Garbage!
I absolutely love this app. I get to listen to some of my favorite stories and get to enjoy new ones, no matter what I'm doing. So many topics and interest.
The limited podcasts suck, I find all my favorites on castbox, plus I hate the launcher
This is the WORST APP I have ever installed. I read that other reviewers indicated that the app changed the icons on their home page, but I assumed they were luddites. I should have believed them because installing this app caused the following unexpected issues: * removed my weather app from my home page * created a new home page with features I didn't want * rearranged my App icons so I can't easily find them * and more but I have wasted enough time on this AWFUL App.
Nightmare. It changed the order of my apps, took them all out of their groupings. I had to go into the app store and click, Uninstall. It would not allow me to do it by pushing down on the app on the screen. I have an android for others this has happened to.
Poor layout needs updated and can't download shows/episodes
Changed my settings. Does not autoplays the previous episode of a podcast rather than the next one.
Changed everything on my phone to the app and wouldn't let me uninstall it until I went back to the app store. I don't know why so many of the reviews are five stars because this is an awful app.
Really annoyed that it messed with all my home settings so I immediately uninstalled this garbage. Also doesn't allow you to uninstall from your home screen, these devs are devious and deserve a swift punch in the face
Love the podcasts and listen to them while cleaning, cooking, and doing dishes.
It took over my phone and changed all my screens! Stay away! Also adds a ton of advertisements.
Can you do zero stars? How do I get this stupid app off my phone? It has controlled my home page and there are endless popup adds. What is the trick to getting it off your phone?
Trash. Dont have anything good an after installment it decides to mess with my wallpaper an gadgets. Not trust worthy
It took over everything on phone. Uninstalled immediately, but had to use a 3rd party app to do so. This app set itself up to not allow an uninstall.
Do NOT download this app. It takes over all widgets and changes home screen.
This changed everything on my phone and reset all my widgets even though I said NOT to set it as default. I was just looking for a podcast player. Deleted rught away and everything went back to normal.
today I rate it 4* stars with a rating of 4.8 It is not yet a perfect running entity because we are not your business partners.This editing service will agree it a awesome mobile. You don't know where it is headed thought. Your next employee evaluation should rat you a perfect score.
I enjoy them excellent source of entertainment and higher learning
If I could give no stars I would. Do not want this as my "home" app I have my phone just the way I want it thank you very little.
It changed my whole home screen! Plus, I had to go through multiple steps to uninstall. Warning! Do not install
Do not install this app. It hijacks your home page, changes shapes of your icons, imbeds ads everywhere and you have to disable it first before you can uninstall it. Took 30 min to figure out how to delete it.
Does not show time frame or how long the podcast is. Poor.
Once updated it changed my phone so I uninstalled app...app has potential but needs adjustments..changing phone arrangement is NOT acceptable
What is up with the obsession to set it as my home app? Had to uninstall after 2 minutes of this. Incredibly annoying.
Changed all my app set up and my screen picture and all my fixtures. And even added so many stupid apps which I don't care about them. I tried to get ride of all those apps but doesn't work I can't uninstall them. I don't like when they do that, not even asking us to add those apps. I uninstalled this podcasts app but didn't get ride of all those apps. HATE IT. Please someone tell me how to uninstall this app. I tried but all these apps still there and there is no more option to uninstall.
It takes over you home screen and can not be uninstalled directly you have to go to mange apps. Lots of adds also.
excellent app!! it.. so far, has done exactly as advertised i am pleased. so great job to the software and overall development team
This app totally took over the phone and moved apps, reconfigured everything. Deleted it faster than I installed.
I do not want to make this my default home app, whatever that means. No matter how many times I hit "don't ask again" it keeps asking, more and more aggressively. I deleted the app after two days.
whatever your got need with real well forecast to get best will got in this really most weather locally you're helping but I have no one get stressed and depression now. but there no stressful give permission it's so not upset for boredom with going constantly doing nothing at once.
Podcasts Home didn't work for me. I don't like the idea of an app usurping all other apps in favor of its matrix. It might be great for someone else.
Didn't find the podcast that I wanted to listen to, and it changed my whole home screen. Do not download. Luckily when I deleted the app, my old home settings were active.
It keeps trying to share my location and my location is not in the state where my team is playing that sucks talks or somebody can help me where I can watch my team
I'm very mew in listening to podcasts. I'm mostly interested in True Crime type podcasts so I have started there. I'm also interested in medicine and I need to find medical type podcasts, as well. I'm open to just about anything, I guess, but I'm sure I'll find a few different genres that pique my interest!!!
I never leave reviews like this, but my experience with this app was so awful, I just had to. It completely changes your home screen settings and makes changing them back an enormous hassle. Extremely frustrating, totally not worth it.
THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!I felt like I was gonna cry. Everything changed, my apps how they worked. My phone stopped working I hate this app
Very limited casts, hard to access, changed all my phone settings. Had to delete. App sucks
Terrible podcast app. No way to update for newest episode. No episodes available past the date of first following. Harasses you for permission to everything it doesn't need and to let the app determine your home screen while giving you no services in return. Uninstalling now.
This podcast is interesting to hear and cases I have not heard before. I listen to this podcast when I am making dinner and afterwards too. I like listen to it. Which I give it a 5 star rating.
Terrible! Moved my icons all over, unlinked many apps, icons in dock keep jumping up and down.
I opened the app and it changed the operating system on my Google pixel. I didn't ask it to do that, and then it put ads everywhere. Like ads in my apps section and in the settings bar. There are other podcast apps that are just that and don't try to change your phone.
So far I don't like it because I haven't been able to get any music all I've got is a bunch of ads
Mixed Feelings. Podcast works great BUT... as other reviews stated. It changed everything on my phone. I have Samsung galaxy 9. It changed all my setting, moved all apps, changes all my stuff and added some dumb menu that keeps jiggling like it asking you to look at it, click it, USE IT...nagging and annoying.
This app will take over your entire phone, rearrange all of your app icons, home page, functionality... It's android poison. Steer clear
