  1. 5/5Love!

    Great app that covers a real gap in the market! It’s great to be able to block most podcasts and allow what I want. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while! Only thing is I’d love is if there were a way to either save podcasts or have a place where all downloaded episodes are generated. Apple Podcasts has this feature and it’s nice to have a playlist of sorts of episodes I want to listen to. Also a play next feature would be cool as well. I’m currently on the free trial but can see myself paying for the year. Thank you! :)

    Well, I’ll be · 7 Aug 2026

  2. 5/5Great!!!

    Gertrude AM is an awesome app! Finally we can choose to open select podcasts to our teens. It even gives us the option to block the podcast’s images… What a great idea! Thanks so much for making this app available!

  3. 5/5Simple and safe!!

    Finally there’s a podcast app that allows parents to control both the CONTENT and the IMAGES that kids have access to on podcasts!

  4. 5/5Thank you!

    Hello! We love the app but wondering why we cannot buy a subscription to keep the app working. I keep getting prompted that the in app purchases are not allowed.

  5. 5/5Amazing podcast app!

    I can’t thank the creator enough for creating a clean podcast app for families and children! I don’t know what I would do without this safe app! Honestly, it’s amazing.
