5/5How great is this?
Truly an outstanding app. Podcasts works sort of but not as well as you’d expect. Other apps are both ugly and overblown. Queue just works. I don’t need complicated. I listen to a few podcasts that come out weekly. I generally just want to listen I order. That’s not asking so much. But only Queue delivers. I’d love to see a watch version for times I’m out without my phone. That would be incredible. Thank you

5/5Lovely User Interface
This app is the most carefully designed app I have seen in ages, you can tell that the developer and designer has poured so much attention and effort into every single feature. A huge selection of podcasts too! The sign-in screen in amazingly simple. The UI feels very natural for listening to podcasts. I don’t even know the dev and I’m proud of them.

1/5Needs OPML support
Queue is what I’ve wanted since day 1 with podcasts. Just give me one long buffet of my podcasts. that’s it. I’ve got a long list of shows that I follow. But i can’t switch to Queue if there’s a way to import my shows. The intro is way too long. And why do i need to give them my Apple ID? If you’re asking a user to give you info, you need to tell them why you need it. And don’t make it mandatory. Pricing is also way off. $5/mo doesn’t unlock anything compelling or vital. Even if I wanted to support the dev, it’s not gonna be that much. Looks positive, but still needs work.

5/5Great new podcast player with a lovely UI
This app came along at a time when I was getting bored of my usual podcast players and looking for something new. The UI is as exciting as anything I’ve used recently and this latest update addressed the downloading bug, which was my remaining hesitation about switching entirely. I’m now looking forward to CarPlay integration.

3/5Looking forward to checking out future versions
I think this is a great start on an alternative that the App Store really needs. I do hope there is an iPad app in the future, and then I will be more inclined to switch from Overcast. I’m sorry, but I cannot currently support chapter markers being behind a paywall. I hope you reconsider this in the future. Also, the Log Out and Delete Account features do not work (neither button does anything).
