Lots of Good Science

I have listened to 375 episodes so far. All of the episodes have good information in them. I always learn something new. I plan on catching up to the latest episodes by the end of the year. Listening to the episodes on the way to and from work make the commute much more interesting.

I have always loved Astronomy and this podcast is the best. They have very good chemistry and can explain things in a way that the average Joe can understand. Highly recommend it.
My Favorite

Over the past couple years, I have listened to every episode at least three times and am on my fourth listening now. I’ve contributed twice, visited an observatory and recently gave the AWB 130 telescope as a holiday gift. The question shows are my favorite since they cover so many topics. Thank you.
Obsolete!

Way out of date!! I use it on an iPhone Xs- it looks like it was last updated for an iPhone 5! Doesn’t fit the screen (I’m not even talking about the newer bezel-less displays- I mean it’s at least an inch short on top & bottom - like a letter box style movie) and has very old iPhone style graphics indicating its obsolescence. For such a great and current show, you’d think they’d keep on top of their app. Even if it is only for streaming. (Second star only because the show is great...). Please update!!!
Wonderful podcast, but app needs work
Astro Cast Fan
I am a big fan of Astronomy Cast, so I was excited to get this app. Unfortunately, unless things are going to be updated, the iTunes search function is easier to use than this app if you are trying to look for an archived episode (important for new listeners). Most of the older episodes are not dated or titled either at the moment. Also, I have not found any of the PDFs, maybe they are attached to specific shows. It would be cool if all of the PDFs were all accessible in one place, with a reference to the show it came from. Thanks to all of the astronomy cast folks who put so much effort into this exceptional podcast! Keep up the wonderful work!
Huge Fan of the Podcast

Fraser/Pamela - I love the Podcast, but the app is a much diminished user experience compared to just downloading the podcast through iTunes. I fully expect Apple to pull this app in their push to ensure apps provide a higher standard and don't just duplicate existing functionality to make a buck. I bought this app totally on your recommendation as a way of supporting the Podcast. I hope between Apple and Wizzard Media that you are getting some of these funds. -3M

My main gripe has been taken care or with this update, which was retina display support. Only other thing is that the older episodes aren't labeled effectively.
