Reviews

Love the playlist feature
Ilovecomics77

Cool app. Easy to use and has a cool playlist feature that apple doesnt have. Def worth checking out.


New episodes not starting at beginning?
justwanrtolisten

I really just want a reliable and easily integrated podcast app, this one comes close but a few things are killing it for me: 1. Can’t use with Sonos (at least with what I have now) 2. New episodes commonly start inconsistently somewhere in the middle of the show


Love the layout but a few bugs and suggestions
bigdaddyryz

I started using the Himalaya app last week and I love the layout. Very clean and easy to navigate! However, episodes will occasionally start in the middle even though it is my first time playing them. This is frustrating! I also would appreciate an easy way to queue podcasts that I intend to listen to next. I cannot find that function within the app if it exists. Overall, a good start but needs some work! Thanks for the app. I look forward to seeing it evolve and grow.


Opportunity
bjamesonair

This app is ripe with opportunity. To learn, grow, elevate, get inspired, entertained, and be challenged. I’ve never taken the time to write an app review. I’m doing so now because someone needs to hear something that’s waiting for them somewhere among the peaks and valleys of Himalaya. May you find what you may not even know you have been searching for all along. Be enriched. Be encouraged. Happy hunting.


A great app, but needs some refining
JayPeeeee!

This app is great and far superior to the Apple podcast app I’ve been using for so long. It’s amazingly easy to get around, easy to find the podcast you’re looking for in you library, and it’s designed really well. I also really love that I get better recommendations from this app than on Apple podcast. I always see the same shows on Apple and nothing new. But this app isn’t without its bugs. The thing that annoys me the most is that it always starts playing what you’re listening to when you open the app which means you’ll be at work, unlock your phone, go to the app to search for a new show and as soon as it opens it starts playing a podcast for all to hear. It’s not too bad when your alone but it always happens to me public. Also when I pick an episode to listen to it will either play another episode that I didn’t choose or will start playing the episode at a random point so you have to start it from the beginning. Also I’ll be half way through a podcast, stop to listen to something else, and then come back to it it won’t remember where I was. It just plays it from the beginning again and I have to find where I was. Other than a few performance bugs I really love this app. I just want the developers to have a new update to fix them. Then they’d easily have a 5 star from me.


Quality app
AlexanderJG

Nice to have all my podcasts in the same place. Literally every podcast I have seen is on here.


A Few Suggestions...
Agatha H.

I like this app well enough, but there is one feature I would love to see implemented that would make it easier to use. It would be nice to set up a temporary queue that would delete itself when I reach the end or something like that. It’s bothersome to have to pre make a list and then go back and delete it when I’m done listening to it. It would also be nice to add a show after the one I’m listening to just in case I find something I want to listen to right away rather than wait until the end of my playlist to hear it. I listen to my shows while I work and sometimes I don’t have time to move things around in my list. I hope this made sense... but I do love the app and how it treats my favorite podcasters. Keep up the good work!


Good app
kokoronotomodachi

1. Could you add speed change selection? 2. Internet access is always unstable. 3. Could you improve the recommendations?


Keeps losing my place, clunky interface
StellaCat

I open a podcast I haven’t touched and it starts 10 minutes in. I open one I started, and it’s back at the beginning. Also, half the time I try to hit the “details” icon, the podcast starts playing.


New update is killing me
Jmoney14770

Whenever the screen locks it pauses the podcast. Hasn’t been an issue before the latest update. Need an update ASAP
