It took a week to figure the app out. It takes 40 minutes of vigilance to insure a podcast makes it to the watch. And then to boot, it rendered all other apps on my watch unable to play any audio. I had to do a hard reset on the watch to get everything working again. I would suggest finding another app.

Best option out there to get the podcasts on your watch and listen when running or out without your phone. Key way to download: 1) must be on your home WiFi network 2) turn your iPhone into airplane mode 3) search for the podcast on your watch and download from there - it will run directly from WiFi and download in a flash

Says Watch needs to open to start process. Been sitting here for 15 minutes. Arm up. Watch open. Still tells me Watch needs to be open. Nothing happens.

Not at all intuitive nor user friendly. Very unreliable transfer of podcasts to my Apple Watch. I have already deleted the

I’d love to give the App a great review but it’s too buggy. When it works, it works well but when it doesn’t is extremely frustrating. It’s very easy to download podcasts to phone but transferring to Apple Watch is extremely slow WHEN it works. Sometimes I have to try several times until it transfers. When I am finally able to transfer a podcast to the Apple Watch it’s “hit or miss” to be able to hear it play. Many times I have to either play something via ITunes first, then start the podcast. If that doesn’t work, I have to reset the watch. Hopefully Apple will allow podcasts to be downloaded to Apple Watch without the need for a 3rd party App soon.

This is the best podcast app that I could find for the Apple Watch. The interface is somewhat confusing because of Apple’s requirements, according to the developer- hence, the 4 stars. Be sure to watch the developer’s help video in the help section of the app. Also, read Yoboyo’s 5 star review for a more complete view. Thanks to the developer.

So i managed to download one podcast and the audio didn’t work this was after waiting 20 minutes for that entire process to get going. The feed doesn’t serve any purpose if you can’t rip episodes for offline easily. The transfer from iPhone was faster but here again the audio did not work. Just files of nothing. Then the app kept freezing and shutting down. A COMPLETE WASTE of money.

Poor interface, it won’t work as advertised. Waste of money. Don’t pay 99 cents for this app

I just wanted to be able to hear podcasts out of my Apple Watch while running. It seems that there is no ability to send a podcast over with the new update or something? I keep getting the “session could not be started” message even though I’m doing exactly what it tells me to do, with the watch face lit up and everything. I’ve tried everything and googled the problem several times, nothing. 99 cents wasted. Oh well.

Been transferring to watch for 2 weeks only one podcast has actually transferred 100%. Got better things to do than waste time baby sitting this app
