Generally good experience, can find podcasts and subscribe easily. Downloads can be troublesome, if the download is bad can just start skipping back and forth in sections, wish there was a better integrity check to avoid it. When playing a specific podcast it always plays down the list, which can be confusing if you're trying to listen in order and the most recent is at the top. You can reverse this, but sometime I want to see the most recent and play up. Would like to see better controls.

Thanks, Tadhg! We've taken note of your concerns. Meanwhile, should you experience issues with downloads, you may consider re-downloading them by accessing the episode's screen and tapping on the [Downloaded/Error] label. Please don't hesitate to mail us at [email protected] should you need further assistance or have suggestions for improvement.

Player FM is a pretty great podcast player. There's an array of customization options, from how your subscribed podcasts are displayed, themes, and episode queueing, among others. Two things I wish I could change is (1) how dates are displayed, which is in weeks (annoying!) instead of the exact date; and (2) how episodes are/aren't displayed in playlists, i.e., played episodes aren't visible, which I don't like because I create many playlists with podcast episodes that I've played before.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the customization options. Currently, the date format is fixed to “weeks ago,” and played episodes are automatically hidden from playlists. Feel free to share your suggestions via Settings > About > Contact Us.

long time user. in fall 2026 app introduced a major bug which took way too long to fix. more generally, despite being on a paid version of the app it has increasing ad nags. often lags in loading list of episodes. app owned by Private equity which I suspect is ruining it.
