User Reviews
I had no idea I was going to be able to start my podcast until I found this app. And I have others that can inspire me with so many other podcasters on here
Once you upgrade your service you aren’t allowed to downgrade to a cheaper plan. You have to completely delete your account and all content and start over. Sometimes when my cohost and I record, we can’t hear the other person in the playback as well. It’s been discouraging and we are looking to leave Podbean and use a different service. I’ve paid for an upgrade twice, one is $40 a month and I still don’t have enough credits to do AI editing each time.
It takes up very little storage on my phone, only about 200 megabytes All other podcast apps take up much more, Apple podcasts over 1 gig
Great show
A phenomenal resource! Interesting, informative, objective, amazing! I have listened to several podcasts using this venue — always a positive, wonderful experience!
I have been using this app for years, and it has really gone downhill lately. Now it has ads in the user interface even if you pay the annual subscription fee. It doesn’t handle basic functionality well, such as letting you manage when episodes get downloaded. It’s a pain when you discover new podcasts that already have a lot of old episodes. There are features that simply don’t work. I think I will have to find a new alternative and set up all my subscriptions from scratch, because this app just isn’t worth it anymore.
I like this app much better than others I’ve tried.
Discontinued Livestreaming after we paid for that specifically. Not great service or customer care.
