User Reviews

User reviews consistently praise Podcast Guru for its clean UI, easy navigation, broad podcast availability, reliable playback, and helpful last-played position feature, with strong support and value in the free+premium model. However, repeated concerns center on stability and UX changes: crashes, freezes, and random stops; the Offline tab has been moved or hidden which frustrates frequent users; playback and loading quirks including speed controls and loading episodes; occasional mid-podcast ads; and some playlist/ordering issues. Overall, most users regard it as among the best Android podcast apps, but stability and UX consistency improvements are requested.

Pros

Clean, well-organized UI/UX that’s easy to use.
Reliable playback and broad podcast availability.
Last-played position resumes at the last episode for quick pickup.
Good value with a useful free tier and optional premium.
Responsive support and active development.

Cons

Offline tab buried or removed, making access inconvenient (moved under Playlists or hidden).
Stability issues: crashes, random closes, freezing, and interruptions.
Playback/loading glitches: inconsistent episode loading and playback speed controls issues.
Mid-podcast ads appear for some users (inconsistent ad experience).
Playlist/ordering issues: items not loading in order or needing sorting.

Recent reviews

Current version throws errors due to incorrect file type for podcasts that until now worked just fine. Reports to app support go unreplied to and unresolved. I have been a paid supporter of this app for years now and it's frustrating that its unusable and no assistance with the issues has been offered. Update: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and now it refuses to let me log into the cloud profile I paid for so I can't even access my saved info or log a bug report. Garbage.
