I love the app, but the latest update has some very annoying bugs. I have a Samsung S7 and since the last update I received constant notifications while listening to podcasts. Unfortunately I will have stop using it until the next update because it is incredibly annoying...

New review: okay I have closed the session as suggested but instead of logging again, I registered a new account and everything seems to be working as intended. Maybe the issue is when you log in using your FB account, because that is how I was using your app first. Will keep an eye and update this again after a new episode of my favourite podcast is uploaded. Thank you guys! Edit: working fine now!

Highly invasive publicity. Layouts hard to decipher. There are better options available

As I previously stated, the app is appearing in Spanish when it should be in English, as this is the configured language on the phone, so clearly there is a bug here. And although I understand you've coded your app to get the preferences lost when you get logged, it makes no sense. And I am sure you can expend some time solving this bug. And to finish it, I find it a matter of bad education that you answer to me in Spanish when I wrote the review in English. Thanks for you answer

Well is been less than a month and I already have issues, there's a problem with the connection I tried on my other phone with the same results, sometimes you search something but nothing happen, and when you try to listen a podcast that I already did cause I saved it on my favorites, a message of error connection appear and it doesn't matter if you are with data or wifi, thanks anyway.

I am mostly disturbed about the lack of actual configuration in the way it plays different tracks. Why isn't it possible to just select to reproduce audio from a single channel?. Why after an audio about one topic, the next random audio is about sth completely different from a channel I haven't subscribed to or even visited before? It's really annoying to be honest.

Despite having more available contents than any other podcast applications, iVoox consumes more battery than needed to reproduce an audio file. In particular, ads are CPU intensive and after a while, the phone overloads. Battery consumption is high. I keep in listening for the interest in the contents, but the application for me is intrusive and resource consuming

Incredibly expensive recurring subscription fees to bleed customers dry ad infinitum, without any possibility to purchase the software once and for all. There are functionally superior and better organised/structured apps that can be bought instead of rented, which is why this milkingware has been replaced with a better alternative and is now being uninstalled.

Everything is great, especially the large history record that there's about nearly ever topic. I could only find one bug: when disconnecting the earphones (or Bluetooth), there's not auto pause, which is quite annoying. For my taste, that's the only bad thing on this great podcast player! :)

I wanted a player to listen to podcasts on and this app does it well. The option to skip back 10 seconds is very handy for when you miss anything. It's great for discovering new content and you can subscribe to podcasts for the latest shows via notifications. It's worth bearing in mind that the developers are Barcelona-based so there are quite a lot of Spanish language shows as well as Spanish text used in the app.

For some reason the app suddenly starts playing by itself when you had it in the background but paused. Is a fresh installation. Happened in Android 8, recently bought a new one with Android 12, where happens too. I can't imagine what can trigger the play in the app. Sometimes it is while you are watching a video in a web, others the mobile was all alone unused in a table and suddenly you hear a voice and is the podcast running. Maybe there's some limit of "in pause" time?

It is a great app. Highly recommended. The only but it is that when we select a list there is no way (at least I have not found the way) to add the list to the play queue in reverse order, this would be very useful when we add podcast where you need to have listen the oldest before the last update, When you try to update the rearrange the queue manually, then the advertisement, seems to make the process to hang. So the episode you try to move suddenly starts being played or no action at all happens. Thanks.

iVoox has not been working properly on my phone in the last couple of weeks, failing to reproduce podcasts due to "lack of connection" when there was a good one, or endlessly lagging without never starting the reproduction. Can't rule out it's a problem in my phone, but as this is not happening with other apps, I thought I should report it. Other than that, I love this app.

Great content, marred by a terrible app. Advertising is downloaded live before an episode is played, which means a huge delay if the connection is poor, or simply being unable to play an episode, even if it has been downloaded previously. Settings for sorting episodes are not retained between sessions of the app, and the management of the played/unplayed status of the episodes is abysmal. Impossible to simply open the app and start listening to the next episode in a series.

The last update was a disaster. I don't know why do you have to update the app if the auto-deleting of listened episodes, auto-downloading of new episodes and setting of automatic downloads don't work anymore. This was a great podcast app and now it is not even the shadow that it used to be. Awful, terrible treatment to old users.

Quite bad app (content is great though). Long lists are a pain to scroll. App starts to jump positions in the list, apparently random. Downloads might o might not actually download. Ads are not rotated. Compared with any of the podcast player apps on Android and iOS this is easily the worst, by far. Devs might be interested in native apps as opposed to what they're using now, which is effectively guaranteeing the worst experience across platforms. The content is the best than there's in Spanish

I installed the app, went to a podcast I like and played it. After 10 minutes of back to back ads and the podcast didn't even start yet, I decided to uninstall and find a different app. I don't recommend ivoox, unless all you want to listen to are back to back ads *update*: I am now using 2 other apps, also free, and I do understand you need ads to support a free app. They also have ads in the podcast, but they are 2 minutes max! Not 10+ minutes like yours.

When I subscribe to a podcast ALL the episodes turn grey except for the latest one. If they all turn grey then how will I differentiate between what the ones I listened to and ones I didn't? I'm unable to simply copy paste a link, it's only giving options to share via apps.

The commercials are loud compared to the podcast you are listening to, so they startle you and make you jump. The app also stops if you go to another screen to look at something else while you are listening or if you turn off the screen and want to listen to the podcast while the phone is in your pocket at the gym for example. So when you listen to it, you have to keep the app open with the screen turned on. The app has a lot of content and audiobooks in Spanish though, which I really enjoy.

$50/year to prevent unskippable ads before playing a podcast? Yeah. No. I'm a developer myself. I understand that app revenue is necessary. What's not necessary is $50/year (!!!). I don't mind paying for apps. I just don't want to be ripped off. I barely listen to podcasts! It's not worth $50/year for an app I barely use! I'd even consider a $10 lifetime "skip ads" payment, which I guarantee is more money than they'd every make from me by showing ads.
