After most recent update app wont load Crashes     Crashes
App will not open after the 91515 app Im a daily podcast listener Guess i will download a different podcast app Been using Downcast for 3 yrs oh well     Update Killed the App
VERY slow on startup often taking 1545 seconds to get past splash screen Has crashed on average more than once a day for the last week or so Podcast feed refresh is painfully slow About 8 months ago I contacted support to suggest that they maybe move the AirPlay button maybe 1020 pixels right because when the volume is at highest setting people with larger fingers cant use the screen volume slider to turn down the volume because the volume slider button is right up against the AirPlay button Im guessing they havent gotten to it because theyve been working on everything else Right in the middle of typing this it locked my iPad mini and then paused the playback Looking for alternative     Blech
Please fix     Doesnt opencrashes immediately
Update 291 caused app to crash in OS7 but a fix is on the way Update 292 was submitted 91515 and should fix the issue Until then one star from me When running again this is a five star app     Downcast but looking up
This is BY FAR best podcast app before the latest update Now it wont even open Confident theyll find a fix quickly ill b back up and running soon Gladly change rating then Dont want new users DL miss this superior app due to current bug Maybe low rating will get em to wait This is the best podcast app Only a hiccup        Crash wont open after update

Another person on an iPhone 4 who downloaded the update and discovered it wouldnt open Had to delete and reinstall losing my saved podcasts New update went through this am and once again it crashes immediately on opening I usually use this app daily and am frustrated     Love it but it currently hates me
After the latest update the app doesnt open at all Boggles my mind that the developers dont try their updates before pushing them out     App wont open

Downcast is a great app but do not download this update if youre still on IOS 7 as it will crash immediately upon opening     This Version Crashes in IOS 7 Upon Start

Just downloaded Sept 15 update and now the best app I have will not even open Whats happening     Wont Open
I use this app everyday but not today The new update is crashing on iPhone 4 Hope its fixed soon              Love app update wont run on iPhone 4
I really didnt think I needed a podcast management app Although I dont consider subscribing listening and deleting podcasts to be overly time consuming Downcast streamlines and simplifies the whole process Im no longer dependent on my groggy 6am self to be sure I have enough material to get through a daily commute The optional delete after listening feature is worth every penny just so I dont have to think about it Thanks Downcast for an awesome product                 App I though I would never use is now part of my daily routine
Ive been using this for years now This is much better than Apples podcast app Love the ability to rank podcasts by priority Lots of other very useful customizations too Just wanted to update my review to say Im still using this on my iPhone 6 now and it still works perfectly No other podcast app Ive tried has as many useful customizations as this one I can make it work just how I want including configuring rules for what gets downloaded what gets streamed how long podcasts are kept whether to download or update on cellular etc                 Best podcast app
Add me to the list of disgruntled app users who cannot access Downcast after the latest update I am still a loyal fan of the product but the lack of podcast is a bit of a frustration as its 340 AM and listening to podcasts helps me drift off when I cant sleep Please fix this ASAP           You broke it guys
With current version the app wont even open Deleted and downloaded again Wont open     Great but new version is broken
Love this app and use it daily but the most recent update wont even open Please fix     Please Fix
After updating the app today it crashes immediately when trying to open Wait for an update to download It was a great podcast app when it was working     Doesnt work after update
Sept 15 2015 update makes app crash Can confirm on both my iphone and iPad Worked great before but needs immediate fix     Great App update makes it crash
now it immediately crashes to home screen And their support link has no place to submit bugs     worked great until latest update
Great simple app Until this recent update Now it will not even open Lets see how quick it can be fixed     Broken update
I listen to podcasts constantly on iPhone 6plus I work this thing hard and it is sturdy as heIl When 6 plus was new i had crash but they sent an update and i have had ZERO issues I timed start up past splash screen under 3 seconds Worth every penny You wont regret this purchase                 By far my most used loved app
Latest version needs fixed ASAP     Nothing but crash
App crashes immediately at start up Plz fix 5 stars when it works     Crashes
After the update today the application crashes instantly after it is opened I cannot get it to work I have tried to do a hard reset but its still broken Please rerelease a version that works ASAP     Application crashes
After the 91515 update the app doesnt work on my phone anymore Arent updates supposed to improve the experience Not in my case And I paid for this     Doesnt work with the iPhone 4 anymore
Had to switch back to the podcast app This app became a battery killer        Battery Killer
In general Ive loved this app However after the most recent update it wont even open crashes every time This is the second time an update has been majorly flawed earlier this year a different update erased a bunch of podcasts from my library and took it back in time While I like the functionality when its actually functioning Im starting to think about reconsidering other apps This one just has too many problems Its too bad     Serious problem with latest update
Im looking for an Instacast alternative because their parent company shut down fairly recently Ive downloaded 5 paid podcast apps Downcast Pocket Casts Castro Podcruncher and Overcast and still cant find one as good as Instacast I WANT to love Overcast but lack of streaming and being unable to organize episodes that Ive listened to upon importing them and separate them from episodes that I have not yet downloaded is a huge deal breaker Yes the app is pretty But it cant do basic functions that allow you to determine what you have listened to or not listened to Not to mention you can only download episodes and not stream them With more features Overcast would absolutely be the best podcast app around like everyone online is saying right now But as of right now it doesnt function for me as a podcast manager Not at all Pocket Casts and Downcast and Podcruncher work okay but have some interface quirks check out the version history for each app in the App Store to see how often the apps has been updated and maintained Podcruncher hasnt been touched in like a year At least all those actually manage podcasts unlike Overcast Castro was also too limited in functionality and didnt work well for me because of that But it did look nice They have apparently been working on Castro 2 for like six months now Summary Downcast and Pocket Casts are worth a try now Overcast is also worth a try but is so limited even after purchasing the upgrade of premium features Podcruncher is somewhat out of date cant swipe left side of screen to return to previous screen Castro is okay but limited Wait for Castro 2        Needs UI prettying Overcast talk
The latest update totally screwed up this app All of a sudden its crash city I gave it over a week but cant take it any longer So frustrating Time to find a reliable podcast app     Review only for latest update App crashes a lot
Just chiming in with everybody else whos experiencing this immediatecrash bug hoping it gets the developers attention Ill bump my stars back up to 5 when its fixed because I love this app when it works     Crashes
I love Downcast but the app crashes now I hope a fix comes soon     Love the App but new version crashes
Crashes every time I try to launch it     Crashes
Since the update it crashes instantly App is entirely unusable now     Instant crash
I cant get the app to open after todays update it crashes when I launch it I rebooted but that didnt fix it     App crashing
This app does everything the standard podcast app doesnt When bugs are found they get fixed quickly Thanks                 Best podcast app
The latest app cant be opened on my iPad mini running iOS 7 Dont download until this is fixed     Cant open app
