Tortoise App Reviews

One of my favourites, if not favourite podcast. Discovered it whilst browsing to look for great stories and have been listening to Tortoise since. The work of the journalists, producers and everyone involved in getting the stories out are phenomenal. Thank you

I love this app and their journalism. I have listened to many podcasts and am always impressed with the quality of reporting. The News Meeting is perfect for my walk back from the gym. I love that they keep an eye on stories in the world that the rest of the news media has pivoted away from covering despite nothing being resolved. I also love the podcasts on particular stories.

Like most of your customers, I listen to your content in my vehicle. Although it does play when connected through apple carplay, I have no controls and the app is nonexistent on the screen.

This happens on headphones too. This is not a difficult fix, so I hope you guys update it soon!
