Wondery: Discover Podcasts App Reviews

Makes a six hour drive a breeze with great podcasts.

My app constantly logs me out or doesn’t hold my place in my episodes. Also wish it had more true crime options.

I signed up for a free trial of Wondery+. But it didn’t work. Under apple subscriptions, it said my free trial would expire in 2 weeks, but on Wondery +, it was as if I didn’t have a trial. So I tried to cancel it through Apple and reinstall. The trial was gone and I was charged for it. I never got my 2 weeks. I didn’t even get 2 minutes. And I would honestly probably have purchased the subscription after but now I’m just going to listen for the month I paid for and then cancel

I’m a fan of true crime and find the selection of podcasts they have on here great! I love that I don’t have to keep getting annoyed by silly commercials during the stories too! I wish they had some of the other shows I listen to but I know you can’t have everything right? Wondery does have a lot and I find myself listening quite a bit lately! Thank you!!

I like a lot of the content on wondery, but the app leaves much to be desired. I can’t tell you how often I open the app to get the “you’re offline” page telling me that I can’t listen to anything except downloaded content. It’s funny, because I can easily use all sort of other online apps at the very time wondery is telling me that I’m “offline.” It’s very frustrating. Like others, I have also had multiple instances of being logged out, though that seems to have improved a little bit recent

Love the content and all the podcasts! The app is constantly telling me I’m offline even when everything else on my phone is working. Like the downloading option but it still kicks me out of the app a lot.

The shows are great, but the app loading issues and playback issues are getting worse when using data . Very frustrating

These two keep me laughing all day!

Great podcasts, love the design and structure. My only issue is that it will consistently tell me that I’m offline - I have to uninstall and redownload the app multiple times a week to get it to connect to cellular or WiFi. None of my other apps do this - may be a bug?

Wondery, as advertised, has the best podcasts, early and ad free!

The app first tries to find an internet connection and even if you have downloads u have to wait out its search for connectivity. When it doesn't find one it helpfully suggests that you go to ur downloads. Which I was trying to play in the first place. If you have a show you like it brings up ur last downloaded show. U then have to scroll all the was down to find the more seasons tab. Why not just put that at the top of the page instead of making me search for it.

I noticed about a month this problem. Overcast downloads an episode in under 30 seconds. Wondery just spins and I eventually give up.

The app has a lot of great podcasts available, but the general function is quite poor. I always have it updated and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still has consistent performance issues. Even paying for Wondery+ - it logs you out regularly, will often claim to have no internet connection when I am fully connected to WiFi and have no issues with other apps, will sometimes stop playing if the phone screen is locked, among other issues. The only reason I continue using is for sh

I love the content when the app works. - App will play for about 15 sec then shut down and close itself. Does not matter if the episodes are streaming or downloaded. - Constantly need to reinstall the app and redownload episodes. The app will work for a little while and then I have to uninstall it again. - App is hit and miss on remembering where you stopped listening to an episode. - Downloading and starting episodes is often really slow. I hope the app can be fixed soon, if it weren’t

I love the content. LOVE IT. That’s why I’ve subscribed to Wondery + BUT the app crashes far too frequently - consistently about 65% of the time. However, something must have recently been changed because for the last 12hrs it has crashed EVERY time I open it. It’s SO aggravating. Also, why can’t we build playlists to foster continuous play? I so wish these things would improve. I’m paying for this app, I want it to be good.

the app constantly crashes mid podcast, and continues to crash even after bug fixes and app/phone restarts. the app is a bit confusing to navigate. would love to use the app for all the amazing podcasts but it’s really not great.
