Very Fast and Easy to Use
I don’t know what the other reviewer is talking about. After downloading, it asks you where you would like to keep your saved podcasts, and then disappears to the top menu screen. Just because it is not shown in the bottom dock does not mean that it is not “working”. Anyway, I clicked on its icon (a stylized person/mic with two waves around the head) where it sits in the top menu bar and used the included search engine (you click the + button at the bottom right of the pop-down) to find some interesting podcasts. The search function was very fast and I easily found what I was looking for; I was surprised and happy to find podcasts for my interests, given that they aren’t common. Double clicking on the title of the podcast allowed me to see the episode titles and select episodes for playing. It is also useful to use the “top podcasts by category” option, as it was easier for me to find podcasts I’ve listened to in the past but couldn’t remember the name of.
Overall, the app is excellent for finding many different podcasts from different sources and listening to them in one spot. There’s no hassle like there is using iTunes or other tools online, so I am glad I downloaded it. I don’t normally listen to podcasts on my Mac because of the hassle involved, so I thank the developers for making this app to cut out the work. I’ve never been able to download and start listening to podcasts so fast and I appreciate the different speed options as well as the sound quality.
