Listen

Junk Garbage

Google can do better need improvement, not the high stand I expect from google.

Awesome/Terrible I love this app when it works. Love having the podcasts straight to my phone, easy. But the search gets me next to nothing, as well as manually adding feeds hardly ever working. Last month this started: Podcasts will randomly play super slowly in little chunks, in the midst of a while regular-speed podcast. Help?

Frustrating This app is terrible. Queuing of items is completely asinine. All I want is a queue of unlistened items to play from oldest to newest. Listen cannot do that. The "Fresh items" queue seems designed to infuriate. It always wants to play a fresh item. Try to resume an episode you didn't finish, it will shove a fresh item down your throat. Create a queue of items (can't sort it by date), when one finishes do you get then next in the queue? Nope another fresh item! (Hey Google it's not a queue if it only plays one item). Have 4 fresh items, play the first, skip (you get the second), skip again... you'd think you'd get the third, but no it goes back the first. Guess it must figure the other two suck or something. If you listen to all the fresh items, you'd think it'd play the next unlistened to item, but no... those are old and therefore worthless. The best feature they could "add" to this app would be to remove the Fresh items queue altogether. Just queue everything I haven't listened to, then let me pick if I want them to play oldest to newest or newest to oldest. Will uninstall and look for something that will let me pick how I listen to feeds.

hate it the worst thing ever

Please.. I use this application a lot but Google really needs to assign a dev or two on this to redesign it for ICS!

More like a demo since search is so broken that it is impossible to use for podcasts that you want to follow. Every episode of everything podcast I tried is "over 1 month" old.

Why doesn't Google give this app any love? Its OK. The interface is just so clunky and unattractive. Probably take a miracle to get a Honeycomb optimized version huh?

Poor execution Not worth it

Good But not great. Would love to see lock screen widgets or track controls while device is locked as I use the app while driving and hate having to unlock, go to app, and pause or skip track while driving. Podcast search doesn't come up with anything useful so be ready to manually add all your feeds.
