I hope you like the updates!

- Fixed a crash that could occur when the audio player is interrupted by another audio source
- Fixed issue with the mini player queue count circle not looking very circle-like

KablewithaK,
Excellent podcast app
I’m giving this app a five star review because it works as expected and I’m invested in its growth since it works on MacBook and iOS with syncing.
Pros: without paying or subscribing for pro, the app handles syncing between different devices. Subscribing the small amount a year gives you a fully unlocked audio engine that does silence skipping and other excellent additions. Well worth the price of admission.
Cons: no CarPlay system built in. This was the one thing that was making me hesitate subscribing but opted to go for it anyway since playing a podcast still shows in CarPlay’s Now Playing platform. It’s not a full substitute but it works if you set up a long enough playlist ahead of time. Hopefully CarPlay is included in the near future.
Neutral: on occasion as I play a podcast, the progress bar will sit at the end as if the podcast has finished playing even if it hasn’t (it will continue to play despite what the progress bar displays). I put this as a neutral because I don’t know if this is a bug caused by the Critical Role podcast’s files or if it’s a bug from Mimir. I don’t see this happen with the other shorter podcasts I listen to.
Overall: this is a podcast app worth giving a try. I’ve tried a bunch of others and this one is head and shoulders above the other top apps out there.

hardtell,
Now my primary podcast player
Setapp user here. Enjoy exploring their well curated lesser known apps and seem to have stumbled on another gem here. Hope to see the continued growth of this platform. Absolutely amazing audio engine. Turned on the silence skip and gave them an audio tone to see how much it was really removing and it is impressive how efficient and clean this feature runs. I like the UI and am slowly developing a really nice system here with tiered priorities and continuous playback structure. Been using PocketCasts since it first hit the market and this is admittedly the first time another product enticed me at all. Foresee myself sticking with it on my Linux and Windows environments, but I’ll be transitioning to Mimir within the Apple ecosystem now. Well done, dev.
CCfmATL,
Continued Bugginess Holds Mimir Back
I really like the layout and design of the Mimir app. Unfortunately it continues to have bugs that make it a less-than-ideal experience.
For example, when opening the app in CarPlay, the “Now Playing “ app often won’t play; a work-around that sometimes works is to manually play the next podcast episode, than go back. Another example: when managing podcast episodes (especially if you’re managing several at a time), the player interface may freeze momentarily or not reflect your changes. This often necessitates restarting Mimir. All of the little quirks together add up to an often frustrating experience.
Finally, I like the recent swipe interface changes to play next/last, and Mark as played/remove from playlist. That said, I’d like to see that expanded to the Now Playing/Next screen instead of only being accessible within each individual podcast.

Great podcast player
After Apple changed the UI for their podcasts app in a way that I didn't like, I started looking for a replacement. Mimir was it, and I couldn't be happier.
I see the latest episodes for each podcast I subscribe to. I don't see the old ones unless I explicity look for them. And I can manually set up playlists for the ones I want to listen to.
Additionally, I can play them at higher speed (I prefer 2x for most of them), allowing me to get through a day's worth of podcasts without spending all day in front of the computer.

Araquen,
A hidden gotcha with iOS.
In many ways, this looks like a promising app, so promising I decided to purchase the desktop app. Since I am trying to get away from subscriptions, I opted for the one-time purchase.
When it caame time to set up the iOS version, I figured: why not? And went to purchase the iOS app even though it is in beta. Much to my chagrin, the single Pro version does not remove ads, which is really annoying. If I had known that, I would have just opted for the subscription for both.
So I knowed off a start because it should be abundantly clear what is, and is not, included on each version of the app, so a user can make an informed purchasing decision.

Dotsi2,
Not as good as it used to be
When I bought Mimir, it was because it was the best podcast app out there. I can't figure out if some (conservative) sites dropped Mimir, but in any case they are not available here, AND NOT AVAILABLE ON APPLE PODCASTS EITHER....that makes me think that CONSERVATIVE opinion is being censured and out of the control of this developer. I'd love to find the answer so we can access all podcasts. However, Mimir is an excellent app and Grant, the developer, is quick to respond to notes or messages, and I recommend this app. Sorry, Grant, I appreciate you reaching out.

Mimir is awesome! It's display is clean and the set up for listening to podcasts in an order I decide upon is excellent. I stumbled upon Mimir while looking for a replacement for Apple's Podcasts app which stopped working after updating to macOS 11.3.1 and I am very glad I found Mimir. Grant (Developer) is very responsive and helpful, I'm a 'boomer so I need help figuring tech out some times and he has always gotten back to me with in a few hours or less. Once the iOS version is released I will become a Kool-Aid drinking fanboy.
plendid,
Glad to Find Very Good Podcast App
After using Mimir for the better part of a year, i've come to enjoy its layout, ideas and relaiability.
I've listened to podcasts for 18 years, since 2005, and iit's often hard to find a reliable and good podcast app, don't know why. Mimir is the best i've found.
I mostly use it for aggregating podcasts. I especially like the archive feature. Also helpful are the auto downloads.
A plus would be if i could rename the podcasts in the podcast list. This would enable better sorting and syncing with other apps that share the same file system. This way all the podcasts begining their title with "The" won't be grouped together.
When discovering podcasts it'd be really, really, really nice if i could obviate podcasts that have no episodes, or podcasts that are no longer maintained.

JClark,
Best I’ve used, only missing widgets
Mimir is a great podcast app. I use the continuous play feature all the time, with a per-show limit of 1 or 2 episodes (depending on the show). It’s something most other pod catchers don’t allow for and it mixes it up exactly how I like. Now that CarPlay is supported, the only missing feature for my needs is a Home Screen widget.

Best Podcast App and can't wait for iOS version!
I use Mimir daily and couldn't be happier. This is my goto way to listen to podcasts while working. And when the iOS version comes I'll be listening while the go! The developer has been super responsive and helpful. I wish more apps were this good!
