Rudi@OG,
Game Changer!
I have been reading my Bible every day since I was a child - a habit that my parents deeply engrained in me and my five siblings. I just turned 60 this year and yet have never really listened to an auditory version of the Bible. I have always read, often with paper and pen to takes notes, with the idea of”What is this telling me I need to do?”
The Bible Recap has been such a breath of fresh air! I will never forget the first day I listened to the Bible being read to me. It was like an entirely new book! Instead of being entrenched in the weeds, I was flying over it at 30,000 feet. Suddenly I was making connections and seeing things I had never seen before in these same familiar passages that I had been reading all of my life.
I love the way TLC has encouraged us to read to see who God is on each page. I am nearing the end of Jeremiah and this may sound weird but I am beginning to fall in love with the Holy One of Israel! I am seeing His incredible mercy even in the midst of righteous judgment.
I am also enjoying the podcast… on those days when I am in difficult passages, I always know TLC has some clarifying insight as well as a God shot to give me something to chew on. And I still get chills sometimes when she says, “He’s where the joy is!”
Thank you to all of you at the Bible Recap who are being used of God to make this happen and to bless people you will probably never meet!

Frustrating
I don’t know if the below was ever sent as here it sits when I went to review again. I am changing from 3 stars to 1 star. If BARDSFM was not on Podbean I would discard it. Not only does all of the below continue to happen, the episodes change on me - once I choose one, it frequently jumps to one next to it…over and over. I have an iPhone XR and an older iPad. I DO, however, enjoy the chat feature on live broadcast - mostly reading, not participating. PLUS- since downloads are automatic, I had trouble with data storage. So did my sister - we went to Geek Squad and if I wasn’t there to point them to Podbean as a possible cause, they may not have figured it out. OLD Review: [Podbean carries one of my favorite podcast followings. I never investigated how the live chat works, etc — that’s on me. However, trying to advance the recorded episode times frustrates me because it buffers and buffers. E.g.: wanting to move past the beginning to when an interview starts; or wanting to “slide” it back to the beginning. I even tried to get out of Podbean and re-enter to hopefully reset, but it still kept the episode to where I left off (which, in some circumstances would be good, if one could easily maneuver the time-line). I am not tech-y, and respect your efforts. I am just telling you how it is with me. Thanks.]
OtherGh,
Glitchy, difficult to navigate
Glitchy- If I press pause or hit the back button more than once or twice during a podcast, it will stop playing. Won’t go back, won’t go forward, won’t play. I’ve closed and reopened the app. Tried starting a different podcast, then gone back to the one that stopped- no change. The only way it will start again is to close the app for several days (ridiculous) or if I delete and reload the app. Due to this issue I would never use it, but a favorite podcast has bonus content only on Podbean so I listen only to that podcast on the app.
Difficult to navigate- I’ve probably got about 30 podcasts saved on my Podcast app. My list of shows and episodes comes up immediately and is easy to navigate and toggle through. Using Podbean is like “50 First Dates”- I’m greeted with a generic home screen with no mention of my listening history and recommendations that clearly aren’t relevant. I have to search for the ONE show I listen to every. single. time. Once you finally get to the show you want, you have to go into a menu to have your episode list refresh- otherwise you’d never know that another episode had been released. Glitchy, not intuitive, cumbersome.

TheFreeBro14,
Literally the most buggy and worst podcast app
I only use this app because it has a backlog of my favorite podcast. Outside of that: -Stupid to navigate. -Buffers indefinitely on a strong wifi connection until I close and restart the app -Several of my podcasts have “-1233% left” or something equally obscure. -Downloading takes a strangely long amount of time compared to other apps, far below my wifi download speed is capable of -Trying to skip forward or backward is a nightmare -Navigating or trying to play/pause from lockscreen works about 10% of the time -A range of other bugs. When I start playing a podcast on wifi, I expect it to download the full episode immediately so that I can leave wifi without it losing connection and stop playing. That is a basic necessity for a podcast app. I shouldn’t need to remember to download all the possible episodes I plan to listen to before I get in my car for a morning commute. Other podcasts apps do this, even the default iPhone podcast app. I’m running iPhone 14 pro with latest software updates. I don’t know how there are so many positive reviews for this app, the developers clearly aren’t trying to make the best app that they can.
attachment_issues,
Breaking up with wholesome
When I mentioned it in conversation, a friend asked, "Podbean? I don't know that app." I said, "Just a podcast app with the name BEAN in it so you know it must be wholesome!!!" Then I actually __*thought*__ about our relationship. Why did I put up with it?! The constant "no connection" message, even when connected to WiFi. The difficulty rewinding, which left me waiting for many long minutes for the audio to randomly reload-- like the anxiety for a text response from a date, you fear, is just not that into you. Pressing backup 30 seconds several times only to end up at the same minute mark! Talk about poor communication. Or opening the app with anticipation only to see the Discover page with suggestions that made me feel like you didn't even know me. Sometimes, Podbean, I don't even know why we did this. I think you just seemed so good, so genuine, but now I see that you don't nourish or support me at all. You'll call me a sell out, but I need to go with someone bigger; more reliable. Thanks for the memories; I wish you well.
Nelson21@,
News you can use
I changed my content when Covid hit. I became a twenty four seven bring it to you reporter. I changed too just having to report the sad news but people needed to know. So many people were dying.
Then it kept getting worse and worse and it was my patriotic duty to reach as many people as possible. Being disabled this was the only way I knew to get the news out that the shots were killing people. My fibromyalgia got worse and other autoimmune issues popped up because of an old car injury, my pituitary died. I was forced to do what I could. I had to cut down the number of reports and some days nothing was reported.
I’m still trying, now it’s turned into a survival issue. That depressing. I has a “can do” person. My technical skills weren’t what they should be but I’d report on potential cures for people. That’s were I’m at. Trying to give people hope.

tibbys,
I like it like it - UPDATED FOR DEVELOPER
I appreciate sorting the episodes in order by date, I like to go the beginning of where it started. Two annoying things worth mentioning. It stopped automatically playing the next episode ***(I’m listening to Radiolab only right now so I don’t know if it’s other podcasts. I just texted it before replying to you. Finished listening to an episode from last night. Made sure my setting was still to auto play the next one and sure enough, nothing happened)***. I don’t know why. I had the setting to do so, and it was working fine, then it stopped. I checked the settings and it hasn’t changed so not sure what to do. And two....Once I’ve listened to, let’s say 30 episodes (a lot is the point here), since the next episode isn’t playing automatically, I go to the list and have to painfully scroll down until I find the next episode. Ok a third. Commercials are annoying.
TEP1115,
Best podcast app I’ve found
The features I love about this app are:
-Very easy to make playlists (the main thing I couldn’t find on several other free apps!)
-Keeps listen history so I can easily return to a podcast I didn’t follow or save to a playlist
-Customizable order in which episodes and follow list appear (oldest, newest, etc)
-In general just very easy to keep track of the podcasts I want to listen to
Thankfully, all of the bugs/ features I don’t like are pretty minor, but it would definitely improve the experience if they were fixed:
-Often pauses immediately after I click play, so I have to hit play again. I listen on Bluetooth and saw another review mention this same problem.
-Audio controls disappear from lock screen if you pause for more than a couple seconds (saw this in another review as well)
-When I’m browsing the app and the episode is paused, clicking anywhere on the bottom bar to return to the episode (not just the play icon in the bottom right) automatically plays it. I think there should be a way to return to the episode while keeping it paused, and it should only play if I hit a play icon.
-The green downloaded icon does not always appear by recently downloaded episodes, so I frequently have to double check
-The skip 15/30s doesn’t work when the episode is paused
-It would be nice if the catalog of shows/categories was more extensive in order to discover more new shows.

Podbean is the only podcast app that I've found that when I press the back button on my Bluetooth device, it takes me back 30 seconds on my current podcast. When I press the back key on all the other apps, it takes me to the previous podcast. I don't want to leave my podcast, I just want to re-hear the last 30 seconds because I either didn't understand something that was being said or I was distracted and just want to hear it again. All the other apps - Apple, Stitcher... are designed for music and think you want to go back to the prior song. It's really frustrating because I have to look at my phone, while I'm driving to hit the back 30 seconds button. But with Podbean, I keep my eyes on the road and just tap the back button on my Bluetooth device and I can simply rewind the last 30 seconds - perfect!
Joni on Savannah,
Single best thing I’ve ever done to grow my faith !
My title really says it all, I’ve been a Christian for over 40 years, I’ve done multiple Bible studies, went to women’s conferences, service at church, etc. this really has grown my faith and helped me to understand the Bible like nothing I’ve done before. My husband is also doing the reading plan, ( we’ve never done something like this together ) and it really gives us common ground for discussion.
Thank you so much! I feel like it’s the perfect balance of knowledge, history and I love how Tara frequently shows how the old testament ties to the New Testament. It’s an added bonus that she’s funny!! I literally laugh out loud almost every day when I’m listening to the podcast when she says something that catches me off guard.
Good job ! Keep it up, I’m excited to dive into the New Testament in the next couple of months !
