Reviews of smarterpod: simple and smart podcast player:
So far so good. Been using it for 1 day. I would love a little pop-out player like Google Music has. I like to stick it in the corner of my screen while I'm working so I can always hit the play/pause button easily. Also hotkeys would be nice.
it is complicated to use, no clear setting to use. something this complex needs directions and im not even sure how it was downloaded
Extremely inconvenient to play old episodes. The front-end is very mediocre and needs a complete revamp.
I can't add podcasts. I've clicked on everything I can think of. Waste of my time.
the instructions read "add podcasts from the feed management + menu). There is no such thing, and no plus sign - the app had no apparent means of use. I'm deleting it after 10 minutes.
doesn't come up on the apps page and am now unable to remove.
With my limited use, the good: 1) It works 2) Really simply interface that's easy to work with. Saying that, I won't be using it for now because it's ridiculously inconvenient to get to past episodes. One of my podcasts is on episode 70, and I'm only on episode 20. Some of the podcasts I listen to have hundred of episodes and I simply won't click hundreds of times until I get to the episode I'm on. This is really a deal breaker. If it had an easy way to get to past episodes (even if it didn't autoplay them in order) this app would get five stars. Did not try the syncing feature with other computers, but I like that this is possible. Also having a way to sync with Android would be killer as that is my primary podcasting device.
You can't click to listen to historic episodes in order from the first episode.....?
Didn't get it to work at all. Clicking '+' doesn't do anything. The UI is fine, so 2 stars for the effort.
I have to admit that it worked for a whole 4 hours. I and then the extension suddenly unresponsive when clicking on it to try and bring up the various podcast feeds. I only have 1 podcast and that's from Rooster Teeth just because I was trying it out. I left it alone for a few day and decided to come back and try it again well once again it was unresponive and took 5 minutes before it popped up showing my last podcast and when I clicked on it, it did absolutly nothing. I mean I've been sitting here doing my school work, browsing the web and it hasn't even played. Really now? what's the problem? I'm uninstalling until it gets better.
I had it up and running in under a minute. Love it
nice extension and the guy who wrote it was very helpful when I asked him about a podcast that was not updating correctly. can't wait until the next update to the extension
Makes listening to podcasts on different computers easy- I listen to podcasts at work and sometimes I finish working in the middle of one. This lets me pick up right where I left off when I get home!
nice! does a great job
