Spreaker 3.6.13
Intuitive and nice design
The app launches directly with the categories of podcasts that you can choose from. It doesn't have a tutorial or any kind of instructions, although new users could have benefited from at least a brief presentation on what the app can do and the features that they could access. Users can register with an account or log in with Facebook or Twitter for more features.
Online registration lets you share podcasts easier and even stream your own content on iHeartRadio. You can also record tracks and create collections under your account. Profiles can be edited easily, add information and share your profile in order to attract followers.
Listen to all sort of podcasts
A side menu lets you access all sort of areas inside the app, including the explore section filled with all sort of suggestions. You can browse through podcasts on science, technology, sports, music trends, lifestyle and health. Users will also find podcasts on entertainment, movies, games, comics and more.
You'll find a short description on the podcast, the number of tracks, plays and downloads. Users can download podcasts to their phones and listen to them whenever they want. However, the title of the podcast doesn't fit the screen and you can't flip your device to switch to landscape since the app is only available in portrait mode.
More features
The app lets you pick the language of audio content, switch from English, Italian or Spanish. You can also have Spreaker app only save podcasts in your device or on your SD card.
Users can favorite shows but there isn't a separate section to check them out. Moreover, the app doesn't let you create playlists, so you'll need to go back to the menu in order to listen to the next episode.
Users can also comment on podcasts, but the app doesn't have auto-correct and doesn't verify user emails so some people could register with multiple accounts. The app has controls in the notification bar and lock screen. You can use Spreaker to create your own podcast, but for that you'll need to download another version of the app.
