If I could rate this as a zero I would. The app installed OK but never downloaded podcasts properly on my Surface 2. I emailed the developer with my comments multiple times. It appeared he wasn't that interested in correcting the issue so I asked for my money back to which he hasn't responded or followed up. I've uninstalled the app and have concluded that it was a waste of time and money.

Also, the developer is very responsive. Like this better than iTunes. Only minor glitches in subscriptions.

App crashes frequently. Interface is confusing and feels very unpolished on the desktop. Syncing between the desktop and phone appears to work though. While it's not perfect or even particularly great as far as I know it's the only podcast app that syncs between desktop and PC. Just expect to have to fight it a bit before you get things working.

Lots of buffering issues for the last year. In the middle of a video, it just freezes, and how to wait for it to buffer. Developer doesn't seem to care. For the last year, this app has been freezing a lot, and crashing. Freezes in the middle of a show. It would just say buffering. Wish their was an export feature. I have email the developer many times. Never seems to fix anything Issues never been fixed.

Missing pretty basic functionality like: categories There is no way to sort your podcasts besides picking ones as favorites. I want to separate my tech podcasts from my sex podcasts. Importing podcasts is buggy. to import about 30 podcasts I had to click on each one individualy and then I had to guess that there was a hidden menu with the import button... like this is the import screen. Why would you hide the import button like it's not important. anyways I had to go through that process like 7 times cause it would only import a handful of podcasts at a time. The interface seen to get laggy the more podcasts I add, and the whole app feels kinda slow and buggy now.

The title says it all. This is one of the best apps that I have found for the Surface RT. It does everything that I wish for it to do, and I am sure that it will only get better as time goes on. Thanks very much for this Windows 8/RT gem. Version 1.3 only makes a great app even better. Great job guys... Update: 18Dec12, it just keep getting better and better. Thanks guys... Update: 3May13, This is still the best Podcast app that I have used, regardless of platform. Don't stop... It just continues to get, better and better. Thank you very much...

I'm a podcast enthusiast, and I've tried most of the podcatchers available on the Windows App Store. Gobble is by far the most polished, feature-rich one I've found. I'm using this both on my desktop PC (x64) and Surface 2 (ARM), and I'm thrilled with the performance of the app in both places. Subscribing to a podcast in one place automatically adds it to the other -- a great feature. There were two bugs I found with the previous version of the app. I contacted the developer about these, and both bugs are fixed in this build. Now that's service! If you've been disappointed with the quality of podcatchers on the Windows App Store, I highly recommend trying out Gobble. It's what a Windows 8 application should be.

Initially I viewed Gobble as a handy app. Now after several months of use and several upgrades provided by the publisher, I would now rate it as a tool. Reliable, stable, and flexible while providing features that are typically associated with apps costing much more. Thanks You Visland

The layout is nice. The scrolling ends up being horrid though. To choppy. Need to be able to subscribe and automatically download new episodes as well as add your own feeds. Update: still unable to automatically download...ugh

This is by far the best podcast app on Windows 8. However, it doesn't have any of the podcasts I subscribe to and that's a little depressing. I listen to Marek vs Wyshynski, Hockey Central at Noon, Hockey Night in Canada, and the Backhand Shelf. This app has none of these. I listen to tech podcasts too, but the app has all of them. Moar sports podcasts please!
