    "Get Your Own Podcast Out There"

    4 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-08-26

    Pros: Creators can make money straight from Apple Podcasts, which is unique and a great situation for those who have podcasts on the app.

    Cons: In order to have "access" to receiving money off your podcasts you do have to pay a monthly fee.

    Overall: Overall, from a creator's perspective, Apple podcast is a great way to get your work out there and heard from other people. It also helps that there are so many users on the platform.

    "Best Podcast Resource"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-10-12

    Pros: There are so many great options to choose from on Apple Podcasts. From all of the big names to smaller ones, I can always find something stimulating to listen to and learn from on apple Podcasts.

    Cons: Can take up a lot of space on your phone if you don't set up your download preferences ahead of time. I've had to go back and correct all of that.

    Overall: So glad I have easy access to such an expansive resource. I wouldn't suggest using another podcast app.

    "Closed Wall Podcast software with too few features"

    2 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-09-15

    Pros: Apple makes high quality software that works exceptionally well on their hardware. This provides podcasts easily through their systems.

    Cons: The closed wall means all podcasts get reviewed before being added to the system. There are features that are easier found in other apps that I liked better. Not incorporating music as well means that I have to use multiple apps for listening.

    Overall: I don't mind apple podcasts but the cons are enough to make me use other products before turning here. It doesn't do anything that sets it apart from the pack.
