Very Cool!

Now I hold all the answers to how things work. It is a cool app. :D

Love the podcast,hate the updated app

I wish I had not updated this app. Worked great before. New update is a pain to navigate, freezes, and is sluggish. Wish I could roll back.

Interface mmmmm not good

I dont like the interface, hard to navigate,

HSW

I enjoy this app! Maybe a tutorial on how to navigate the app? Id read an article and feel like I wasnt getting all the info and I didnt see anything that displayed to swipe right or left, after selecting the article, until it happened on accident.

Great

The games are fun. Good for browsing info about random topics.

SYSK fan!

I love listening to stuff you should know on this app, but recently the app randomly stops playing the podcast and closes. Please fix!! I listen every day.

Disappointing

Why is there no way to start at the beginning of a podcast series? Why must I scroll through every episode ever published if I want to start at the beginning of a podcast series? Disappointing and not a user friendly layout for such a large podcast company.

Amazing app

I have been a listener since 2010 and this app makes listening to all the podcasts easy and accessible without wasting precious storage. The information is amazing and very entertaining for all ages. I listen while I drive, when Im running, and when winding down at the end of the day.

Cant be good if u r using mythconfirmers

Mythbusters???!??? Why u using mythconfirmers? Thats right! Not buster! Usually, they are smart, knowledgable, handy,... But they dont know everything!!! I used to watch them every chance I get... Then one day on an experiment, they said they BUSTED A MYTH WITHOUT GOING THRU ALL PLAUSIBLE POSSIBLE THEORIES. I cannot remember now what was the experiment, but the "myth" they "busted" could in fact be true(or needed more experimentation)!!!

Love it!

I have learned so much from this app! Excellent work. Love all the podcasts on here.

Very entertaining and interesting. I just started listening to the podcasts

Very entertaining and interesting. I just started listening to the podcasts and like the two hosts and their interaction. The topics are fascinating!

No content

It was working before but now theres no content. Maybe a bug with the latest update.

Spam thru this app

This is a spam app that goes into your private podcasts

Killing battery

Love the app, but its killing my battery and heating my phone up. Only happens when I use this app. A fix would be appreciated!

Love the show hate the app UNTIL

It stops overt heating my phone. Ill continue using the website for now. Using a 64gb 6s.

Battery Freak Out?

Hey HSW killed my battery overnight, so my alarm clock didnt go off. Did you change something? It says HSW background activity. Please fix! Thanks. Love the app!

Great, but.....

I would put five stars as I love, Love, LOVE the podcasts on this app; but as of late, the app will shut off mid listen and I have to start the app over again, find my podcast, find the episode, and where I was in the listening of that episode several times.

App has started draining my battery.

I LOVE HowStuffWorks. But not loving this app nowadays. Something has changed and it is gobbling my iPhone battery whether or not I am listening to a podcast. I used to be able to listen nearly all of my workday and still have 50% or more battery. Now, one podcast will drain 50% of my battery or more! This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I was hoping to hold out for the next update thinking it would get corrected; kind of surprised that there werent any reviews when I pulled it up in the App Store. Help!!!! I cant live without my HowStuffWorks fix, but I cant be charging my 6Plus twice a day!

Battery Drain

Great content and layout but the app quickly drains my battery! One podcast can take about half my battery. My charger cant even keep up with the drain. Hope this gets fixed soon because it is 5 stars otherwise!

Great company, glitchy app

I love listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast and after hearing all the downloadable ones on iTunes, I turned to the HSW app to hear older episodes. They are all on there but the app crashes and stops playing the episode at least 3-5 times in a 40 min session. It is endlessly frustrating especially since it has the potential to be so great. Please fix this glitch and add an easy button to fast forward or rewind the episodes as well!
