Coming from old iTunes-based podcast listening. I use a non-Apple mp3 player (I don't carry a phone, long story). Since Apple's Podcast app is so over-simplified and user-hostile, and its display of information is so graphic based (I prefer dense text), I gravitated quickly to Mimir. I've only used it three times, but so far so gool Suggestion: I'd like to restrict the display of recent episodes of each podcast, to say, the ten most recent. This lets me focus on relevant items, yet still maintains high density of information. Thanks for the app! I'm considering upgrading to Pro, but want to use it a while longer.
I’m giving this app a five star review because it works as expected and I’m invested in its growth since it works on MacBook and iOS with syncing. Pros: without paying or subscribing for pro, the app handles syncing between different devices. Subscribing the small amount a year gives you a fully unlocked audio engine that does silence skipping and other excellent additions. Well worth the price of admission. Cons: no CarPlay system built in. This was the one thing that was making me hesitate subscribing but opted to go for it anyway since playing a podcast still shows in CarPlay’s Now Playing platform. It’s not a full substitute but it works if you set up a long enough playlist ahead of time. Hopefully CarPlay is included in the near future. Neutral: on occasion as I play a podcast, the progress bar will sit at the end as if the podcast has finished playing even if it hasn’t (it will continue to play despite what the progress bar displays). I put this as a neutral because I don’t know if this is a bug caused by the Critical Role podcast’s files or if it’s a bug from Mimir. I don’t see this happen with the other shorter podcasts I listen to. Overall: this is a podcast app worth giving a try. I’ve tried a bunch of others and this one is head and shoulders above the other top apps out there.
So far Mimir is almost the best podcast app I've used. The only one that edges it out is Overcast, except that Overcast doesn't have a reasonable desktop app.A few changes would put Mimir on top for me:1. A native CarPlay interface. 2. The ability to automatically download new episodes, right now they can be set to download when played, when queued, or not at all.3. The big one: The Continuous Play is great, but I'd love to be able to set it to only add episodes to the end. For example: If Podcast A has 10 episodes that should sort higher than everything else, but I have it set to only show 1 of them, it will show that one episode and then episodes of different podcasts. However, when that 1 episode ends, it will insert the next episode of Podcast A into the queue in sort order, rather than at the end of the list. That means that even though I initially only see that 1 episode in the upcoming list, it will play all 10 episodes before getting to the rest of the list. I would like it to instead play through what's already shown and any new episodes at the end. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the point of respecting the episode limit is, since all it does is not accurately show you what it will actually be playing.Those first two features would put it on par with Overcast's features. That third would make it the best by far.EDIT: Great to hear that these features are being worked on. I like Mimir a lot, and being able to switch seamlessly between iOS and MacOS is a killer feature. Looking forward to future updates!
