Sword And Scale

I want to like this app, but being pushed to it and then it doesn’t even save your spot so that every time I open it I have to figure out what episode I was on and where in the episode I was. This is supposed to be something convenient to listen to. Too bad.

2.22.0 update - offline listening is still broken despite the changelog saying it is fixed. Devs- please turn off WiFi and cellular and try to listen to an entire episode- bet you can’t. App also logs you out often. And of course you can’t listen offline without logging in again which requires being online. 2.21.2 update- app is still broken if you want to listen offline. There is no way they test this before releasing. Very disappointing. I end up always listening with ads via Apple podcasts so I can listen offline. So why do I even pay? I love S&S but the app has big problems. It is impossible to listen to an entire episode offline despite it being downloaded because there is some background subscription checker that requires the internet. I understand the need to validate the subscription but it needs to be less often. Maybe if you pay by the month, check it monthly? App is also heavy on data usage even trying to listen to downloaded episodes. You also can’t access the player menu after starting a downloaded episode unless you back out to the main menu. Please fix! Also allow us to filter out played episodes

I have used this on both android and iOS. After a period of time, the app logs you out whether you’re using it or not. The old version never did this. As the episodes are only released weekly, this gets to be pretty annoying, especially since neither platform lets you save your credentials for this app. It also frequently forgets my place in an episode if I don’t finish it.

Cannot listen to a “downloaded” episode offline. Can’t hardly open the app when in bad service.

As a stay-at-home mother who drives my children to multiple athletic events for hours each week, I can’t express how grateful I am for your amazing podcast. It truly gets me through those long drives. Your content stands strong against the noise of current trends that permeate so much else out there. Keep up the fantastic work—this momma needs her driving material!

I’ll start by saying I’ve been a fan for a long time. I was even a paid subscriber. I love the content, i love mikes opinions. My only gripe is that recently the episodes seem to mostly be comprised of court or police audio recordings with mike just repeating the unfolding story as it goes along. I just feel like it’s missing some of the investigative elements that originally made it so appealing

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2016 and it was my favorite one until it wasn’t. The host is constantly making passive aggressive remarks, misogynistic comments, and even slights towards his listeners. Boring episodes now too will cancel my subscription 🥱 no worth my $. And don’t even get me started on the MINUTES long music in between… that he’s been asked by many to change, but he DGAF and has even made jokes of it. I’m all for saying it like it is, being non PC, being stubborn and a d! ck, but he takes it overboard. And my last thing HUMANS inherently ain’t sh* t, not just women. This guy is so biased and a dork lol. I misspelled his last name purposely, fyi.

The app doesn’t remember anything. It doesn’t keep my place in the podcast or which podcast. If keeps asking my to turn on notifications and it will stop playing randomly

I love Mike, love the stories, format, plus, rewind, nightmares, all of it. But I am soooooo annoyed with this app. I’m going to see if I can go back to the podcast app. Because this app will not keep track of progress. Meaning when I stop listening everytime I reopen the app I have to figure out where I left off. And on top of that it doesn’t even save the last place I navigated too. So when I’m trying to find the episode I left off on it won’t even open the right season or anything. I literally have to navigate from the home page EVERY TIME.

for $10 a month, you think the app could pick up where you left off on a certain episode, instead of having to find the one you were listening to, and having to guess the time mark. for $10 a month, you’d think you’d be able to create a queue
