The app is great overall for listening but the most magical experience I ve had was when my friend sent me a link to a podcast episode When I clicked the link it didn t take me to a webpage about the episode or the listing for the podcast in iTunes I didn t have to look for the episode in a list or figure out how to listen to it The link opened directly in Pastime took me straight to the episode and I was already listening Such a joy                     Fastest way to listen to a podcast WhatDidPollySay

I love this app I used to spend a lot of time searching for something interesting With the new pastime newsletter I quickly find new podcasts with specific episodes to choose from                     Great app eslteach7

I love using Pastime for listening to podcasts and I listen to a lot It s beautiful and easy to use unlike some other podcast players I also LOVE the focus on finding good episodes to listen to and not just shows Sometimes I just want to find a great episode and Pastime is awesome for that                     Love this app ErikBison

Doesn t let you listen to local files have to buy their junk     Scam to sell Music tv movies BrightHalo

Reviewing Pastime Version 1 0 2 As before this audio player is ad free and easy to operate without looking at your device It is now even better suited for the vision impaired I recommend this player for easy operation by touch including for sighted users who want to select and play audio books and shows without the need for attention to the screen such as while driving Instructions for use are given once using Voiceover so pay attention when you first use the program I use it for podcasts Show titles are shown on a scrolling menu in an extremely large font Touch one and the title will be read aloud There is a quiet sound with each tap for play or pause As with the last version of Pastime swiping left or right will go 15 seconds forward or back The swipe direction now stays the same regardless of device orientation so operation by touch is more consistent Swipe and hold for fast forward and rewind I have a number of suggestions for future versions The 15 second swipe is valuable to skip small portions of discussions or to review part of the show after interruptions The Voiceover with each 15 second swipe talks over the show making it hard to tell whether I have gone as far as desired A different quiet blip for each direction would be preferable to the 15 second verbal message I would retain the existing message for swipe and hold time changes We should be able to quickly repeat the 15 second swipe as before I have always found it very useful to skip unwanted show introductions There is a pie graph of show progress which would be useful to display while advancing or rewinding Please stop demanding I turn on my cellular data every time the app is used or the phone is unlocked This window pops up in front of the player and blocks operation In the last version it was much easier to tell when a show had been played to the end Perhaps a diagonal slash stamped across the screen at the end of the track and on each of the completed shows on the menu would be helpful in this version Currently the show menu scrolls smoothly If the menu could snap from one show to the next perhaps with a click and or haptic feedback we could count down the list and select a certain show more easily An option to turn off Voiceover in Settings would be welcome You have my thanks for this excellent app                 An App on a Mission Roman Pro File

This had always been my go to app fir audiobooks But this new version will not even open on my iPhone 4 I have tried and tried but it just goes back to the phone home screen It s really pathetic and unless it is fixed soon I will have to dump this app and find another     Pitiful Joeykarr

The old version would play my some of my podcast this version doesn t     Needs more work Reviewers Nickname

    It used to be great but the latest version is not working 98034

Missing basic features like remembering your place Hard to navigate scroll back and forward as well Not ready for prime time     Can t remember your place Luhmann

I ve used this app successfully for quite a while but lately it will not hold my place in a book if I switch books or activities on my IPOD Not sure if the app is broken or something else on my device is interfering             Won t hold place DrLarryE

Works great for me I m a daily audio book listener and have had no problems in the couple weeks I ve been using this app Played around with it quite abit to get used to interface very happy with it                     Great for me nutsnbolts24

Great basic idea But it doesn t remember how far you ve come Doing that is almost the definition of an audiobook player             Memory loss eolake

It s just a front end to the built in player not a separate player If you pause playback of an audiobook switch to the built in player start playing a song pause the song switch back to this app continue playback of your audiobook you ll hear the song you previously paused     Useless sdfkgjsirtjmbjkf;slkgjs;lkfgjl

This is the best stand alone player for audiobooks It is easy to use but has one major flaw no way to skip to the next or previous chapters It has a jump to time feature which is fine if you actually know which minute and hour you are on almost never It also has a pretty useless forward 15 sec backward 15 sec feature All of this make for a frustrating experience if the app crashes and you lose your place causing you to re open the book and guess the exact time where left off then skip around 15 seconds at a time until you hear something familiar Still after all these flaws it is better than any other audiobook player out there             Best stand alone player needs work Solecize

But won t be my last Afraid u have to seek out another because I just discovered it doesn t start reading where I left last when I close the app Seems like a no brained in an audio book app but there s not even a bookmark feature Simplicity is great but it needs one more feature             My first audio book app Limberfoot

Really don t like the built in player This app works great for audiobooks                 Just what I wanted Guatemala Pat

Easy to use Would be perfect if there was a way to remember the last spot in the audiobook if the app is closed I can t always remember where I last was when I was listening to my book and it s a pain to scroll to the spot in a 15 hour book every time A bookmark feature would be perfect                 Does what it s supposed to do E King

Although I m not visually impaired I listen to audio books in the evening after a hard day s work This app makes it so easy for some of us who are not so tech savvy My mother who became blind several years ago was an avid reader This is the only audio device that she is able to work and I think we tried them all She is now able to read again This has given her new life                     RN Penqueena

15 second rewinding and fast forwarding buttons disappeared after updating to IOS 5 1 1             Not Good Lucy Diez

The important Jump To Time feature doesn t even work If I close the app the book continues to play in the default iPad Music app What a let down     Jump to Time doesn t work ram327

I like to listen to audiobooks of the same actual books that I m reading so that my drive time is more enjoyable All of other apps I had were horrible at helping me navigate to a new spot in a book This app is just ideal for that Thanks                     Great app KaraT in KS

Simple controls and ease of use make this the app I use to listen to audiobooks It s easy to jump to a location skip ahead or skip back in audiobooks a well done app Many thanks to the developer                     Great improvement for audiobooks tonyk94583

And you can t beat free I love this for my audiobooks                     Great App zzipdog

Works better than anything else I ve tried GUI is very clear and well thought out Maybe irrelevant but I have no legs and have grown to prefer audiobooks                     Wow ElmachinoTeTxingo

My grandma has always been an avid reader Unfortunately at 88 years old she can no longer see well enough to read without assistance She started listening to audio books on the iPad two years ago and it completely revitalized her life Unfortunately however she is not tech savvy and she always pressed the wrong buttons and lost her place in the books This app is perfect for her Since it is fool proof it saves her from listening to hours and hours of the wrong section of books                     Perfect for my grandmother Emilyjf
