Closest replacement to Google podcasts since they discontinued it. Allows for downloading and creating a playlist for offline listening, which is a must when hiking somewhere with poor signal. Also doesn't insert app-based ads during playback. Always has the latest episode of the podcasts I subscribe to, which was not the case with some of the other apps out there. There are other apps for music, but this is the best remaining free app for listening to podcasts.

It's been fine enough of a podcast app. The app isn't the easiest to navigate through because of the way it's set up but once I use it more I'm sure it won't be a problem. Also, after a couple days of listening through it, I noticed that it'll skip back in the episodes and rewind about 15 seconds back or so and you've got to listen to a portion that you just listened to...again. That's been happening more regularly and is pretty annoying. But it's a free app so can't really complain.

What you're describing is caused by the podcast using dynamic ad insertion. These ads added while you're streaming are messing up the file. The workaround here is to download the episodes for this podcast

I like the app. I just would like to see some improvements. 1. I would like to have the option to rewind by five seconds or 10 and vice versa with a push of a button like other apps. 2. I think the error message of needs a wifi to work keeps coming up when I leave my house. It cuts off at the last part, that's why I'm not sure of the full sentence. I haven't found a setting to fix that. Other than that, it's great. Keep it up.

You just need to press on the player rewind/fasfirward to do so. By default it will skip -15s/+30s but you can change the values in the player. Your phone is in charge of displaying the messages. I'm not responsible if it doesn't show the full thing. If you want to stream over Mobile data please allow it in settings/network. Pls contact me 1st when
