Podchaser Integration
We were the first, and currently only app to have full podchaser integration! With Podchaser as our partner, we provide a rich experience, by showing you creator profiles, user lists, reviews and ratings.

I was on Stitcher until it shut down, then Google Podcasts until it shut down. Tried a couple of the highest rated pod players and they were so frustrating I only lasted a few days. I was about to give up when I found this one. It's incredible! Works perfectly, easy to use, not annoying, great interface. I'm so grateful to the developers of this amazing app.

Really liked Google Podcasts. Google Podcasts was discontinued. Terrible move. Forced to You Tube Music. It's good for music but awful for podcasts. Had to find something that could keep my place on a podcast without resetting it every time. I hope these mistakes have benefitted Podcast Guru. They gave me the basic, intuitive features I wanted for listening to podcasts. 5 stars for replacing Google Podcasts as a simple, functional app for podcasts.

This is a tremendous app! Google's decision to drop their podcast app left me in the lurch. Luckily I found Podcast Guru. I easily migrated my favorite podcasts. The intuitive controls made the process a breeze, and the interface works flawlessly. During the few times I had issues I was able to solve the problem thanks to great Help support. Can't say enough good things about Podcast Guru!
