Ratings and reviews

This is the absolute BEST podcast player I have ever used! I love the amount of UI settings. The integration with Google color schemes is great! The backup option is also a necessity, it makes it easy to switch devices or from another player. However, it didn't appear my settings were backed up, that would be great and save a lot of time. I personalize the skip/start/end/mark played/ff/rew-times, and that's a pain to re do in settings if it's lost.

I was pretty excited to use this after I read a recommendation. A couple weeks into using it, I noticed two issues: 1) Audio won't play on Android Auto (Google Pixel 6a). To get it to come back, I need to start another app, have that it play something, then go back to this app. That fixes it every time, but it's a big hassle, and one I'd rather not need to do while driving! 2) Podcasts cut off before the end, and sometimes have glitches where bits in the middle are skipped over. Needs fixing

This podcast app is what I want for basic daily listening. The queue works fine, there is a listening speed option, and unfinished episodes sit at the top of the homepage screen so you can access them outside of the queue. The homepage doesn't look cluttered. There is a playback history list. The whole app runs smoothly. I haven't seen it get bogged down or stop playing or close altogether, which has been quite a relief. I am in favor of this podcast application.
