Ratings and reviews

Works generally well, the UI isn't always intuitive, but overall satisfied. Every once in a while some setting will change, on the app or the phone, where it suddenly won't resume the podcast after a notification interrupts it. In the past making sure the app can't be put into sleep fixed it, but right now I'm having this problem and that's not the issue. It's annoying to have to resume the play after each notification (e.g., during a run while I get pace information etc).

I was looking for a replacement for BeyondPod. This checks all the boxes and it was easy to move my feeds over. Update: I still really like this app but I've started having a new issue where the audio will stop playing and I have to open the app and press play again. If I have the app open in driving mode, I see the message, "player stopped." I've looked around the message boards but haven't found a solution.

Does exactly what I need it to, which is play podcasts, and is customizable enough that I can fix the settings mostly how I want. I would love for the "do not delete if the sleep timer is running"option to be available on length of time not just "end of episode". Some of the sub menus could use streamlining, and the explanation for certain settings are sometimes unclear, but overall, a great app
