Ratings and reviews

Like many of the earlier Android apps, it still works, even if your phone claims it won't, and it still works better than newer flashier ones. I actually had the paid premium one, but it didn't get the last update. Would be better if released under a Free Software license, particularly now that its nor being actively maintainef.

Used for many years. Would still be using it but it doesn't quite work with bluetooth media controllers. This app is Open Sourced and I tried to fix the media controller issue myself. Even though I think I figured out the issue, it so old, and I'm no Java expert; I couldn't build the project. Best interface and easiest to use app in it's class. Just needs some TLC to bring it up to date with modern Android. Thanks to the author for contributing it to the community with an open source license. I hope somebody picks it up again.

I use this for many years for its intended purpose, and I found a large and simple controls to be excellent for use in the car. Unfortunately, the app doesn't seem to be maintained and it doesn't work with the newest versions of Android. Does anyone have a replacement they would recommend? Google has a native podcast app, but it's entirely too fiddly to use while driving
