Ratings and reviews

I wanted to like this, but this app is absolutely devouring my battery. I'm not auto-downloading every episode and my phone is not even a year old. I can't imagine how this app could consume this much energy. I've used other podcast apps in the past and this has never been an issue, so it's notable enough to mention. Otherwise, this is a fine app; the only other thing it's missing is a button to mark something as listened to already so it falls off the New Episodes queue.

This looks like a good app for someone just getting into podcasts, not so much for someone who's been listening/following to multiple podcasts for years. No point in trying a new podcast app if I can't mark any episodes as played. Subscriptions may be imported, but not history and I haven't found a way to mark what episodes I have already listened to as played. I have too many podcasts I'm following to keep track of where I am in each one as I cycle through them.

I began using Goodpods in order to support smaller companies. The app I loaded onto my Android device could really use some help. It isn't very easy to keep track of which was the last episode I listened to on my saved podcasts. It would also help if when I navigated to my saved podcast series page, I could be presented with a list of episodes immediately, without having to click on anything. Mediocre app with lots of room to improve if they want to compete with the big guys.
