Ratings and reviews

Best podcast app! I've tried many different podcast players and this one is by far the best. So many options for making the experience exactly how I want it, rather than working within the limited confines of other apps. The search function could be a *little* easier, but that's just me being nit-picky because there's nothing else wrong here. Highly recommend!

Chapters are gone from podcasts in the latest version (removed 2 stars ). Edit : bug fixed by clearing app data. Extremely inconvenient as I was in a trip with no cell coverage and lost downloaded podcasts. Lesson learned to not update apps that you need when you are about to go to a trip 2 stars are back again. (With a bit of a sour taste in my mouth 😋😋 )

So after searching high and low for a podcasting app I've gone back to podcast republic because I find it has the best layout, customization and overall ease of use. It's amazing how user unfriendly and unintuitive most podcast apps are. I find podcast republic the best of the lot but the one thing that happens with regularity is it randomly loses the ability to download episodes an iit reallydrives me crazy but despite this it's still my favorite. If not for that, 5 stars.
