I should have switched from Google Podcasts a long time ago. This is much better. There are lots of customization options. It's full of really great features that Google podcast should have added a long time ago but of course it's Google so it was half baked. *Edit: Thanks Dev for explaining. I was able to get tap controls to (mostly) work with Samsung ear buds. Great podcast app!

Thanks very much for your feedback. Glad to hear this app works well for you. You can go to app Settings > Media player > Bluetooth/headset key mapping to set up the actions for multiple tapping. Please note that this feature may not work for your headphone if the multiple tapping action is interpreted differently by the Android system.

I really like this app but I need a way to control my ads a little more. A lot of them are so loud they are actively painful. Like, I take my headphones off and can still hear EVERY WORD very clearly (not the norm for me). It actually seems dangerous at this point since sudden loud changes in volume can affect hearing and I where headphones. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thanks very much for your review. The ads you hear inside a podcast are provided and owned by the podcast publisher. I'd suggest to contact the podcast publisher if you have any concerns about the podcast you hear.

Don't know why there's a "pause download" button when it does nothing, if I restart the app sometimes it works, but then I try and select what I want downloaded...and the garbage decides to just...do whatever it wants, love that, who doesn't want an app that ignores the buttons you press, right? It's like when your computer just restarts and wipes everything you were working on, or how every social media feed is just full of recommendations rather than who you follow, who hates that?!
