Ratings and reviews

I really like this app! It's easy to use, looks clean, and lets me rearrange into groups. The only issue I'm having is that it occasionally skips backwards while I'm listening, and has started doing it every time I stop listening entirely. I now have to check where I am in the pod so I can go back to the appropriate place when I start back. This seems to have gotten worse with the recent Android update. Otherwise, very, very nice app.

Easy to use and customize. Did not want to leave Google Podcasts, but have no choice. Of all the major Android podcasts I've tried over a period of several months, this is by far the best. No skipping, no repeating itself, and super ready to customize. Able to upload my podcasts from one app to this one easily. Very happy with this as my Google Podcasts replacement.

This is my favorite podcast app after the demise of Google podcasts. Content discovery platform is great. In terms of playback I look for three things (1) download for offline = check (2) variable speed and trimming = check (3) playlists = check. Id love to see a little more control of auto delete of old or already heard content. My only real issue is that some playlists disappear when offline if even one episode of the list was not downloaded.

What's new

Three major, long-requested features in this release! Introducing "Smart Playlists", these playlists automatically track and update a group of podcasts as new content becomes available. We've also added configurable skip buttons in the app settings for personalized control, and a new per-podcast silence trimming setting to enhance your listening experience.
