Ratings and reviews

Excellent podcast app. Requires a little tweaking to get everything to how you like it, but there are tons of customization options to get it just right. On Pixel 6a, if you hit play on the drop-down notification, the playback notification sometimes disappears and does not come back unless you pause, close the app, and reopen the app

I've tried lots of different podcast apps, and this is the one that I've finally settled on. Simple to use, effective and capable. Despite not being a cloud service it was easy to transfer to another phone and not lose my place on any podcast. Use the smart shuffle on the queue to have a great way to catch up on historical episodes without having to binge listen and to stay current with your latest podcasts.

Very good player. Auto skip for each podcast is very convenient. Couldn't figure out how to continually sort newest episodes always first...until helpful response from tech...thanks! (Upped to 4 stars) Now if the android auto interface could be configured to show skip forward and back instead of skip to next track, the app would be perfect! Hope the next update adds it.
