Ratings and reviews

Update: lock screen controls stop working after awhile. Not sure what triggers it but every morning they are unresponsive. Maybe the sleep timer? Hope they fix this because I use it to help sleep. Original review: This is the one folks. Perfect with all the feature I need, except a per-podcast "loud mode" to do compression / limiter volume dynamics to smoothly bring quiet moments up and loud moments down, so you can hear everything in the presence of noise like car engines.

PRO: ability to set a cue and manually sort episodes in the queue, and bulk "mark as played". CON:, navigation / UI would benefit from navigation buttons on the bottom instead of just the left menu button. WISH: search / add episodes to queue from shows without subscribing. Use case someone recommends a single episode of a podcast and I'd like to add it to my queue without subscribing BUG: progress bar shows wrong progress, which corrects once "play" is pressed

With Google podcasts on its way out in 2024, I needed a podcast app to download. Looked at all sorts, but AntennaPod is the closest to Google podcasts, but better. I personally like it. Lots of podcasts I watched on Google podcasts I ended up finding on AntennaPod . Works smoothly, no issues. Best podcast app if you're someone who doesn't use Spotify or others. Highly recommend. The best Podcast app that is smooth, and has a variety of podcasts to listen to. This app will help you grow.
