Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy this app a lot! It's fully customizable, and just looks fantastic! One downside I've found so far that prevents me from giving it 5 stars. When my phone is locked, I can pause the podcast I'm listening to, rewind and fast forward, but I cannot unpause it from the lock screen. I have to unlock my phone, and access the app for playback to continue. Tried emailing, but didn't get a response.

This is a mostly fine replacement for Google Podcasts, except for a couple of very annoying things. 1. Not being able to download a single episode of a podcast without subscribing (and then being forced to listen to that episode before being able to unsubscribe). This has been requested as a feature for over 3 years with no fix. 2. Playback does not automatically resume the episode/location in Android Auto. You must open the app and navigate to the episode to resume.

Best Podcast app I've used easily. It does everything you need and nothing you don't. It is a reprieve from the modern Internet of everyone trying to sell you stuff and is primarily setup for playing podcasts you already know you want and does it well. The home screen is highly customizable so you can make it show exactly what you want. There is a search/discovery option but it doesn't bombard you with recommendations, it is there when you need it but gets out of your way when you don't.
