Ratings and reviews

By far, the best podcasting app I have ever used. After being forced to move from Google podcasts, when they announced they were shutting down, I tried both Podbean and Spotify. Both disappointed. One made it hard to find my favorite podcasts and the other just stopped downloading podcasts. I have always favored open-source apps, so that is what attracted me to AntennaPod. Wow, what a difference. I find it is just easier to manage and then delete podcasts once I have listened to them! Great app!

Excellent player! Since Google podcast is discontinued, I was looking for a non-Google player but didn't want to go back to Podcast Addict which was good but has very poor UX. This is perfect. It has just the right balance of features and usability, streamlined, super functional, and clean looking. Kudos to the devs! The only thing is sometimes, playback on Chromecast is buggy and require an app restart. And recommendations based on what you already subscribe to would be a nice addition!

Great open source app, works on Android Auto. I used it years ago but was a little buggy before. Moved to Google podcasts then back to this one recently, and was able to import my whole subscription list which was good. One thing I notice now is the Episodes refresh feature is a little slow when you have 40 or more subscriptions, they possibly need to address that lag. Also once in a while it will replay the same 10seconds of audio but not often. Really has been improved over the years!
