Ratings and reviews

Great podcast app that's almost perfect. The only issue I've run into is that if you open any other media, or pause your show, you have to open the app to start playing again. Other apps will leave the episode paused and ready to restart in the pull down menu or lock screen for much longer. Looks like this one times out after a minute or so. I haven't been able to find a setting to change this.

Good app but there are a couple issues. The new episode interface is a bit confusing. It's a bit hard to find to add new episodes to your queue. Editing my last part of the review because I figured out the function. I still think the speedup and slow down button could use some sort of indication of what speed it's going. You end up tapping it until it sounds normal. Sounds like they are working on features so maybe this is all being fixed. I'll give it 5 stars just based on the lack of app ads.

A nearly perfect replacement for the late Google Podcasts. The transition to using this app has been seamless. My one and only gripe is that podcasts don't automatically resume playing when connecting to Android Auto, forcing me to navigate to my queue and play the current episode. This is especially frustrating when Android Auto disconnects for seemingly no reason, causing me to lose my podcast while I'm out driving on a highway, which is a bad time for me to be navigating menus.
