Ratings and reviews

Solid... a little hard to get used to at first, coming from other podcast apps, but very solid. Works with Android Auto with no problems at all but it really, really needs a rewind button on the AA interface urgently. It would be nice if it could add a sleep function and a button on the playback screen to toggle automatically playing the next podcast in the queue (so I can, say, let the current one finish playing but not advance to the next one once it ends). It's solid but no-frills.

This is one of the better apps for podcasts. I really love how it just focuses on the essentials and keeps it very simple. One thing that drives me crazy: each episode has a file size rather than a run time display. Knowing how long a podcast is is much more important to me than how big the file is. At least provide an option to pick one of them

It's really good. Doesn't have categories or auto playlists like beyondpod, but it's not abandonware like beyondpod either. In fact it can never be, it is open source! There are some other things about how it behaves but one thing I just learned is that downloading automatically puts it in the queue, you don't have to do that separately
