Ratings and reviews

This is a good little podcast app. since Google Podcasts was killed I haven't been able to find something that is small, ad-free, and stable. AntennaPod is mostly good but has always had an issue where it skips back for no reason, this doesn't appear to do that. My only minor gripe here is that it will unpause a podcast when you switch into the app, which is not my favourite behavior, but again it's minor. Overall an excellent and simple podcast catcher.

the Android Auto implementation sucks. specifically it requires lots of touches to play something through its menus, it doesn't auto advance to the next podcast, no fast forward, finding tracks to play is clumsy. it also doesn't have an auto download for offline use and no cleanup settings for old material.

I downloaded because I really like the privacy priorities and it's really simple and easy to use. All my podcasts are available on the platform. Only recently downloaded, but loving it so far!
