Pretty good app overall, I love all the customizable settings, sometimes the podcast will backup a bit on its own, I've been using it for over a month now, the only two things I would like changed are 1. When using android auto I wish I could press the mute button on my radio to pause AND play, pause works but not play. Google podcasts used to do this and I loved it. 2. Give the ability to move the adds to the top of the screen to get it out of the way of my thumbs.

I love that I can choose to stream or download, make my own playlist and order them automatically or manually. The basic settings are great, but can easily be customized in just about anyway to make it your experience. I also like that youtube channels/videos can be added. Occasional bugs pop up, but not killers and the app is well maintained and updated that these tend to get resolved. Wish there was a way (or that I was aware of how) to rate podcasts and get recommendations based on that.

Thanks very much for your review. Glad to hear this app works well for you. You can rate and leave a review for your podcast inside the app. There's a Review button on the screen if you open the podcast from Subscriptions page. You can tap on that button to view the rates and reviews from other users and write your own review as well.

I downloaded this app last night, so this is just my preliminary review. I like how it's customizable, but streaming podcasts is quite janky (run times are incorrect, etc.). Downloads seem to function without issue. Descriptions either take a long time to load or don't load at all. I got this app because it's on play pass, so I don't know how it runs with presumably more ads involved. Needs some tweaking, but I'm forced to try out new podcast apps since google killed their podcast player.
