Perfect interface, ever evolving features, fast and efficient searches and suggestions, tons of customizable options,, and direct responses from the developer to requests. Just the best around. Stuff I'd like to top it would be custom categories now that I have so many pods to follow, and an "in app" way to rate and support my fav podcasts. That would make it 6 stars out of 5! Great job keep it up!

For me the best app for listening to podcast. You can find every podcast and search by language and category. The playlist fonction is really useful as well as the timer. But there has been a bug for the past few days : when I'm downloading new episodes without having listened to all the previous ones, the app seems to mix everything and undowloaded others episodes and put them in the already played category.

I have been using this app for years (donated after a few months and never regretted it) and have seen it become better and better (I LOVE the back up system so much, it was a blessing after having my phone stolen). My one tiny regret is not being able to create several themed/custom playlists, but really... it is otherwise perfect. It always works well in the car mode, you can categorise your podcasts, the recommendations are good... i have tried a few other apps but always come back.

Enjoyed it for a while. Nice settings, everything worked. Around 6 months ago it randomly started to skip back or forward by 15 sec. to a min, w/my screen off. Then you play the guessing game: do I need to rewind or fast forward it, & for how long? Contacted the owner for help, who had difficulty reading & comprehending what I've described above. I got frustrated & decided to deal with the skipping instead of the owner. Now it's skipping several times in a 1 hour episode. Looking for a new app.

Help! I absolutely LOVE this app! It beats spotify in every way possible! BUT! Ever since the last Android update to Android 11, the mini player is no longer found in the quick access drop down menu, it's now nested under another area within the drop down called "Media Output" which isn't very convenient to access. Does anyone know if there's a way to get it back into the regular drop down?

Of the podcast apps that I have used so far, it's been the most enjoyable and powerful ones. The only major flaw I have found with the program is that it lacks interfacing with Waze. It can be used with Android Auto if your car has that ability, but since Google changed how Android Auto functions when not connected to a car, the lack of direct Waze integration knocks off a start. Apple Music integration was added less than a day ago from the time of this review.

Love this app! I've had it for years across devices and it's one of my only indispensable apps. A request or 2: wish I was able to create folders and move subscribed podcasts to those folders. It would really help keep what I've got organized. Failing that - or in addition - wish I had the ability to sort my subscribed podcasts by genre. EDIT: Sorry, I meant that I wish I had the option to edit (then sort by genre). I'm aware of the categories, but I don't believe I'm able to edit it myself?

R.. B. May 23, 2022     

I enjoy the app. It has all my favorite podcasts in one place. I prefer it to Spotify. One thing though. I wonder on the individual podcasts where you can sort by different categories, I wonder why there isn't an option to pull up the unplayed episodes. It's seems like the most obvious one, but it's the one that isn't there.

Jam. G. May 12, 2022     

This is my favorite podcast app by far. New podcasts are easy to find. My subscribed podcasts are clearly displayed in tiles. The interface is snappy and intuitive. Some other podcast apps make me lose my downloads due to account or login issues. That's never been a problem for me in Podcast Addict. It just works and works consistently well. I have recommended this app to others in casual conversation before. I don't really have anything negative to say which is rare.

Bob. R. May 15, 2022     

Still the best. Appreciate the effort to make playlist filters but you left some bad behaviors ìn the implementation. I don't need filtered lists but custom tab is default every time... should be persistent. And that's only a pain because "no filter" drops items from the list depending on some properties filled in by publisher I'm guessing. So you added steps for me. 7 pcs in the list, go to list and get 2 in custom tab. I now need to switch tabs every time. Irritating.

It took me about two full days to appreciate this podcast player. Just about ANY feature you can think of is contained within the settings. But I had to spend a considerable amount of time figuring it all out! Now that I have I can say that this is the best podcast player that I have ever used. There is an audio boost setting that I appreciate as one of my podcasts do not exhibit the best audio production. I decided to subscribe to show my appreciation for the development of this app.

Nem. M. May 10, 2022     

I have an issue with the app. I've been listening to Black Box Down, and for some reason the podcast has way more episodes on the Podcast Addict website than on the app. I updated the rss feed url and refreshed but it won't update with more episodes. Not sure why this has happened. Otherwise I really love this app, it's super easy to use.

A. B. May 3, 2022     

Have been using this app for 2 years plus now and I love it! Ad text is unobtrusive, option to play individual podcast at variables speed (Except music related, I use 1.3x speed as default for all podcasts), play list with customizable order, intuitive search engine, are some of the features that have glued me to this app. I wish this app was available for ipad/iphone.

Excellent app! Huge number of ways to customize. Great search engines. Customer service very responsive. Can add manual rss feeds, much prefer it to the others I've tried. The sleep timer is awesome as you can schedule it's length and when it turns on. It was reverting to ad banner on me but that was an issue with my google play account.

This is a very easy to use and reliable podcast app. Great for sorting playlist queues, able to adjust update times, more audio tuning options than I know what to do with. Also great that they have a widget for the homescreen. I'd love if they could get this to work with Google assistant (I at least can't figure out how to get it to work). Would also be nice to have an ad skipping feature that I've seen in some other apps, but not a deal-breaker.

Lev. S. Mar 17, 2022     

This is the best podcast app. I've been using it for years and there's no better app to download hundreds of podcasts and organize them. I love all of the custom settings and the intentionality in the design. If you're looking for a simplistic minimalistic podcast app go use Spotify. If you actually want a feature-rich app that's also easy to use, choose podcast addict.

Eri. L. Mar 26, 2022     

This app is intuitive, easy to use, and integrates with Android Auto. It's great. I'm rating it only three stars due to a long lasting issue: sometimes, it will randomly jump ahead or behind a few minutes in an episode. This can result in ending the episode early. The app does this with no visible error. I have run into this on Pixel 3, 3a, and 5, on WiFi and LTE, and when using any of several Bluetooth devices or none at all. This occurs in several different podcasts intermittently.

Fantastic app, can be a little confusing to get it fully set up the way you want because it has so many options to customize, but it's pretty much perfect once you figure everything out. I have a Playlist of several different podcasts which automatically downloads, updates and re-orders them based on how I've chosen to prioritize my listening. For example I have mine set to play a short news podcast first each day before moving on through the rest of the auto updating Playlist of my other shows.

Ton. B. Mar 15, 2022     

I've used a bunch of podcast apps and they all either fall short or stop working the way they did originally after the developer updates them - ostensibly in an effort to squeeze more cash out of users. I've only been using this app for a week but I absolutely love it. Feature-rich, responsive, not ad-crazy. Just upgraded to premium. To the developer: I left Stitcher (as did many others) and Spotify because they "upgraded" and made them worse. You've got a great product here, don't break it.

Mon. O. Mar 22, 2022     

I have never given a rate for an app before, but this is an amazing app. All in one for podcasts and audio books. Plus I had issues with my phone so I had to re-download it. No problems with the backup of my podcasts! The 5 star rate is actually for the reply the developers give to the people who give bad reviews. I had to lol at a lot of them! You people are great! Keep up the amazing work!!

Ana. B. Mar 10, 2022     

This fantastic app has every imaginable tweak and setting available. Honestly, it was a little intimidating and overwhelming at first. So many options and settings! But in time as I discovered each setting option, I began to really appreciate how precise and personable the options and settings are. Awesome app, won't ever go back to any other!

The best podcast player, bar none. Extremely easy to add private resources feed (patreon, etc). It is extremely customizable, including settings that I'm not even sure how to use. The only con is that it can be a little harder to setup at first, but it's easy to figure out. Give it a try!

Ros. H. Mar 15, 2022     

I have used this app for about 10 years and it is second to no other podcatcher. Custom settings for everything you can imagine including podcast-specific settings for new downloads, saved episodes, etc. This is the best podcatcher available. My only complaint is that I liked the old logo/icon better. The devs know what I'm talking about ;)

L. W. May 21, 2022     

Excellent player, I have tried several free players before and many had unreliable function, or I couldn't find many of the podcasts I wanted to hear. Podcast addict, streams to my phone even in places I previously believed had no signal, and I am up to 54 subscriptions and counting because I can find what I need. Highly recommended.

Cha. C. May 22, 2022     

Takes some getting used to, but finally a replacement for my beloved Beyond Pod which hadn't been updated in forever. The developer is hands on and responsive and I have enjoyed discovering all of the nooks and crannies if the app. You can really customize almost everything!
