I use this for many years for its intended purpose, and I found a large and simple controls to be excellent for use in the car. Unfortunately, the app doesn't seem to be maintained and it doesn't work with the newest versions of Android. Does anyone have a replacement they would recommend? Google has a native podcast app, but it's entirely too fiddly to use while driving

Used for many years. Would still be using it but it doesn't quite work with bluetooth media controllers. This app is Open Sourced and I tried to fix the media controller issue myself. Even though I think I figured out the issue, it so old, and I'm no Java expert; I couldn't build the project. Best interface and easiest to use app in it's class. Just needs some TLC to bring it up to date with modern Android. Thanks to the author for contributing it to the community with an open source license. I hope somebody picks it up again.

This used to be my go to app for podcasts. I upgraded to the Galaxy S10 and now I'm getting a message saying that it may not work on this android version. Also it has been crashing my bluetooth stereo in my truck while other apps work just fine with it. I'm sorry to say that after having this app for more than 5 years I'm going to be deleting from my new phone.

love this. Once I figured out what key words to use to find podcasts either on this app or Internet - I was in complete control of my files. I did not like Apple's iTunes at all. THIS is one of the apps I missed while I had an iPhone. And one of the first I loaded onto my Samsung when I switched back.

Extremely simple controls. Unless you want to drill down then there's really quite a lot you can configure. Been using this for a few years and still think it's an absolute gem of an app.

I love the app it has been great. Does anyone know how to configure it to save podcasts to the SD card?

This is really great and I have used it for years

Love it! Thanks Bob 😘

No unnecessary bells n' whistles. Took a while to find all the tweaks (still doing that) but, clean up & does exactly what it says on the tin

Over 10 years and STILL the most important app on my phone. 30 sec skip is priceless, black background never strains my eyes in the dark. Auto download never fails. Works on every android. Thanks Bob for THE BEST product!

Love this little app and have been using it for years. I had a problem recently with a broken feed and contacted Mr. Herrman. He replied in a day AND told me how to fix it. That's great customer service!

I does not automatically down load podcast every morning at 2 am on wifi even though I am connected to wifi.... why.... I upgraded to a Samsung j7 and it says it downloads my podcast but most of my podcast are 0 minutes and 0 seconds

Great app, it's a shame it doesn't work with Android auto though.

A. G. u. May 27, 2022     

The only one with enough large buttons. Excellent.

Bri. N. Sep 19, 2016     

It's simple and it works! I have tried others, but I always come back to this one.

Car. J. Feb 2, 2017     

I love this app. I would like to see it work with android auto, though.

Still the winner, November 2016

The only quirk is the app downloads the newest podcasts first then the next newest second, so 2 or 3 part podcasts are out of order.

Ian. L. Jul 18, 2016     

Plays podcasts sequentially by date, auto downloads new podcasts over night and deletes listened to podcasts. Brilliant.

Dav. W. Nov 1, 2015     

I've tried many apps and this is the easiest and most reliable app out there. Only complaint is when I'm listening to a podcast and go to download the new podcast it stops playing the current one so it can delete the ones I've already listened too. It should be able to keep playing and do that at the same time.

A. G. u. Oct 8, 2015     

After trying many different apps, this one is the best! Works well and deletes old podcasts automatically. Searching new podcasts also works also great. Recommended!

A. G. u. May 29, 2015     

Love this app, use it everyday, awesome interface!

A. G. u. Jul 2, 2016     

Doesn't handle large podcasts 20+ hour episodes well.

Pet. B. Sep 19, 2014     

Great bit of software - saves messing around with diddy little buttons. Although as it works with the controls on the wheel, even better - seamless integration with the Leaf's entertainment system (shows the name and subject on the display; pages through using the fast forward etc.) Nice work!

The best podcast app i have ever used. It used to work great several years ago. Now it does not automatically download episodes. But still GUI is much better than any other podcast app I tried. I am still looking for good replacement to this app - no luck yet. All other apps are junk.

This thing is so simple, UI is not fancy but it gets the job done. Search for your podcasts (I found all of mine, they are extremely varied in subject matter, one is not on iTunes). It will download them daily or whenever you want. It displays your podcasts in a list, after you've listened or if you don't care about certain episodes, just click on each and delete. Formerly I used iTunes. I could NEVER delete podcast episodes, even after I listened to them & deleted - many times they'd re-download. My acct literally has hundreds of episodes, I can hardly find what I want. This simple, clean interface is much easier to look at on a phone or tablet than mega complex iTunes.

Tried it, like it very much. Especially once I found out how to delete Download history, because I deleted some podcasts by mistake ^_^
