I've been using the free version for years with only minor issues, but recently it started pausing every time the ad at the top refreshes & playing 2-3 seconds of really fast talking (like at the end of some ads, only sped up so much I can't understand it). I have to unlock my phone and manually restart. It's super random, sometimes multiple times in a minute, other times I get maybe 10-15 minutes. Sent a message, no reply yet. Might be time to find a new app. 🫤

Update: Their banner ads sometimes tap themselves! Now it pauses my podcast to play their own ads???!!! I'm now shopping for a new podcast app! Original review: Love this! I've been using it for years. Full featured for free. Thank you! I'd like to support the devs with a few bucks but I don't need the premium features and I don't like the subscription model. The app didn't recognize the downloads after transferring the data to a new sd card. Minor inconvenience.

Thanks a lot, Jay! Our app is currently unable to associate transferred downloads to their corresponding episodes. But you may add them in your My Media playlist found within the Play Later/Playlists screen. Please note the app will make use of the downloads' filenames as titles this time. For other concerns, mail us at [email protected].

By far the best podcast app I've found. Haven't gotten to see how it syncs to a new device yet. It does just about everything I want. Great at managing multiple categories and in-order vs newest playback. Sometimes I do need to use another app to find the URL to subscribe to a podcast though. Also, some way to easily reorder the episodes in listening to with a certain tag would be nice. I'd love to pay for ad-free, but $40/year is too steep. I'd consider $5/year to be fair and $10 borderline.
