I, like most of you, am trying to find an alternative to Google podcasts since YouTube is terrible for that. This is my favorite of the ones I've tried except for two things. I wish I could slow down podcasts for accessibility reasons and I wish in the library screen, that there would be a dot on the subscribed podcasts that have new episodes. I wouldn't mind paying for an app for better features as they deserve it, but I'm not thrilled about another subscription.

Hi Betsy, you can slow down podcasts if you join our VIP tier and unlock that feature (we are half the price of pocketcasts and most of our competitors). Also on the Library tab you can enable "Show New Episodes Count" in the upper right menu, it does the same thing as the red-dot, while showing you a counter of "new" episodes at the same time.

A straightforward podcast app. After Google Podcast died, I went through several apps that don't know when to stop with feature bloat that makes the core experience worse. This app is where I'm finally staying. I'm so happy this one is so easy to use. The only downside I've noticed is that I have to take 2 clicks every once in awhile to delete downloads of completed podcasts because I don't want to upgrade yet to have auto-delete.

Not a bad app, definetly a good google podcast replacement. However it crashes quite frequently. I drive for a loving so this players going for a while. It doesnt pause or will start playing when bluetooth is switched over to any other input. Its playlist kind does it own thing sometimes, where if you play in the middle of a created playlist it will only show what the following episodes are not whats on the actual playlist. Its just not that intuitive for driving to be honest.

To reduce network issues while driving, enable auto-downloads (details in the FAQ). Also some vehicle audio systems send their own bluetooth commands when they connect, there is an app setting to block this. Send us a support request from the left vav, we are happy to help.

What's new


We've added future support for email logins, an account deletion feature, and lots of bug fixes and improvements!
