Comments on AntennaPod - Podcast Player for Android

★★★★★ Dave D. · Oct 14, 2026
Antenna Pod is simply the best podcast app I've used, including paid apps. Clean, logical interface, no ads, trouble-free download and play back, and open source to boot. If you're looking for a podcast app, give this a try.
★★★★★ Joshua Schnetler · Oct 27, 2026
Listen to any podcast for free. And no ads I was looking for a free podcast player with ads. And this works
★★★★★ Dennis Tng · Nov 3, 2026
Probably the best podcast app out there at the moment. Simple, easy to use, does everything you need it to... just like the old google podcast one. No ads, no paid subscription thing, no cost. It's elegant. It just works.
★★★★★ Sheri R · Oct 14, 2026
Antenna Pod is an excellent source for podcasts. I have think the ads seem to more to do with the individual podcast choices. One podcast I listen to has two minutes ads each. Thank goodness I can fast-forward!!
★★☆☆☆ Josh Burkey · Oct 8, 2026
UPDATE: Antenna Pod is suddenly constantly disconnecting from casting in the middle of podcasts, when it was working just fine for years. Fix it please!! Great podcast app! Way better than YouTube Music!
★★☆☆☆ Nathan Zhang · Oct 20, 2026
Not the greatest experience I've had with a pod catcher 😤
