Best open source podcast app. Love it. Easy to use and has great features.
★★★★★Ian Hymers· Aug 22, 2026
Works very well and easy to use and navigate. Hasn't missed any episodes of the podcasts I listen to unlike other apps I've tried.
★★☆☆☆Ken Holmes· Aug 6, 2026
After years of dealing with the skip issue, finally gave up and uninstalled. I wish they would have cared enough to fix it because it is an otherwise great app
★★☆☆☆Tadas Simokaitis· Aug 7, 2026
Casting is getting more and more broken. Frustrating asf.
★★☆☆☆Dan Laskowski· Aug 22, 2026
Worked well for a few weeks. Then kept stopping during playback. Only played a few minutes at a time.
★★☆☆☆Morgan Lockwood· Aug 17, 2026
(update: Aug '26 - cannot play podcast episodes without getting a "source error" message.) original review-the best podcast app. Simple, clean UI with every feature I could want or need. Literally perfect.
