Comments on Podcast Guru - Podcast App for Android

★★★★★ wes zab · Jul 13, 2026
Google podcast discontinued, I found this app, and it does a great job I've never had the app break or crash.
★★★★☆ Dan Deloge · Sep 27, 2025
Review update: For some reason, there are 6 episodes from the latest menu that won't go away even when I update the episodes, it's like they're stuck there. I even unsubscribed to those podcasts and the episodes disappeared. Didn't solve the problem. As soon as I re-subscribed, the same 6 episodes re-appeared and the updated latest episodes from my library follow. Updating latest episodes seems to update, but not in order and same six are there pushing newer down.
★★★★★ Peter Leviten · Jun 27, 2025
UPDATE 6/27/25: Great customer support too! Helped me import an RSS feed and the podcast works perfectly! This is a tremendous app! Google's decision to drop their podcast app left me in the lurch. Luckily I found Podcast Guru. I easily migrated my favorite podcasts. The intuitive controls made the process a breeze, and the interface works flawlessly. During the few times I had issues I was able to solve the problem thanks to great Help support. Can't say enough good things about Podcast Guru!
★☆☆☆☆ E. O. · Aug 13, 2026
Used to be great now it's littered with audio ads somehow ruining my usually ad free podcasts. Goodbye I guess. Edit I don't get the audio ads on the same podcast on other podcast apps. It's Google Chrome and Gemini ads. It's somehow injected into the audio stream I think.
★☆☆☆☆ Michael Coulter · Feb 9, 2026
The download and listen offline feature is broken. I will replace Podcast Guru. I quite liked it before. 😮‍💨
★★☆☆☆ Joe Barrett · Jun 26, 2025
The app now stays open, no matter how many times I back out of it or swipe it off the screen. The only way effectively close is, is to force stop it. It's extremely annoying, because the notification at the top is the screen is always up and taking up all the space. Also, deleting all offline episodes is too accessible, which leads to my accidentally deleting them, when I'm just trying to delete completed episodes. Still the best podcast app on android.
