Comments on Podcast Player - Castbox for Android

★★★★☆ Studly Bonecrusher · Oct 19, 2026
Overall, a very good app. The only things keeping me from rating it 5 stars are the full-screen pop-up ads when trying to access the library that stop audio for several seconds and the fact that this app has been draining my battery a ton over the past month or two, even when listening to content that has already been downloaded.
★★★★☆ Sierra Segraves · Oct 4, 2026
Not as good as the stitcher app, but the best that's available now. I wish they would add a feature to mark a podcast as not interested to remove it from my feed without me having to mark it as played. It messes up the calculation of hours listening and also falsely indicates that it was something I enjoyed.
★★★★★ Miriam Keane · Oct 4, 2026
Great option for listening to podcasts. Easy to use. Easy to find favorite shows. You can set up auto download when you're on Wi-Fi, so there's always plenty in your library to listen to when if your network cuts out.
★☆☆☆☆ Aaron H · Oct 7, 2026
I had to come here for a review for the dev team. App now causing crazy overheating issues. Took me a while to isolate it to cast box. But for sure this app does something crazy while using. My phone gets so hot. I love this podcast app, yet the overheating issues forced me to move to another podcast app. Then like magic, no more overheating issues. It was just crazy, especially when in the car using Android Auto it would be so bad that podcasts would skip and then completely stop playing.
★☆☆☆☆ Wags Mags · Oct 14, 2026
Cast box used to be good Now it's lousy. Really lousy. In 2026, it created a vicious popup ads system. It now has full screen banner ads that block you from starting an episode for an undetermined time. Many of them are full screen with no exit preventing you from controlling your own phone.
★★☆☆☆ Tim Hough · Oct 24, 2026
Seriously buggy. Constantly plays episodes that I have already listened to (and are marked as a such) when I go back to finish listening to an episode. Edit: despite giving it unrestricted battery access, it also closes in the background on a whim. Heaven forbid you listen to podcast while using other apps! (e.g. it just closed on me when I got an email notification!)
