Comments on Podcast Player - Castbox for Android

★★★★☆ K M Shahriar Shaheed Bappy · Mar 29, 2026

Love this app, but it seems that if you create an account it doesn't store info about your subscribed podcasts and listened episodes (At least that's what happened to me). So when I reset my phone, I had to find those podcasts again and mark listened ones one by one. Also, I can't seem to find any button to play a single episode or add it in the up next queue. Hoping the devs would add these in the future.

★★★★★ Kelli Hegeman · Mar 12, 2026

Cast box is fantastic! I listen to it every day! I love it!

★★★★☆ Aleksey Grichenko · Apr 3, 2026

Much better than it used to be but still has problems. Playlist almost never plays episodes as they are listed. In most cases it just cycles a single episode until I manually stop it and start the next one. There are other minor annoyances, but in general it's ok.

★★☆☆☆ Curtis Gould · Mar 18, 2026

The ads for this app are just insane. Probably 90% of them freeze, and you can't ever close them, so you have to force close the app. It's extremely frustrating while trying to browse episodes, or look for new podcasts. *edit* now every time I open the app, I get an ad, which is I'm listening to a podcast at that moment it pauses the podcast. Really great feature when you're changing podcasts.

★☆☆☆☆ Jennifer T. · Apr 8, 2026

Cast box subscribing me to pods? I noticed a bunch of new subscriptions on my account and at first I thought I have forgotten that I added them, but opening today, I was signed up for pods that I would NEVER listen to. I think I need to find a new platform.
