Comments on Podcast Player for Android

★★★★☆ Michael Cohen · Jun 20, 2026

Installed on new phone, and it automatically subscribed to a few podcasts, and I cannot remove them from my subscribed list

★★★★★ GUS nava · Jun 25, 2026

It is one of the best podcast the teachings are really good makes me keep listening all day without worries thank God that his got different ways to communicate to his children I enjoy it multiple podcast from different organizations to listen to its like my own show to listen to Gods word this is truly amazing for us it's a blessing to be able to play a listen to there teaching and follow along to be able to search the scripture an open our eyes that God is in control an everyday new adventure

★★★★★ Derek Morocco · Jun 7, 2026

This is the first podcast app I've ever used and im having a great experience so far. I like being able to cast to other devices, really comes in handy.

★★☆☆☆ Dani Topaz · Jun 13, 2026

Doesn't play episodes sequentially, only skip option is 30s which is annoying if you're trying to skip through ads, and it takes you too far. Also randomly skips 1-2 minute chunks of the episode that you have to rewind. Once the episode ends it takes you back to the home screen, so you have to search the podcast again to play the next ep.

★☆☆☆☆ Robert Christian · Jun 22, 2026

A million in-app ads, the app stops playing if any other app plays audio, and you need to manually restart podcasts, and you have to do that in app, not from drop. Awful.
