Comments on Podcast Player for Android

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Eva Mok Β· May 31, 2026
It keeps deleting my episodes automatically after I listen to them, even though auto-delete is off. I like listening to my favorite episodes again like children listening to the same bedtime stories every night. Please make keeping the episodes the default option. Great app other than that.
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† Buck Who? Β· May 21, 2026
This is a great app, and I can catch up woth my favorite podcasts. I also like fining new podcasts to listen to, especially finding new sleep podcasts. But the one thing that I don't like is thT the app keeps crashing halfway through an episode. If you could have someone look into the issue, I'd really appreciate it.
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… GUS nava Β· 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
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Robert Christian Β· 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.
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Lala Kinz Β· May 29, 2026
I just created my account and noticed that I was already subscribed to several podcasts I had never listened to and never subscribed to myself. I can't remove or unsubscribe from them. On top of that, the podcasts I actually do listen to and subscribed to myself aren't working properly. When I open them, the episodes don't load. The page starts loading, then stops, and remains completely blank.
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Jodie Smith Β· May 16, 2026
Doesn't appear to have an option to save x number of episodes of each podcast and then delete an old one if a new one comes in. that is what I need as I listen mostly to news podcasts
