Hello,I recently discovered your app, and as a podcast enthusiast who frequently switches between podcast app players, I must say that yours is a refreshing and enjoyable experience. Despite my attempts to move away from Apple Podcasts, I always find myself returning to it due to its transcription feature. I hope that with future updates, your app will improve in this area, as I’ve encountered inconsistencies so far.One minor issue I’ve noticed is that the player at the bottom of the screen covers the podcast listed at the bottom of the feed folder. No matter how much I scroll up to view the listed podcast, the player continues to cover it. This is the only issue I’ve encountered.Overall, I’m impressed with the app and your team’s work. It’s become my go-to podcast player for the time being.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. Only with user's feedback the app can improve. The issue will be addressed in the upcoming updates.
Polished, simple, beautiful
Slappula
I was looking for something like this a few years ago but couldn't find it. I ended up with a free podcast app that constantly bugs me to upgrade for a terrible set of features. BetterCast is very polished and clean. No ads and very easy to use.
Developer Response
Happy to hear that. Thanks!
Great podcast player

I may be missing it the setting but if there isn’t one, I’d like the option for continuous play of a podcast without having to use the queue to select the next few down the list. Ty!
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. There is indeed the continues playback option for the playlists (check the toggle in playlist settings). For feed the option will come soon.
