Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful, simple interface
I’ve bumped into issues with other podcast apps where they automatically downloaded shows without me knowing and it would eat up all the space on my phone. Acast has a wonderful interface that makes it easy for me to subscribe and see what new episodes my favorite shows have posted so I can download and listen when I’m ready. I’ve also discovered great new content through Acast!
Favorite pcast'g app but Missing Shows
Only complaint is I have to use a different app for some podcasts that don't seem to be available on acast. But by far my favorite podcasting app - clean, easy to use. All I want to do is to subscribe & listen to specific podcasts that I've already identified. I don't want to browse, don't want to be inundated w/suggestions ... acast is not overbearing in terms of is suggestions etc. Thank [g]od!
Fave player
I have been using this app for two years and it is my favorite! It has a huge library of so many different types of shows. It also has the best organizer of all them. It’s the only one that lets you organize oldest to newest. It also lets you hide episodes you’ve already listened too or started
