more I’ve been looking for a podcast player that better meets my needs. I like that I can also import my RSS feeds, & have everything in one place. It offers lots of great features. I appreciate the folders, making it easier to find a particular podcast & the ability to create playlists. The only feature that I hope is added in a future update is the ability to customize folders — create my own or at least be able to change what podcasts are contained in each folder. I’m considering the lifetime upgrade.

I listen mostly to podcasts and recently started to read the news by using RSS. This app combines both in a great way and saves me from having me many other apps to do the same. Easy choice to use this app as it is easy to use and has a clean interface.

The flow and finding my podcast quickly was much better than many other apps I’ve used. Looks good so far. I understand it is more developed with the idea of use while exercising but would love to see a great CarPlay interface. Most podcast apps have very clunky hard to use CarPlay but hope you can make something for that final star. Thanks.

Works so well!!! Wish it had the ability to delete downloaded podcasts after listening to them
