This Podcast is the Best Yet

I’m not sure how to articulate why this free podcast player is the best but the most relevant to me is to contrast this player with the HORRIBLY designed iOS player. This player’s approach to listening to podcasts is 100% opposite of iOS so if you like iOS you may not like this one. This player is elegant in its simplicity. It’s powerful in its design allowing you to fully customize EVERYTHING with your subscriptions, either individually or globally. While listening to a podcast you can customizable on the fly as you’re listening. It has easy to FIND and understand tools/settings. So far, I’m LOVING this free podcast player - it finds ALL available podcasts and allows maximum freedom to play now, play later, timer, download, assemble playlists, etc.

Perfect For Me

I have a very specific way I like to listen to my podcasts. I am cheap and have very little free data streaming on my phone plan. I download episodes at home when connected to WiFi. I listen to them in my car while driving. Playapod makes this method a breeze. It’s easy to tap on my “downloaded” button, then easily pick the episode I want to listen to. It is the perfect app for podcasts for me.

Needs to louder volume

I love the fact that this app uses the free and open podcast index however it’s missing many features I’m used to coming from pocketcast. It needs the ability to double the volume of the audio on all the podcasts. Volume normalization needs to be added. Also it would be nice if I could mark some podcasts to be placed at the top of the queue. Speaking of queues the app at times looses its queue especially when I reorganize my playlist. I don’t care about playlists or clips or sharing I just want what’s playing next to be in a certain order and the episodes loud enough to hear them in a noisy room.
