Came here to replace Google Podcasts. I love that I still have a queue and that I can get a list of recent episodes within X days, as well as the option to have a "favorites" list that stay when I relisten (I have a few "comfort" episodes I listen to over and over so it's really nice). Speed controls are very granulated which is awesome. The ads for the free version are in an unobtrusive banner at the bottom not in my face. I do wish the free one still had automatic downloads at time released.

Had to switch from the Google podcast app and was looking for something that integrated with Android Auto. The app is easy to use, but I miss being able to rearrange my downloaded programs to suit my listening preferences. The option may exist, but it is not intuitive or easy to do. Update - still find this app suits my needs, but do not like the fact that it will continue to be active in the background after I close it. Don't like the impact that it has on my battery life.

You can stop the player at any time by pressing on the player notification 'x' button. But having the notification open has no effect on the battery usage as the app isn't doing anything. The only battery usage comes from the Google player engine which is about 3% per listening hour

Hands down the best podcast app for the serious podcast listener imo. Well supported & maintained. Huge, current selection. Superior download, queue, playlist, category, and playback management. There is only one playlist, which greatly simplifies things for those who like to keep podcasts around for repeated plays, and for music podcast fans. Could you add custom settings for categories? I'd like to be able to have music podcasts stay on playlist after play; retention of downloads; etc.
