Feature rich and does the job. Now that Google has abandoned its podcast app (damn you Google!), I have found this to be the best substitute. Only problem I have is it drains my battery even when I am not using it. Background seems to run continuously after I listen either on headphones or via Android Auto. I have to force quit it to stop the drain.

I bought this app because it allowed me to play podcasts easily, and without ads cluttering up the interphase. Now "sponsored" podcasts are listed when starting the app and are listed in my list of podcasts. I'd be fine if this was a free product, the developers need to get paid. But this was a purchased. Would not purchase again and would encourage others to not purchase either.
