Great Podcast player…needs 1.75 speed
Great podcast player, very clear audio and relatively easy to use. It does need a 1.75 speed option.
Never lose a podcast
So much better than the built in one! The playlist is solid. You can reorder it, and it remains and never suddenly disappears or gets out of order. Excellent app.
Only catch is that when adding a bunch of episodes while accessing the podcast programme’s list from the play screen, you have to add them in reverse order and then move them to the end of the playlist (other places where you can add to your playlist functions perfectly)
It would be great if they added a button called ‘add eps for whole series’ (based on the series of the episode you are parked on/tapped last) but hey, if that’s my only wish!!

Great Podcast app
This is a solid and reliable podcast app that I find to be much better/less hassle than any other I’ve used, including Apple’s own. It respects data/privacy, doesn’t try and flog you subscriptions (indeed it is free and relies on donations as far as I can work out), no bloat, hardly ever glitches/crashes even under heavy use & the developer is supportive and responsive to feedback. You can ‘clip’/export segments of podcasts like notes which is fantastic, import/export OPML to backup/transfer your podcasts from/to other podcatchers + all the usual stuff you might hope for: playlists, downloads, search, charts and so on… Give it a try! My only criticism is that it sometimes doesn’t cache thumbnails of downloads when you’ve a lot of them which makes them harder to find offline/it misses new episodes occasionally (at least when you subscribe to lots of different pods!)

difficult to use
So far, when this app works it's great but I can't always get it to work. I want to make clips of podcasts and I was able to do it for a few times. Now it just isn't working for that. And when I try to read the FAQs or the Advanced Tutorial, I get a message saying THIS PAGE IS NOT SECURE, IT MAY BE IMPERSONATING.... and says to close the page. PLEASE FIX THAT SO I CAN USE IT AGAIN!!! Or contact me - there's no way to ask for help as far as I can see.

Hi, no this is definitely not correct. You will get this only once when using the app

Elegantly Simple App
This app takes the best parts of Castro (inbox/queue episode management) and The Podcast App (preview cards) and combines them. It's more visually pleasing than Castro and the UX isn't as busy as The Podcast App. A really well designed app, and it's free to boot.
My favorite podcast app
I’ve tried a lot of podcast apps, and this is the one I keep going back to. Easy to use, and the best feature by far is the ability to save clips from any podcast. 5 stars. ❤️
Only app with a visible playlist
Procast is the only podcast app I could find that let me simply and easily manage my podcast episode playlist. I subscribe to lots of shows but don’t want to listen to every episode. With Procast I check each day to see what’s new and I can decide whether to add that episode to the playlist or not, but that’s not the killer feature! If I find a podcast and want to catch up by listening to old episodes I can easily add them to the playlist, but then more importantly I can see the playlist and edit it directly! So instead of listening to 20 episodes in a row of the same podcast I can drag and drop episodes, mixing them with other shows, to give me some variety. The only missing feature is a history or recently played list. Once you’ve listened to an episode it disappears from your playlist and it can be hard to find it to listen again or share with friends.

Cuts
Love the app. Made a few cuts but they don't show? Any ideas? Thanks
