Love it
A tried so many other apps before this one and none of them did everything I needed. This one is perfect. I can save specific podcasts. I can have episodes automatically download. I can change the order I want to listen to them in that automatically go to the next podcast after the last one. I have no issue listening in the car via my Bluetooth and controlling it with my car or with my phone or with my watch. Every other app I used didn’t work for at least one of these things. As the price was minimal, I thought I would give it a go and I have never regretted it

Flexible settings
Downcast is an easy to use player. I like the ease of making playlists and the flexible sorts for each list. It’s also easy to search or manually add podcasts. And when I’ve contacted developer with a problem, they responded quickly.
Needs better iOS 27 support
I love downcast for years. Apple has slowly copied the best features. It works great overall and is straight forward to use.
Only issue is iOS 27 support . If works but it seems like background automatic downloads is not working correctly on iOS 27. I’m using iPhone 17 Pm , and public release of iOS. Please patch it

Still the best!
This application has consistently performed for many years and provides everything you need in a podcast application without a lot of bloat.
It’s ok
I’ve been having issues with overcast so I downloaded this one.
It works but it doesn’t have some functionality I like.
You have to lock episodes you want to keep.
You can’t make a playlist & just add individual episodes / you have to add all the episodes for a podcast. (So a topical list like AI doesn’t work).
It doesn’t lock up that much.
I hate the interface - when you are listening to a podcast the big Forward button near play skips to the next episode. To just skip forward in that episode you use the tiny forward button at the top. Not intuitive.
