Great for privacy, but has annoying UI. Recent update really frustrating. Can be unstable
Pros: free but still private; more stable than Overcast when subscribed to large numbers of podcasts; large catalog, including the ability to browse international podcasts
Cons: occasionally freezes, crashes, and/or skips backwards by 30 seconds. The UI is unnecessarily complicated and queuing up past episodes is really time consuming. The most recent update changed the default settings and deleted a bunch of my downloads. The episodes are gone from the queue so it’s going to take forever to even figure out which ones are missing.
A good option if you value privacy, want to find podcasts in multiple languages, or prefer casual, episodic podcasts. If you prefer binging serial podcasts, the UI is really annoying.

too confusing
I have the paid version and have had this for years. I find myself not using it because it is just too confusing and not intuitive and it takes up a lot of memory and I still don’t know how to delete certain things so that it doesn’t take up so much space.
Best Podcast App
This podcast app is my favorite.
Joe the developer did an amazing job. I noticed that there an a really. Life major update recently which was great.
I have been happily using this app for many many years on my iPhone and iPad. I love the swipe gestures and the user interface is nice. Swipe left or right to skip ahead or back. Swipe up and to the right to mark as played or draw an L to do the Leo skipping 2 minutes.
Double tap to pause or play. I also love the user interface. I have tried many other podcast apps but prefer this one.
This app can play video and audio podcasts.

Decade on still the best podcast app!
I have been using iCatcher for a decade. It’s miles above Apples podcast app and any other podcast app I’ve tried. I can’t imagine using anything else.
Horribly glitchy
I’ve used this app for years if not decades. It has always been really free from glitches and stalls. Now it’s constant. What’s up??!!!!! What did you do to ruin the clean operation. Recent update made it no better. Knock it off and put it back the way it was. Been considering switching to Spotify and you’re making that decision more likely. I’ll give a bit just because I’ve used it for sooooo long. But not being useable is a deal breaker.
