User reviews

Fantastic with some small bugs

I love that I can manage all my podcast subscriptions on my own hardware and that this client allows me to interact with it from anywhere! I have noticed a bug where it seems to forget where you left off on an episode which is a bit annoying but aside from that it’s perfect

Beyond All Expectations

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such an amazing experience from a self hosted tool. Thank you for your service.
