Just don’t.

Try getting it to play the latest downloaded next. Try getting it to download a podcast automatically for that matter. Call me old fashioned, but these are basic functions. Avoid.

Good podcast app!

No ads, in VALUE FOR VALUE shows!
Ads are in some podcasts. I enjoy my experience with this app.

Does Not Bug Me to Review

This app respects the user by disabling the periodic “Review Me” notices. It supports everything I need of new podcast standards.

Great podcast app with no ads!

It’s so nice to see a podcast app with no ads integrated (other than any in a podcast itself- which the app can’t control anyway).
Great UI design that’s a delight to use!
