Queue is the simplest podcast app out there. New episodes from your subscriptions automatically appear in one simple list, your Queue. From here you can either play them, or archive them. When you open an episode, you see the title and show notes right away, and you can also play the episode from here. We also have full support for chapters and chapter artwork, and we even detect timestamps in the episode show notes and turn them into interactive chapters. The entire app was custom designed to offer you the simplest possible podcast experience, and it's full of beautiful little touches and fun details. I've spent month designing and building Queue for you, and I have some really cool ideas for it. I can't wait to hear what you think! - Eike Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
Reeder. and Queue both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Queue's written reviews are positive against 53% of Reeder.'s. Queue also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Reeder.'s advantage is ratings volume (863 vs 86) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
