amazing app with a lot of feautres. I tried many other apps and they don't even come close to this one. You can find all the podcasts you want, organise them the way you want, order the episodes in the podcast the way you want, and prepare your downloads as you like. All of it for free! The only downside is that I want to contribute but the subscription is too high and I am sadly stuck between not paying anything or paying a lot. I'll try to find another way to support this amazing work, though!

Was the best podcast app for years, but after the last update it got very annoying ads.. you're destroying your perfect app for me and everyone else.. get another solution. Sorry but I don't get a monthly subscription... And how's idea was it to place a banner at the bottom of the main menu.. I guess that you accidentally click on it.. that a no-go for me! Also moving ads are very distracting.. I would pay a small one time fee to get rid of all ads, but not a monthly subscription.. bye

Hi Vincent - We hear you! You can now enjoy an ads-free experience at a more affordable price. For more info, simply tap on the X button beside the banner ads (found below the app's screen). Happy podcasting!

Used to work just fine for the last few years, but since 2 or 3 Months the App completely refuses to start playing downloaded episodes without having a stable internet connection and therefore no longer fullfils the purpose of an "Offline Podcast App". Reinstalling didn't change anything, so I guess its time to find a new one. My guess would be, that this was purposefully implemented by the developers as reaction to the ads failing to load. But either way, the App has practically become unusable
