I'm kind of new to the podcast world. So I began searching for a platform where I can listen and came across Playapod. Never heard of it before, decided to try it out for a few days. PROS: NO ads! Cross platform synching, user friendly, create playlists & save fave episodes. Adding & unsubscribing is easy! I was able to search & find all my fave podcasts. For older episodes adjust the number (25, 50, 100, etc) in the settings menu. Love it ♥️
I wonder why you guys ain't that popular? This is hands down the best free podcast client I've ever used, period. It does everything right. All you guys need to do is add the feature wherein the app remembers the sort order (ascending or descending) for each podcast subscription and then you guys will rule the roost.
Convenient and free but slow as all get out. It takes FOREVER to download items. And they fail 50% of the time. I think they problem is that they don't have a download queue that makes the items wait until the first one in the queue is done downloading, so instead, if you want to download 5 items then they all download simultaneously, so 5 hours later you have 5 half episodes and then suddenly you have 5 failed downloads. It would work so much better with a queue. Plus, no streaming option???
Latest update seems to make my Huawei P20 Pro grind to a halt when downloading new episodes
Great app. Love the features. Would love for the next update to include a way to download a single episode without subscribing to the podcast.
