Obnoxious banner ads, requires notifications to be enabled, intrusive data collection. Edit: the developer response below indicates that A) the app doesn't collect user data. This is contradicted by both the Google store page for the app and the privacy policy in the app itself B) the app requires notifications to be enabled to control playback. That sounds like BS to me. I never enable notifications and I've never been unable to control playback on a podcast app.

You don't have to grant the notification permission if you don't want to however you cannot control the playback from the notification or be notified of new content. The data collection you're referring to is just the metadata required by the ads. Again why install an ad supported app and rate it 1 star if you don't want ads???

I was looking for a replacement for BeyondPod. This checks all the boxes and it was easy to move my feeds over. Update: I still really like this app but I've started having a new issue where the audio will stop playing and I have to open the app and press play again. If I have the app open in driving mode, I see the message, "player stopped." I've looked around the message boards but haven't found a solution.

Great for adding and listening to podcasts, but the interface is not intuitive and takes some work to navigate. Edit 7/8/24 - like some other reviews have mentioned, I am encountering an issue where the player will just stop and I will need to reopen it. It can be quite frustrating, especially if I'm not in a position to easily unlock my phone.
