Should bring it up to current Android SDK.
This is a pretty good pod catcher, but causes weird screen issues (blinking and black screen after wake up) and CPU revving ("hot pocket ") when running on Marshmallow.
Works very well. Gpodder sync is seamless.
If you are using gPodder, this is the simpler podcast app you can find. Gets the job done and that is all I need. I cant get what are the differences with the free version, but I paid anyway.
I only wish there was an easier way to remove lots of items from my queue.
Used to be 5 stars but lately it takes forever to load every time I open the app. Please fix the redraw times.
My requirements: 1. add subscriptions 2. auto download 3. auto enqueue 4. auto dequeue/delete once played 5. simple interface I tried BeyondPod, Listen, AntennaPod, Podcast Addict, PodKicker; none seemed quite right, were overly-complex, or not auto enough. Features I really like about Listen Up are resume playback of any of the items, and the 30 sec skip. The only thing that I miss from some of the other podcatchers is variable play speed.
Best replacement for Listen that I've found. I do have a few suggestions/questions: 1 -- When playing an episode put the control panel (e.g. the play, fastforward, etc. buttons) at the bottom. I have to back out a few levels to find them. 2 -- Is there a panel that shows the most recent episodes across all podcasts? 3 -- It should pause when an event notification (e.g. driving directions) is being played. Right now the notification just mixes in.
..since the demise of Google listen I have been searching for an app that works as well. Finally and so simple if you cannot find the podcast your looking for simply paste rss feed address into search and it finds you are subscribed.
Best podcast player out there. The only thing I would like to see being implemented in the app is to have the possibility to change text size. Perhaps the player buttons could be tweaked a bit, they're not that good looking, but they work flawless! Thanks for a great app. Update: what have you done? It can't even update the feeds anymore!!
