Podax

Looks like nothing has been downloaded, in spite of hitting sync. No downloads screen to check progress, it seems.

It's the old version but I preferred it.

Set up your subscriptions and forget. Been using this for nearly 2 years and love it. Love to support the developer but unfortunately I don't use any of his payment methods. A donate version works be awesome to support him

Unfortunately the synchronisation behaviour on my device is extremely annoying; it repeatedly tries to download the same podcast episodes. Even when I select cancel, it simply retries immediately afterwards. There appears to be no way to turn the synchronisation off but I tried setting it to wifi only to at least temporarily shut it up. This results in repeated download attempts labelled 'null'. Uninstalled.

Tried use this application but I get can't subscrib gpodder podcasts

After using this app ever since Listen stopped working I really hoped this app would mature. But it has Terrible performance issues that affect the entire phone's performance in the background, vital missing options and a heap of annoying bugs.

Buggy garbage.

Long time gpodder user. App syncs with smart phone, Web and with recent updates is remarkable to use. Very well done.

Ever since the slide in menu has been introduced I've been having problems with now playing being stuck on an old podcast and difficulty with the back button quitting from anywhere.

Crashes like a windows 98

Interface is nice and clean. Would be great with automatic feed updating and downloading at set times.

This is a very good podcast client

Found some interesting casts but not many. Also very buggy on my Android. Every time it tries to auto synch it shuts itself down. Fix it?

No way of controlling downloads! Try to play anything and other gives "stopped unexpectedly. Force close message" sounds good but fails to deliver!

On importing my podcast subscriptions, it started downloading them all with no clear way to pause all downloading :(

I have unselected and removed the podcast and even set it to WiFi only download but it's still obstinately running on mobile data. This needs to be fixed immediately!

I was using Google Listen until Google killed it. Looking for a basic replacement that just downloads over wifi and plays podcasts. Podax has 2 features I use that Listen didn't. It has controls on the lock screen to pause and play without having to unlock. It also has an automatic resume when connected to Bluetooth, so that it automatically resumes my podcasts when I get back in my car. I tried beyond pod and others but I like Podax's simple, well laid out interface. It shown a few bugs since I have switched to CM10. On the notification screen it shows a stop button when nothing it playing so it is not possible to resume playing from the notification screen.

Seems to work quite well. I guess you can't complain too much when the app is free. There are some parts that need improving: the times are usually wrong, there's no way to arrange the queue except in release order or manual, you can't set how many previous pods to download per channel.

Really great open source, ad free app! Love it!

Simply works. Comes with the first podcast I wanted -- This American Life -- and it was easy to add others. No ads. Plays stuff. By default only downloads when on wi-fi, but you can make it use your data connection instead. Listening to Marc Maron's WTF right now, no skips no probs.

Intuitive UI and a responsive developer

I'm still getting notification to upgrade to version 7 even though app is fully updated. Be nice if I could choose when it updates, but very good overall.

Ads are on by default, but cab be turned off, podax is now even better than before.

Every time I load settings it crashes.

Cant login

I switched to podax after Google Listen was sunset. This app is great, it has everything I need. Easily would give it 5 stars if it did not crash so frequently.

I really love that I can keep my podcasts even after listening to them. Hate that I can't play partiality downloaded podcasts (my original reason for picking this player). And am mildly annoyed that I can not organize my libraries / playlist. Update: Either due to update, or device upgrade (rooted HTC one) podax now randomly deletes or "forgets" it has already downloaded podcasts. I must remove and redownload to access. Please fix. I would like to stay loyal, but this is TOO MUCH.

Granted, it is a slightly rough-around-the-edges app, and could use some polish, but its simplicity and responsiveness more than make up for it. For those with the "External SD card" problem, just go into a file viewer like ASTRO and move everything under the "com.axelby.podax/files" folder on the internal SD card to the same location on the external SD card (you may have to do this each time you download new podcast episodes). There is still the quirkiness with the app wanting to re-download already downloaded podcasts, but that is a minor annoyance at times. Easily 4 stars - just for the simplicity.

Great app that I've been using for a while now. A couple things are quirky but overall it's great.

Love podax use it all the time. Best podcatcher

Crashes after upgrade. Can't upgrade read only database, according to catlog.

There was a rough patch a couple of revisions ago with a lot of bugs, but since the update that came out around the beginning of this year it is again a terrific, stable, lightweight podcast player/manager. No ads, plays and updates podcasts nicely. I have it set to only download when on wifi (I think that's the default). It does store the podcasts on my external SD card, there may be some confusion because there's a greyed-out preference to change your storage. I'm on Android 4.0 on a fairly budget phone (2yrs old).

New interface makes it even better!
