Podcast Addict - Donate for Android
Podcast Addict is my favorite (and most-used) app, by far! It makes my commute to work so much more enjoyable. The developer, Xavier, is very responsive. He worked with me to resolve a metadata issue with my in-car bluetooth (which was actually caused by a bug in Android OS). I purchased the Donate app today. Thanks for creating such a useful app!
Love the Podcast Addict app to tears. As I was looking through it I realized I could make those go away with the donation app. Totally worth it to me. The hours I've poured into Podcast Addict and how intuitive it's been through the whole time has more than earned that donation from me. It's a well-made app (thanks, by the way, for preserving SD card support), and if you love something, you should support the creators.
This is one of, if not the most well designed and customizable podcasts apps out there. I was a fan of pocket casts for a long time but with all of these features making the decision to switch was easy. The free version offers leaps and bounds more than most apps. Highly recommend.
This is the best podcast app for sure! Only one issue... I had to make some "adjustments" on my OnePlus x and am now running lineage 14.1, and I can't get the app to install properly... It won't open. (Thus how I know the other apps don't compare.)
Definitely a great app, but I just wish you could connect to Google plus. Yes, you can back up files, but as my subscriptions to each podcast go up up in episodes and can't delete the the episodes from the files for good I have to redo my subscription podcasts every so often for getting some of my space back. That's why I wish I could connect to Google plus.
This app is solid. When it adds a new podcast to your list automatically it adds it to the bottom of the list. If you are asking multiple episodes from one podcast it puts them in order from oldest to newest so it plays then in order. Pretty great. I overrode the default so when a new episode download it automatically adds to the playlist. Moving a podcast on the playlist is stupid easy! Great app! Donate and support the dev!
I love this app and wanted to purchase the donate version but every time I tried to pay it would say that the app had been installed but then wouldn't actually show up on my device. Edit--I'm foolish and should read the directions first. Appreciate the clarification Xavier. Updated to 5-stars
Good app and good developer, so I decided to pay for it. The developer has always been quick at responding to emails and comments, even when I was being an idiot and blasting him for not adding functions that were obviously there in the app. Most podcasts download quickly, but some are slow (I'm looking at you Joe Rogan Podcast). I'm pretty sure the lag is coming from the source, not the app. Keep up the good work.
First review. Looked around for a long time for a good podcast player. This works well and has lots of functions. Only complaint is that Bluetooth remote doesn't work for me when using my car radio or work headphones. Worked with Podcast Player, but not on this one. Everything else is really great.
I've not had a single problem in the 2+ years I started using this app. It's a bit clunky to set up but that individualizes each podcast to my tastes. I have no problem paying for some apps, as I feel their creators should be paid for their creativity & work. It's the right thing to do.
Fantastic interface very covenient. No problems, but I can think lf improvements. An account system that would let you sync which podcasts you are subscribed to and which episodes you've already listened to across devices would be great. Also a more intuitive queue system would be nice sometimes I think ive set up a Playlist from my downloaded episodes but after i finish something it will start streaming a new episode. This is really is a fantadtic app though.
Wow! A great product with UNBELIEVABLY good support. Just a few days ago I mentioned a few problems with 'casting' material to things like Chromecast and Google Home devices. Today I find that ALL of it is fixed. And it looks like it was fixed almost within hours of my post! I would rate this a ten, but the scale only goes to five. Outstanding!
Incredible software with a total amount of 0 bugs or crashes after over a year of daily use. A good search system and a lot of configuration available to really make the app behave like you want it to if the other wise great default behaviours don't exactly fit your listening habits. Overall a top notch app. The ads weren't even that big of a deal on the free version, I bought it to support the developer for his great work.
Had this for years and love it. However I'm struggling to get the rss feeds to work. It keeps saying broke rss feed at line 1 column 1025 not well formed. But the YouTube video works so I'm confused. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
One of the Bets Apps in town, Useful, Efficient, (every things has been well thought out.) Cannot live without this!! Only glitch is that there is no way to buy the APP. Please add a paid version , This app is worth every cent. Thank you for developing such an awesome app. Great response too, Cheers
This is absolutely the most used app on my Google Play XL. I definitely felt that supporting the author by removing the ad banners was well worth it. Hopefully one day it will have Cloud support for playlists, downloads, etcetera but that doesn't stop this from being the best podcast app on the market.
It's a great app, and I use it all the time. One complaint is if you want to search for podcasts it is kind of hard with its three word limit. When you type Chinese three words are a lot, and it's almost impossible to discover new podcast by typing in search terms.
I am having issues with a frozen play notification on my oneplus 5. Also, when i remove the headphone jack, intead of stopping, the playback continues thorugh the phone's speaker. Lead to some embarrassing situations. edit: looks like it is due to an error on the oneplus 5 os. Back to 5 stars.
Happy to support this good app I've used for a while. However, since upgrading to a Galaxy S7 Edge this has been a massive battery drain. Hoping going ad free will help otherwise it's so bad will need to uninstall!
I have been using Podcast Addict every day for several years and love it. It's easy to use and reliable for keeping up with all of the podcasts I listen to. I had some problems migrating to a new phone a few months ago, but Xavier replied promptly to my support request and straightened it out for me. I have now upgraded to the ad-free version.
Why are you sitting here still reading reviews instead of tossing a few beans toward a person that developed a well thought out podcast player, steamer, downloader, organizer, the list goes on. This version is even considerate towards rooting individuals that like to hop around on OSs. Built-in backup systems. All hail podcast addict.
This app was great until recently. Now, every 5 minutes or so, podcasts randomly stop with an "internal media error" on Nexus 6P Update: 6 months later and no fix. Changed to 1 star
It's a great podcast listening app! My only complaint is that I can't sort podcasts individually. This is a pain, because I'm often up to date on many podcasts, but catching up on new podcasts I just discovered.
Terrific app, tons of features and able to configure as you like. Can add bookmarks (favorite feature! So I can bookmark points I want to remember and go back to review later or make notes on later when I'm not driving), adjust playback speed, set how long you want the ff and rewind buttons to take you. Great search to find new podcasts or episodes. Plus a way for users to suggest and vote on new features they want. More than worth a few dollars. Thanks for a great app!
Best podcast player out there. Has pretty much every feature you could ever want and then some. I've tried several others like Pocket Cast etc, but I always come back to Podcast Addict.
This app has been the most used thing on my phone outside of a web browser for the past couple of years. It's never been less than absolutely excellent in all things. The sleep timer has been particularly useful, and helps me deal with a sleeping problem. In the future, it would be lovely to also have an alarm clock feature that turns on podcasts/radio in the morning so it can help me wake up too!
Best podcast app on Android period... I've used the free version of this app for over a year and anytime I'm asked what the best podcast app is this is always the go-to answer. Almost feel guilty for using the free version so long but the ads are so non-evasive I don't even think about it. ???? Well done, thank you for the great app!
I use this app so much I felt compelled to donate (even though I didn't mind the little banner ads). I've never had any technical issues on my HTC phone and I love the layout and features. I saw a few negative reviews complaining that the interface wasn't instantly intuitive. How spoiled we've become! I'm glad the app has lots of features, and was more than willing to spend a little time learning how to use them. I hope the developer ignores those lazy-brained haters and keeps up the excellent work!
Had to reinstall it and it then wouldn't download any podcasts. Said I have to give permission to my files which I have done. Also now didnt give option to store data to an SD card. Following my review Xavier sent me an email giving me instructions how to fix the issue and it works well now.
The best podcast app in existence. Multiple tools for sorting and prioritizing podcasts. Very automated so your new podcasts are always cued up and ready to go when you want them. Love the level of customizability so that if a specific feature is annoying you can disable it.
This is my favorite and most used app, it's a hands down the best podcast app I have ever used. Takes a little to get used to but so powerful, configurable, and easy to use. The silence skip, volume boost, and listening speed work so much better than other apps like Audible, YouTube and Overcast by not horribly distorting the audio. This app is worth much more than the donation for me.
I have been using this app for a long time now and always felt a bit guilty because I never bought it. It is a superb product and works beautifully after initial setup. Highly recommended
App suddenly loosing playback progress when unloaded from memory. When resuming the playback shows correct save point for a second but starts a replay from the previous one. Makes me waste time while trying to recap where to resume.
Really well made. Only thing I'm thinking is that the app seems to consume data when I'm listening to an episode even after I downloaded it via WiFi. As I have a small data plan, this is a little concerning. Is this normal?
It seems to work fine. I'm giving it five stars because it's easy to navigate. I'll be taking it for a real spin at work tomorrow. It's worth the 2.99(paltry sum) if I can avoid ads.
ZOMG I feel like I am in a parallel universe. It's Podcast Addict but it's not Podcast Addict. I have been using this app for a number of years now. Paid for other apps as I stupidly thought that if you had to pay then it must be better, I was wrong. This is the definitive Android podcast app bar none. I endlessly recommend this to my colleagues and friends as it's easy to use and very powerful. Having this paid version to remove the ads has been hard for me to get used to as I am so used to seeing the banner. Keep up the good work Xavier.
By far the best podcast app out there. It's frequently updated and delivers all your radio and podcast needs. So good it's the only app I've ever donated to and making me part with money is a difficult thing to do!
Most amazing app. Huge part of my life. Completely bridges the gap between tv/radio/computer to mobile device in terms of audio/video media content. Could not live without it. Bought the paid version to support the developer. The free app is amazing. Go into the settings there's a ton of options! Download podcasts before you wake up! Great app, useful. _Allows you to take control of your media consumption instead of letting advertisers and conglomerate companies decide!
Long time Podcast Addict user, finally had to support the creator. This is the best podcast app I have ever used hands down. So many features for automation it is ridiculous. From over 100 podcasts to finally narrowing down to my favorite podcasts under 30 :). This podcast makes it ever so easy to search and save my favorites onto the sd card!! GOOD JOb Xaver, keep up the good work.

This app is so great I paid for it, and I never pay for apps. The developer is extremely good about responding to bugs that users come across! The library is on par or better than other podcast app options - it has a couple more of my podcast subscriptions that Google Play Music for example. My only complaint is that it lacks an Android Wear app.
