Satchel

I appreciate being able to find a few podcasts that I really love that are not available on Google Play. My frustration with the app comes from the playback features. Anytime my phone rings and interrupts the show listening to, I have to stop what I'm doing and reopen the app, wait for it to load, and then find where I was in the show.

I love that Satchel gives me continual access to Pass the Mic, NPR, my favorite thinkers, etc. However, one frustration is that other apps interfere with playback (i.e. when I get a call it pauses the podcast and when I press play to go back to it, the sound is muted but there's no "un-mute" button). Also, when I connect to my Sharkk speaker it plays the podcast on "fast forward" (like Alvin and the Chipmunks). Other than that I've enjoyed having all these podcasts organized easily at my fingertips.

5 stars for having Welcome to Night Vale. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD

Beautiful app. Easy to use and intuitive interface. It's just slow. It takes too long to load and each page greets me with a spinning wheel. Sadly it will also stop randomly when I try to use it in the background with any other app, including GPS. I love the app and am looking forward to the day when these issues are resolved.

Switched from podcast addict because it had playback issues, can't wait until I can queue up a days worth of podcasty goodness. Oh, and a widget would be awesome.

Does not play podcasts in the background while you're using other apps. Constantly crashing and I have to keep restarting. So annoying! =(

App is decent with a good interface but still can't use as regular podcast client as no Google Cast support 8 months after reply from dev saying would be looked into.

I was able to listen 1 podcast, after that I haven't been able to get to my subscribtions page. All I get is the loading circle. Phone restart didn't help. If I could actually listen some podcasts I might like this app.

Easy to use, great organization, categorized by topics for ready selection and great local content

It is a very user friendly app and simple to use. Excellent job so far.

No que list, constantly crashes, doesn't play in background of many other apps and currently not loading any of my podcasts, subscriptions or search.

Awesome Podcast search engine!

It's lit yo

So great

Massive potential here! The type of podcast app I've been looking for!

Listened to TMS and heard about the app, downloaded it and love it. Well done.

Works well

I've been using beyond pod for years but for the last year or more it has been very glitchy. This app was refreshing and I love that I was able to find local podcasts that I didn't know existed. The app is user-friendly. It ran a little slow when searching for new podcasts to add to my list. Still, it is a very smooth and pleasant user experience.

It seems like a good app. However, it's difficult to figure out how to download the podcasts. I may be the only person having trouble figuring this out. The podcast catcher I'm currently using has a button for each individual episode I desire to download and they all go to a download folder that I can easily access and listen to downloaded episodes in the future. If the download feature worked similar to that I would drop my current catcher I'm a heartbeat for this app. Everything else seems very clean.

Proposals for future improvements: - Possibility to move the app to the SD card instead of the phone itself - Possiblity to store by default the downloaded podcasts to the SD card instead of the phone itself

Clean simple straight forward app. Great for podcasts

I liked this app alot for about a week but for some reason it's crashing whenever I look for podcasts outside of The Country Squire (which I love).

This app has never worked. I only have one podcast loaded on it and it crashes every time I tell it to play.

This app has been great, but I just got the most recent update, and it keeps crashing on my Moto X now within 10 seconds of hitting play on a downloaded episode. Please fix. Thanks!

Not bad podcast app, but needs Chromecast support to replace my current favourite.

You guys have taken podcast listening to a new level! What a great way to make it easy for listeners to support the show. Thank you!

Great podcasting app, use it all the time!

This podcast player works great and you can finally support your favorite podcasters right from the app. It's a sleek, simple layout so I can see all my podcasts. Can't wait to see what the developers do with it in the future.

Most Android podcast apps are quite terrible. This one is an exception. If you like simplicity and something that just works, this is your app. Bring nitpicky, the one thing I would add if the ability to create playlists. I like to podcast while I'm driving and don't want to have to open the app to find the next podcast I want to listen to after one is done. Other than that, I love that I can even find some more obscure podcasts that other apps have trouble finding. Satchel is on the right track!

A great podcast app with huge potential for the future. I personally know the developer of this app who has worked tirelessly on it thus far and is continuously looking for ways to evolve and improve it. As it stands it's a stable, feature-rich app with a nice user interface. The future is very bright for this one!

This app was recommended by GOL and I was excited to download it because the other Android apps I've tried were cumbersome. This one is not! So easy and intuitive. Hoping for more easy to use features to be added soon. I'm a fan of this app.

The fellas at Flash and Arrow TV Talk brought me to this App. Easy to use and aesthetically pleasing!

Everything looks straightforward and intuitive with the bonus functionality of being able to support podcasters, but I need this to have a home screen widget for me to give it daily use.

I've only just downloaded this app and already love it! The interface is simple and intuative, and the search feature found my favorite podcasts with no issue. Does not seem to have a lot of advanced features, most of which I don't use anyway. Just the right tool for the job.

I've been using one app since I started listening to podcasts. Lately I've been trying others. Heard about this one from the Reformed Pub. Great little app.

It has always irritated me that there was not an app that was clean, simple, and didn't degrade the audio quality of my favorite podcasts. The wait is finally over. Keep up the great work guys!

Just the beginning but it's great to see a podcast player that benefits the podcaster and listener at every level

It is a very intuitive design. My new favorite podcast app and it is only in beta.

It is a very user friendly app and simple to use. Excellent job so far.

Give me moar!!
