it can be a basic pidcasts player now. for some pidcasts, their are covers and shownotes information contained in the audio file, can be the next feature on the to do list :)
It is light and simple - everything I needed.
Very good basic lite podcast player. Has all podcast that I want.
I can't open any link in my browser and when I want to open the link lucidpod will open instead even when I enter manually a webpage address on my browser search bar it will open a broken link in lucidpod I don't want to permanently delete this app I'm using it but I want my browsing back pls fix this.
Minimal, lightweight. This is one of the best podcast apps I've ever used. However I would love the option to pause the active downloads. Also lock screen controls is a must for the player, please add this feature.
Love the elegant simplicity. Not over done. Good interpretation of the material design ethos. Needs ompl import because many people have large podcast lists, and some unusual podcasts for various reasons don't show up in iTunes searches. Need to be able to paste RSS address for podcasts too. When these are added, you definitely get 5 stars. Great start guys.
