Pretty good app, makes listening to podcasts on my phone much easier. However it has some annoying bugs, e.g. it fails to delete the media file after listening to it if there no more to listen to. And after new files get downloaded, app starts to play that again. Also, when (rarely) download fails for some file, figuring out how to redownload that is undescribable.

This app is worth every penny. I use it every day. So easy to download and manage all your favorite podcasts and you'll find some new ones too!!

When streaming podcasts it randomly picks other shows to tune into every ten minutes. Get onecast instead. Its free and does what it says it should do
