One caveat
NicoleAdele
I love love this podcast app, especially the way it looks but one thing I don’t like is, while I’m at work I have to have my phone on airplane mode while listening to podcasts, and while it will let me look at the downloaded podcasts list, it won’t let me look at the podcasts individually, like when you look at a podcast and choose to download episodes. It’s not a big thing but I would like it if I could look at those offline instead of getting an error. You guys are doing great!!
I Want to Love This

If you don’t have a live data connection every time you open the app, no podcast thumbnails, titles or descriptions display, making navigation impossible. Are you on a plane? Well, this app is useless. I really hope this bug is fixed, I want to change my review.
Enjoying app

I really enjoy your app, more so than the “Podcast” app for my IPhone. I have only one issue; certain Podcasts I’m subscribed to and have signed up as a Patreon Donor have been provided special RSS Link to add for premium audio content only for donors. I’m not able to paste in the code given on my various podcast page, to retrieve the certain audio feeds. Any suggestions???
Well done!

Very well done. Simple, clean and works. Recommended and it seems to be working great. Keep it simple.
Finally! My long search is over.

Ever since iOS 11 completely crapped out its horrible new native podcast app, I’ve been looking for a new one. I tried all of the top ones including, even paying $5 for one. They were all really annoying. Why is it so difficult to make a simple and easy UX for a podcast app? This one wins. It’s simple while still being snazzy and sleek. I definitely recommend it.
Bad playlist functionality
Paulgn88
After reading what some of the other reviewers wrote, I was really hoping this would be the one that would let me delete the Apple podcast app. The interface is great, but the playlist functionality doesn’t work, or only works sometimes. You’ll add a podcast to your playlist, click on the queue, and it’s nowhere to be found. If you like to listen to episodes one at a time, without an ongoing queue, or if you like to binge-listen to multiple episodes of a show at once, then this is the podcast app for you. However, if you’re like me and want to add episodes from your feed to your queue, then back to Apple podcasts it is.
Awesome so far

Hope this app keeps downloading the latest episodes from my favourite podcasts ... please keep being awesome.
So much better

I subscribe and listen to so many podcasts and have found it frustrating that other apps don’t (at least not intuitively) allow me to curate my long commute ahead of time. I love how easy Castbox makes it to curate and reorder my playlist, and how subscribing doesn’t mean auto-downloads by default, just notifications (in the form of a little red number-of-new-episodes on the podcast icon). The one thing I don’t like is minor - it’s confusing to me that the undownloaded, un-added-to-playlist icons are red, and when I click to download/add to playlist, they turn gray. I feel like it should be the other way around. Gray to me indicates “done” or “unavailable” and even after a couple of weeks using the podcast I still am sometimes confused by the fact that it’s gray that means “ready to go.”
