So much better – Podcast App & Player - Castbox Review

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.”
