Like a comfy pair of slippers Have tried several players when upgrading my phone but always a relief to come back to podkicker. Intuitive and easy to understand, especially when driving and plugged in to the sound system.

Great App - Would love Lock Screen Controls Great App, everything works well. The only feature I would like to have is the lock screen controls. When I need to pause the podcast I can't do it from the lock screen.

My subscriptions This looks like the sort of podcast app I've been looking for BUT.. where are my subscribed podcasts listed? Sure I can do a manual search for them but what about ones I forget about. Surely a page with list of subscriptions would be considered essential??

THE Go to player! I've gone through..?..I don't know how many phones over the years, but I'm always packing the Podkicker 😉 Easy. Efficient. Excellent.

Efficient! App has a small footprint, yet does all that I want it to. So rare in Android apps!

Pretty Good The app works great but lack of a home screen widget and a now playing screen within the app means I can't use it.
Tried other players and came back to Podkicker. Clean, light and concise. Easy to navigate.
The best This is, ladies and gentlemen, the best and only way to listen to podcasts
Stopped working Have been using and loving this app for ages and I have the most recent version of Podkicker, but my phone just updated to Marshmallow and now nothing plays. I just get a "no wifi" error message instead of hearing any of the hundreds of podcasts I've downloaded.
Problem with calls and microphone When i accept a call or turn on the microphone to my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone the podcast continues to play interrupting the call. With my Galaxy S4 I did not have this problem now I'm thinking about changing podcast applications.
By far the best podcast app out there but... ...the automation for refreshing podcasts doesn't work and it would be nice to be able to save the downloaded podcast episodes to SD card. They are the only complaints I have. I've tested a *lot* of podcast apps and this one is the best by far.
Works half the time Kind of a clunky design. Can't refresh all podcasts at once, must do each one at a time. Also when playing videos it will stop with the message "unsupported media format." But they play fine when re-opened.
Storage hog No matter what I do or how many podcasts I erase, this this ends up eating gigs and gigs of space and I don't know why. I have it set to auto erase when I finish but every week it's the same issue.
Simple UI; It's got what I need Got it to play Giantbomb's premium (authenticated) feed: settings for a podcast lets you toggle on password and you enter username and password instead of trying to encode them in the URL. The UI is more streamlined than my previous favourite (Podcast Addict). Not sure it's better yet, but so far so good. Ads are not near playback controls. Uses the fewest permissions possible! Great app.
I paid for pro version and free is better. Why Isn't pro usually better? Also I cannot find my purchase and use pro again UPDATE it is now oct 11 2016 and i have no idea how to retreive that pro membership i once paid for can somebody please shed some light on this?
Liked until... I was planning on rating 5 stars and raving about this app,but then election season hit and i was appalled to hear a hillary Clinton ad for the first 30 seconds of my podcasts. Im not taking a side politically either way at all. Truthfully,I'm a convicted felon and can't vote so i don't care.but i don't like Surprise political ads of any kind in my products. I am deleting and forgetting this app. Im very disgusted.
Recent update ruined app Used to be fantastic but the recent update RUINED podkicker! All my downloads are gone, organization is confusing...terrible...I'm looking for a new app!
Simply full-featured It has everything I want and there was no "figuring it out" phase. Why is Stitcher so complicated?
Use to be great This app used to be amazing but after the update my podcasts now become corrupted and will speed up like they're being fast-forwarded
This is great I use this app exclusively for all of my podcasts. This would be a five star review, however, there's no way to enter a new password for my password-protected podcasts. If a podcast updates their password for premium content, I have to unsubscribe, then re-subscribe to enter the new password. Fix that, and it's perfect.
Amazing! Keep coming back to this Player. Intuitive, Compact, and Extensive list of podcasts. You can't find a better player period. Ads are minimal and unobtrusive. Well done sirs, well done!
Chromecast is broken When I cast it keeps playing through the phone speakers. Chromecast says "no media selected" inside the app. Great app other than that.
Used to work perfectly. Not any more Now download speeds are painfully slow. Constantly errors out on downloads.
Using for years/recent issues Since the marshmallow update my podcasts have been skipping backwards....10-15 seconds...throughout the entire episode. Super annoying. Please fix.
Freezing after recent update I have been using this for years and it has been great but it has been freezing after the recent update.
Only plays 5 mins or so and stops It's seems since the last andriod update podkicker only plays for about 5 mins and then stops.
Used this for years and it was fine. Now it rarely saves the position when interrupted by text messages or calls.
Very good. Play button is sometimes in the wrong state showing a pause Button instead of play.
weird behaviour from time to time changes half my subscriptions to the same random podcast, but as it keeps the automatic actions for the feed it starts downloading all of the episodes. very annoying.
Podcast always jumping The podcast always jump back and forwards, making it impossible to listen.
No more espn!!!!! All my favorite podcasts were from espn and now they won't play or download!! No explanation either! Simply awful!
Getting better all the time Very simple and easy to use. I would give it 5 stars if storage limit worked.
Random stops. Stops playing podcasts every other time. Cannot figure out why.
Save to sd card and sound equalizer would be nice but I always go back to this app if I try any other!
Great Awesome app used it everyday for a couple of years, the only thing I don't like is the "find episodes" feature because it does not work.
Playlist stops playing and does not move onto the next track Playlist stops playing and does not move onto the next track
Best podcast app so far I tried a few others, but finally always end up with this old fella.
