User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★A very accessible app
I actually didn’t think this app was around anymore. I took a chance and re-downloaded it because the Apple podcasts app is OK, but not nearly as accessible as this one. Thank you for keeping it around. I do appreciate it.
★★★★★Can be beat for the price!

I’ve kept them as well as Overcast, and equally solid equivalent.
