    Had anyone here switched to this from pocket casts? Anything you miss, did you go back?

      Yup. The UI isn’t quite as nice, and I wish there was a cast button elsewhere than the Play screen.

      Otherwise, I have this weird bug where a podcast will start streaming locally a few minutes after starting playback on a cast target. Cast target continues to play so idk what that’s all about.

    I love AntennaPod! I’ve relied on it for what feels like a few years (has it even been around that long?) and can’t recommend it enough. Just give it time to get used to!

    AntennaPod is great but just…doesn’t work.

    All I need a podcast app to do is to auto download my podcasts so that they’re ready to listen to when I don’t have good service. And I need it to not take up large chunks of storage with several month old shows I never listened to. AntennaPod can’t do it.

    Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.

        I’m “literally” telling you that I can’t. You “clearly” have a blind eye for FOSS.

          I can do it, but you can’t?

          Check the global app settings. Under Network you can limit your total downloads (Automatic Downloads). For example, I have it limited to 10 downloaded at a time. See if that helps you out.

        Works great for me too and has tons of options and flexibility.

        No clue what they’re talking about other than they clearly don’t like FOSS:
        Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.

        For me, I wouldn’t say it’s ugly either, FWIW

          I like the concept of FOSS very much but there’s no denying that it’s often ugly and not user-friendly. This is no exception.

        Yes, I am aware that in order to download automatically that I have to enable auto download. It doesn’t do anything.

    Great app that I recommend. I never listened to podcasts before I discovered the app, so I can’t even compare it to others. It works.
