5/5Phenomenal
This is the podcast app I was always after. It’s intuitive, functional, and has no unnecessary feature bloat. Everything I need, and nothing I don’t. Within a week, this entirely replaced Spotify for my podcasts.

4/5Off to a great start
This app is off to the great start! I appreciate the clean layout and intuitive functionality. The only missing features keeping this from being 5 stars for me is the lack of setting episode limits per podcast and skipping intro and outros. Episode limits are a necessity for news podcasts with hourly episodes.

5/5My two podcasts do not appear in search results
Hello. For some reason my two podcasts are not appearing in the search results (Como Pienso Digo and Sin Propaganda). What could be happening? Thanks.

5/5Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
No ads, fast simple interface, it just works. Great job by the dev.

5/5Great simple podcast app
Really enjoy using Podcatcher. I just wish it had simpler, nicer app icons that swapped between light and dark mode
