It's a decent alternative to Google podcasts. A couple of things I wish they would change: 1. if you want to autoplay from oldest to newest, you have to sort them first, oldest to newest. So if you want to see what the newest episode is about you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. 2. The the played episodes are not always marked as played. It's very random. I can open my app and some episodes that I've listened to are marked played and some are not.

I love Podbean. It is so much better than my previous podcast app. I love my podcasts, but they take up quite a lot of space on my phone. This gives me the option to store them on my memory card instead. It downloads my subscribed podcasts for me, which the previous one didn't, it's easy to use and it looks good. 😄 Edit: I've recently returned to Podbean from another app but I am having a problem with it. It takes multiple attempts to add a new podcast to my playlist and I don't know why.

I used this a while ago and recently tried again. I don't like auto downloading episodes, but rather stream as I go. I listen in the car mostly, so integrating with Android auto is essential. On Android auto, it doesn't remember what you're listening to, so you have to manually go through what you're following and remember the episode and manually continue it again. I couldn't see a way to easily show episodes recently released, or if there is, I couldn't find it.
