AntennaPod Customer Insights

1. In fact it can never be, it is open source! There are some other things about how it behaves but one thing I just learned is that downloading automatically puts it in the queue, you don't have to do that separatelyIt keeps freezing up and not responding unless I force-close/kill the app from "app info," just closing the window or anything else doesn't make it start working again.

2. You should be able to drag an episode up and down the list, like you can in lots of other apps, vs "move to top" repeatedly.I was looking for a podcast app after being severely disappointed with Google podcasts and other Android podcast apps.

3. None of the other podcast apps I tried has a speed control.Well, I *thought* I finally found the podcast player to beat all but it has issues.

4. I have it set to continuous play, thinking that that means if I start with podcast episode #1, it should then go to 2 after 1 is finished and just keep going on up the list.

5. Thanks for a great app and keep up the great work!I love this podcast app.

6. There's a single caveat...even though both global and individual podcast settings are set to never autodelete, downloaded podcasts often disappear with no warning.

7. I switched from PocketCasts (which took 5 minutes and was very straight forward) because I love open source and wanted to support this great project.

8. Otherwise, it works greatGenerally a good podcast app after using it for just over a day.

9. Other than that, I wish you could make playlists and that it was easier/more straightforward to change the order of your queue.

10. The chapters now appear as a button on the main page of the running podcast.

11. Really frustrating as a new user.Been using this app to listen to podcasts of favorite radio shows for months now.
