But it does what I want, mostly. Primarily that is it keeps my feeds updated and it allows me to create prioritized playlists.

Fairly new to podcasts and Castbox happened to be the first app i tried. Have since briefly explored a few others, like Spotify and Stitcher but am more comfortable with Castbox.

What i like: when browsing/searching, the results are listed, with the sebscribe button able to toggle, so you dont have to go to each program to subscribe, can do in bulk.

Then, i download the shows i want, and it will delete after listening (but thats an option you set). You can set whether and how many new eps will auto download.

I use the free version. The only reason i had to explore others was that some (very few) shows are only avail on other platforms.

Caveat: not a power-user by any means.

PS: what are your favorite podcasts?
