Other apps might come and go, but AntennaPod is always by your side!

      Auto-downloads work wonderfully here and can even be set per-podcast which is such a nice feature.

      Not saying this to denigrate your experience but to perhaps soften the ‘is horrific’ notion into somewhat more of a ‘does not work for you’ one. Otherwise, I suppose Pocket Casts is also open source nowadays - or has always been and I did not notice? But that was a reasonably good alternative for me as well before I switched to AntennaPod.

        I have similar issues. Guess it’s because I listen to vary long podcasts that I often don’t finish, because there’s a newer episode already. Because of that old episodes will be considered unfinished and block new ones from getting downloaded. Maybe if there download limit is set to e.g. 20 Antenna Pod should delete the oldest episode of the 20 downloaded and download the newest one when it gets released

          Or maybe it should just delete episodes that haven’t been played in a given time

    I use AntennaPod as it’s the best Foss option but it’s very buggy.

        For me it just never shows the correct play time so podcasts will get to the end in app but still have like 10 minutes left to play. Also it has a habit of randomly skipping back 10 seconds every now and then.
