Smart Listening, No Clutter.

Updates shows you the next episode of every podcast you follow. No inbox, no backlog, no clutter. News shows start with their latest episode and series with the next one you haven’t heard. Prefer it the other way? Pick per podcast. And when you want to plan ahead, line up a few episodes in the queue.

Perfect

This is the best podcast player for me. I tried all the big ones and nothing comes close in convenience. The main screen showing next episode to play for each podcast is pure genius. The developer is very responsive, and the app is being actively worked on and improved.
