I've been using Podcast Addict for years, and when I tried to switch to AntennaPod, I couldn't figure out how to configure it in such a way that I can listen to the back catalogue of a podcast in chronological order and have the app automatically download a rolling buffer of a small number of episodes. When I looked around online for solutions, I found a forum thread of someone who had the same issue, and the maintainers of the project responded with confusion and dismissal as to why anyone would need that functionality lol. So I'm still on Podcast Addict.
Huh, incidentally, that's one I haven't tried! You may end up swaying me over...
Actually, is it closed-source? That'd be a deal-breaker for me, if so, since I'm not that desperate for such a feature as to lose open-source status.
Yeah, Podcast Addict is proprietary and ad driven, unless you pay. I grabbed a lifetime ad-free upgrade years ago when it was like two bucks.
On some level I agree with you, I generally love open source, and if AntennaPod had the feature I was looking for I would have switched, but I also don't mind paying for software if it's good and reasonably priced.
