While I like the variety and the tolerable ads, the app keeps opening even when I don't want it to, despite changing the settings to prevent it from auto launching whenever I get in the car. When it does auto launch, it doesn't start playing the radio station I was listening to most recently, but instead it opens a podcast I finished MONTHS ago. It's especially annoying when I was previously listening to a podcast that's not child-friendly, then my daughter is in the car when it turns o

The app just reacts to the commands it recei6. What you're describing means that your car is automatically sending a play command when your phone connects. The phone is forwarding the command to the app it thinks should handle it and podcast Addict just resumes the current episode.

After trying several different podcast services, this one is by far the best. I love the visual grid of all my podcasts, but I especially love the UI functionality. The back and forward buttons, the thumbs up/ thumbs down ratings, and playback speed are all right there while you're listening. AND the interface works in the car too for easy navigation while driving. There are even custom audio controls. Glad I finally found a non-Spotify podcast service that is so user-friendly.

I have been using Podcast Addict for a little over 6 years now, and loving it. They recently implemented ads, and I wanted to leave a positive review because of how impressed I've been with the ad integration. Most developers implement ads in a way that hinders the use of their app... I've deleted many apps that did this. Podcast Addict showed that this doesn't have to be the case! This app's ads don't get in your way, they don't hide anything, they don't restrict your use of the app.
