Common functionalities of a podcast player are well supported:

• Search, discover and subscribe to podcasts, by key words, simple RSS URLs, or OPML files.
• Download, stream or queue episodes, and enjoy them the way you like with adjustable playback speeds.
• Save effort, battery power and mobile data usage with powerful automation controls for downloading episodes.
• If the feed contains no media (plain RSS feed), Text-to-Speech engine is used to play the text.
• Listening progress can be instantly synced through a NextCloud server or across devices in the same wifi network without a server.

So whats special with this podcast app among the many?

Well, aside from doing the above well, the following make it stand out:

1. Its open sourced, free to use and free of ads, free as in beer and free as in speech!
