This used to be one of the best, if not the best, android apps for podcasts. Unfortunately with the latest update, this is no longer the case. Areas that used to allow customizations no longer do, and have been replaced with unuseful tabs. For example, the Up Next and History buttons, two of the most useful tabs available from the main screen, are now multiple clicks away. The developer of the app confirmed this as intentional in the apps subreddit. Truly awful.

I use this app almost daily. I wish it was able (or I knew how) to make permanent settings to each podcast, like skipping to different starting times, etc. I enjoy this app, and I don't mind "buying a cup of coffee" occasionally to help out. 3/16/24: Almost 5 years later. I am still using this app. Occasionally, a small issue may come up. Getting help is quick and has always fixed my problem. I tried a couple of apps where my podcasts play ad-free. I came back to Podcast Republic both times.

Thanks very much for your feedback. Each podcast has its own settings which you can fine tune or overwrite the global settings. Please open your podcast from Subscriptions list and then go to the Settings tab to view/edit your per podcast settings. The search result does show the podcast publisher names and with latest episode publishing date!

3/8/24 - Can't send bug report! 3/6/24 - Using Podcast Republic causes Android Auto to crash every time it's used. All other apps work fine, but the moment I press play on any podcast episode using Podcast Republic, it causes Android Auto to crash and disconnect from my car. I have to uninstall Android Auto and then reinstall it. All other apps work fine again. But press play on an episode in Podcast Republic, it immediately crashes and disconnects again. What is happening here?!?
