Grover Podcast

This is a great simple and lean application (not iTunes-like at all). The only feature I wish it had was the optional ability to only download a set number of the newest episodes onto your drive, and then clean-out the rest (i.e. 'keep only the x newest episodes'). Otherwise I'm realizing I'm going to need to either go to the drive and clean it up occasionally, or listen to every unheard episode so it will delete the files because they've been flagged as 'listened to'.

When I first rated this app, I was frustrated by not being able to listen to full podcasts before they would get stuck buffering. After a helpful reply to my review by the developer, I discovered that this problem happened solely with one particular podcast. Since that time, I have happily listened to many other podcasts. After a recent update, the podcast I was initially having difficulty with, Serial, has been playing beautifully too. Many apologies to the developer for my previous review. This app works like a charm!

I like the look and feel of the app. I found all the podcast that interest me. The only downside is I have a windows 10 phone and that is not a free app. I am not ready to pay as I am not sure the PC version will be in sync with the phone version.

Decent for what it is, but still a long way to go. For example, if you want mark all older episodes as played, you have to first hit the "select" button. You then have to select one episode to get the "select all" button to appear... why? What don't the selection options appear the moment that you hit the "select" button? It doesn't make any sense. Why can't I just right-click or long-press and episode and have a "mark older episodes as played" option?

Users should be able to "SYNC" one podcast individually, without it syncing all of them at the same time when clicking the SYNC button. -after one episode is complete, it should automatically start playing the next episode just like iTunes....or add the option for nonstop play. UPDATE: Thanks for the insight. I still would like an "Autoplay" switch for continuous play. Version 2.4.5.0 is the Best Podcast app on Windows as of 11/5/2016
