Escapepod is a simple and lightweight app for listening to podcasts.

Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.

Escapepod is a straightforward and lightweight app that takes a minimalistic approach to podcast listening, which may not appeal to everyone. The app consists of only two screens: a list of all podcasts and a list of episodes for a single podcast. Escapepod lacks a podcast discovery feature, offering only a simple search option. Additionally, it opens RSS podcast links when tapped in a web browser. VERIFY APK ---------- APKs published on Codeberg Releases are signed with the following certificate.

Escapepod has a simple up-next feature. Tap play on an episode while listening to another one. You will be be given the opportunity add it to the up-next slot. WHAT ARE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS? - Auto-update does not download files over cellular network - Escapepod by default only keeps two episodes CAN ESCAPEPOD KEEPS MORE THAN TWO EPISODES? Escapepod tries to reduce the number of episodes it keeps. Here are the rules for that: - Escapepod keeps the latest two episodes - Episodes, that have been started, or that have been downloaded manually, are kept, too - Episodes that have not been listened to in more than two weeks are removed. DOES ESCAPEPOD SUPPORT OPML? You can import a podcast list using the OPML exchange format using the respective option in the app's Settings. The current podcast collection can be exported via Settings, too. Additionally Escapepod keeps an up-to-date OPML file in the folder /Android/data/org.y20k.escapepod/files/collection/. WHERE DO THE PODCAST SEARCH RESULTS COME FROM? Escapepod searches by default the Podcastindex.org (https://podcastindex.org/) online database - or if you toggle the respective setting the gpodder.net (https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database.
