Escapepod - Podcast Player for Android
Version 1.1.x ("Mein Neues Hobby")
Escapepod is a simple and lightweight app with a minimalistic approach for listening to podcasts, which may not be to everyone's liking. The app has only a single screen. Playback controls and a list of podcasts that shows the five most recent episodes each. Escapepod has no podcast discovery feature. It only offers a very simple search option and it opens RSS podcast links when you tap them in a web browser.
Escapepod is free and open source. It is published under the MIT open source license. Want to help? Please check out the notes in CONTRIBUTE.md first.
Install Escapepod
You can install Escapepod via F-Froid.
