Escapepod - Podcast Player for Android
Version 1.6.x ("Es ist einfach Rockmusik")
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.
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.
