Whether it's for offline listening, privacy or something else: we're always happy when someone is so enthusiastic about AntennaPod. (It's cool also to see it run on a phone with an eInk display!)

This Is the Only Podcast App I Use on Android

It's free, private, and likely to stick around.

We're most certainly not out here to ruin data plans – why would we. As @skylorbeck.website noted, it's probably a specific 'real life collision'.
Either way, we're investigating over at GitHub. Those with smart ideas or good insights on this topic are most welcome to think along over there.

Hi @skylorbeck.website
We're sorry to hear about this. That sucks indeed. Normally, when switching from WiFi to mobile internet the downloads should not continue, if you have not allowed downloads via mobile internet in the AntennaPod settings. Let's follow up over on GitHub.

📨 Stickers are - finally - on their way!
We've sent them out to some lucky community members who shared their 2024 recap with the #AntennaPodEcho tag (on Mastodon, next year we'll cover Bluesky too). So cool to have fans literally all over the world! 🗺️
🤞Fingers crossed they arrive!

If you're an #Android user struggling to find a good #podcast app (like I was), may I recommend @antennapod.org. It's #opensource and the UI is #adfree, which are two of my biggest #mobiletech priorities.

That said, if you open the bug report now, you'll see that it's been closed through a PR. So while we didn't update the label to 'confirmed bug' it was actually confirmed and fixed. Please bear with us until we get the next (bug fix) release out, and keep an eye out on updates.
Have a great day! 3/3

The 'possible bug' label gets applied by default on new tickets when the reporter thinks something is a bug (while it could've been designed that way). The label is no judgement on whether a bug is critical or not. In fact, we don't have labels for severity or priority. 2/3

Hi Kevin
We're really sorry this happened. Please remember that we're all volunteers here and provide AntennaPod 'as is'. If you hover the label on GitHub, you'll see what it means: that it hasn't been confirmed by one of our developers yet. 2/3

This year we made - with the great help of the design experts over at @freehive.com - a bunch of AntennaPod stickers. Logos, special contributor stickers, and ... Mike! And as of today, you have a chance to get them too!

We understand. We're currently going through our backlog of issues needing triage. We hope we can get back to you soon! (As written in our contribution docs, it's safer to create an issue before creating a PR.)
The issues we listed have been approved, though, so you won't run into the same problem.

Looking for a Google Podcasts alternative? Check out antennapod.org!

I tried using YouTube Music and Spotify, but both lack basic features like automatically removing listened podcasts from the queue. Now I have been using AntennaPod and it is perfect!
