    Still there are many bugs. I like *** easy it is to subscribe and search but the settings area is a mess and the downloading on subscription podcast are also troubling. Please update, but I think its still one of the better podcast apps on WP

    This actually is the best podcasting app! Intuitive UI, easy to subscribe, many settings, etc. Download this now!

    Fantastic app! Finally an app that gives WP8 the podcast support Microsoft refuses to add. Great UI, love the ability to add podcasts that are not in the directory. The only negative thing for me is that it keeps downloading the most current episode, even after I have listened to it. Space is an issue for most WP8 users, so this is a little frustrating.

    The most important thing for me in a podcast app is a queue or playlist that plays one episode after another with no interaction from me. When I am biking, driving, or working out, I do not want to have to stop to start the next podcast. I assumed Carboncast would do this since it has a playlist. However, the playlist doesn’t play the list. It finishes one podcast and stops. You must exit the now playing and go to the “playlist” and tap another episode. Instead of calling it a playlist a better name would be downloaded episodes. It also doesn’t delete the episode after listening even though I have the settings set to do so. If the author could give us a user playlist such as Windows Media player has, this could be a great app. I also can’t quite figure out what the box with the two arrows does. It along with the play button disappears regularly and the only way to get it back is to exit the app.When it is there, if you hit it, it plays a different episode, but seems random as to which episode it picks.

    Great podcast player. Would be better if it would only show unplayed podcasts instead of all podcasts including ones that have not been downloaded. Still one of the nicer apps. Thanks for the hard work creating this.

    Nice app

    Would be perfect with play back from oldest to newest that would continue from on episode to the next so you don't have to look down while driving or running

    Lots of potential. BUT crashes when you try to manually add a podcast that requires a log in & crashes when you try to log into gpodder. Other wise a good app.

    Great design and features. A very important app that fills in an important feature missing from WP8.
