Escapepod - Podcast Player

Escapepod is a simple and lightweight app for listening to podcasts.
Version: 1.5.1
Added: 01-10-2019
Updated: 30-01-2024
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.
