AntennaPod is great but just…doesn’t work.
All I need a podcast app to do is to auto download my podcasts so that they’re ready to listen to when I don’t have good service. And I need it to not take up large chunks of storage with several month old shows I never listened to. AntennaPod can’t do it.
Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.
You can literally accomplish your use case with AntennaPod. You clearly have some issue with FOSS though.
I’m “literally” telling you that I can’t. You “clearly” have a blind eye for FOSS.
I can do it, but you can’t?
Check the global app settings. Under Network you can limit your total downloads (Automatic Downloads). For example, I have it limited to 10 downloaded at a time. See if that helps you out.

It work fine for me. Enable auto download. It is very easy to do in the settings.
Works great for me too and has tons of options and flexibility.
No clue what they’re talking about other than they clearly don’t like FOSS:
Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.
For me, I wouldn’t say it’s ugly either, FWIW
I like the concept of FOSS very much but there’s no denying that it’s often ugly and not user-friendly. This is no exception.
Too bad, that the official gpodder.net server is 99% useless. Aside from that, the AntennaPod app is really great, I use that daily.
if this application does not suit you, please share your alternative applications.
I use it daily, it’s got a ton of features and it’s customizamble. Hands down best FOSS podcast app
Great app that I recommend. I never listened to podcasts before I discovered the app, so I can’t even compare it to others. It works.
