Description

Escapepod is a podcast player with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. The app has only a single screen. Playback controls and a list of podcasts that shows the five most recent episodes each. Escapepod has no podcast discovery feature. It only offers a very simple search option and it opens RSS podcasts links when you tap them in a web browser.


FREQUENT QUESTIONS

ESCAPEPODS KEEPS MORE THAN TWO EPISODES.
Escapepod tries to reduce the number of episodes it keeps. Here are the rules for that:

- the maximum number of episodes available (and kept) is five

DOES ESCAPEPODS SUPPORT OMPL?
You can import a podcast list using the OPML exchange format. Just open an OPML file using a file manager and choose Escapepod as the handler. The current podcast collection can be exported via Settings. Addionally Escapepod keeps an up-to-date OPML file in the folder /Android/data/org.y20k.escapepod/files/collection/.

I CAN NOT ADD PODCAST X.
Please report any podcast feeds, that are currently not working, using the GitHub Issue template "Feed Issue" (https://github.com/y20k/escapepod/issues/). Note: Escapepod does not support video podcasts.

WHERE DO THE PODCAST SEARCH RESULTS COME FROM?
Escapepod searches the gpodder.net (https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database. Gpodder.net is a great page, if you are looking for new stuff to listen to, BTW.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

4 ★Simple and clean. The most disappointing feature missing (possible user error) is only having the most recent five podcasts. Otherwise it works without issue, is clean and minimal, small footprint for install, and easy to use.
5 ★This is a surprisingly clean, simple, and efficient podcast player. Oh, and it's open source! I'm thinking I might switch to this from AntennaPod and Pocket Casts.
5 ★Super simple podcast player. No frills, no ADs, no tracking. FOSS as it should be!
1 ★Can't find any podcast manually or import from the opml file generated from AntennaPod.
1 ★The name "Escape Pod" is already an excellent Sci Fi podcast. Taking their name that they've had for over a decade is not cool. Change the name.
