I have just migrated over from Listen and I have to say that I am really impressed with this app. As others have said, it is more complicated to use but it is very powerful and flexible. I have no regrets.

Excellent Podcatcher. A bit pricy at full Price but I especially love the fact, that I can set Rules for when to Download Podcasts. Now I don't have to check them for updates with an external prog, but my Phone grabs them whenever it is connected to WiFi and Power.

Disappointed with this app. It's quite complicated and tough to figure out if something that went wrong was a configuration issue ("your fault") or the app or Android itself. Tons of little buttons and features. Tiny font. Tough to use and so quirky that I ended up switching back to Google Listen(!) as awful as that is.
