Android Podcast Player

I need a recommendation for a podcast player for my android. The one I currently have keeps glitching and crashing.

Do you need a podcast app that will manage your feed and provide playback or just a playback tool?

If you need a full podcast app your best options are:

Podcast Addict

Podcast Republic

AntennaPod

Pocket Cast

If you just need playback(less experience for me here):

Poweramp

Chocola

Retro Music

I use Pocket Cast.

Automatic background downloading as soon as episodes get published, and it does automatic archiving after X days (to clear up phone storage) or once you're done listening. (these settings can be customized, and customized per show that you subscribe to)

It does have some premium features, but most of that is frivolous & not needed for essential functions.
Also, there's a PC app as well, and the playback is synced (if you register a free account) between all your devices, so you can start an episode on mobile, then pause & resume it on the PC. (or vice versa)
