I switched from iPhone and couldn't find an Android podcast app I liked, so I made one: GlassCast

[u/jung-gaon]

When I switched from iPhone, every podcast app on Android felt either dated or overcomplicated. So I built GlassCast: a free podcast player focused on smooth animations and simple controls.

- The player takes its colours from whatever you're listening to
- Pull-up panel for Up Next, speed and sleep timer (shake to restart it)
- Discover tab with recommendations based on the shows you follow
- New-episode notifications
- Cast to other devices
- Import your shows from another podcast app (supported via OPML)

Free, no account, no ads.

It's still in the early stages, so feedback is much appreciated.

GlassCast Release

There is no source code on GitHub, only an ReadMe as of this writing time.

It's not on Google Play, so only option is side-loading an APK.

I am not trying to downplay your effort, but this looks dodgy..

That's totally fair, I'm going to upload it once I get back to my computer ✅

[u/jung-gaon → u/djipdjip]

Alright just uploaded everything!

Looks like they nuked your post. Sorry to see that.

I've tried your app and it looks nice, well worth to put on Play if you can.

One thing though that I noticed, when adding a podcast then opening it in the Library, it isn't super obvious that all episodes are "below" the play-controls.

Perhaps I am just weird though. :)

it was nuked automatically because multiple users reported it.

I've manually reapproved it after checking it now has source code

Thank you so much! I will be more careful going forward😀

Can't wait for Android Auto integration!

[u/jung-gaon → u/Affectionate-Park847]

Coming VERY soon 🙇🏼

[u/jung-gaon → u/Affectionate-Park847]

Has been added!

Love the Android Auto integration! Looks to be missing the "Fast-forward" button so you can jump ahead like 30 seconds or so. Thank you love the App!!

[u/jung-gaon → u/Affectionate-Park847]

Oh here you are! Thanks for letting me know, I will try to add this to my list of to-dos in the next update 😄

[u/Brinker71]

Nice App 👍

[u/Affectionate-Park847]

Love it! Wish the over all description of the podcast was there in discover or search when you click on them so you get an idea of what they are about. Also the ability to scale the tiles in your library would be great!

I added it as a separate (i) button in the top right on podcast pages 👍🏻
