I have been listening to podcasts regularly for a very long time, actually since the iPod era. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Of course, I’ve tried many apps because of this. I’ve used Pocket Casts, Castro for a long time, Overcast, and then one app or another, going back to Apple’s Podcast app a few times. Somehow, there were always things that bothered me. Sometimes the interface was too complex, and sometimes I missed essential features. 

But fundamentally, what I really want from a podcast app is quite simple: a queue that automatically sorts new episodes, where I can set how many unheard episodes of the same podcast I want to keep in this queue at most, and then have a simple way to sort the queue a bit if necessary. The relatively new app to me, Queue, surprisingly does all of this very well with great design. The only thing that bothers me a little is its subscription price. But there’s always something to criticise 😇.
