AntennaPod is a free and open-source podcast aggregator app for the Android operating system.

History

AntennaPod was originally released on July 22, 2012, as Version 0.8[2] and is licensed under the MIT license. The app is a free and open-source software that aggregates podcasts.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The app was featured on the crowdsourced BoringPhone - a phone intended to eliminate distractions that is an alternative to the mainstream Android phones.[8]

Features

Reception

In October 2013, Justin Pot at Make Use Of praised the app for being a simple podcast client which was also free of ads.[12] Since that time it has remained free of ads and open source.[13]

In December 2015, Android Police named AntennaPod one of their favorite and most used apps in 2015, saying "... AntennaPod is a capable option that looks great and has all of [the] must-have features...".[14]

In November 2019, Dan Price of Make Use of included AntennaPod as the only open-source player in a list of 8 best podcast applications for Android. He said although it was less well known, it has many good features, including "great memory management tools."[15]

In June 2020, Manuel Vonau of AndroidPolice said open source AntennaPod from F-Droid is a "fine alternative to many proprietary solutions" but its player design could be improved.[16]

In July 2020, Netzwelt listed AntennaPod as their top choice for podcast apps.[17]

According to Jan Spoenle of Weka Media, AntennaPod works as well as its commercial competitors with the only downside of the app being that it doesn't provide an individual playlist function.[18]

Leonardo Banchi of AndroidWorld recommended the application as a free alternative to other podcast apps.[19]

In April 2023, Jon Gilbert and John Bradbury of Android Police recommended AntennaPod as one of the 17 best free open source apps on Android in 2023 [20]

In April 2024, Kyle Bradshaw of 9to5Google recommended AntennaPod as the best open-source alternative to replace Google Podcasts after its shutdown.[21]
