Escapepod is a podcast player with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. The app has only a single screen. Playback controls and a list of podcasts that shows the five most recent episodes each. Escapepod has no podcast discovery feature. It only offers a very simple search option and it opens RSS podcast links when you tap them in a web browser.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
DOES ESCAPEPOD HAVE PLAYBACK QUEUE?
Escapepod has a simple up-next feature. Tap play on an episode while listening to another one. You will be be given the opportunity add it to the up-next slot.
WHAT ARE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS?
- Auto-update does not download files over cellular network
- Escapepod by default only keeps two episodes
CAN ESCAPEPOD KEEPS MORE THAN TWO EPISODES?
Escapepod tries to reduce the number of episodes it keeps. Here are the rules for that:
- Escapepod keeps the latest two episodes

- The maximum number of episodes available (and kept) is five
DOES ESCAPEPOD SUPPORT OPML?
You can import a podcast list using the OPML exchange format using the respective option in the app's Settings. The current podcast collection can be exported via Settings, too. Additionally Escapepod keeps an up-to-date OPML file in the folder /Android/data/org.y20k.escapepod/files/collection/.
I CAN NOT ADD PODCAST X. WHY?
Please report any podcast feeds, that are currently not working, using the GitHub Issue template "Feed Issue" (https://github.com/y20k/escapepod/issues/). Note: Escapepod does not support video podcasts.

Escapepod searches by default the Podcastindex.org (https://podcastindex.org/) online database - or if you toggle the respective setting the gpodder.net (https://gpodder.net/directory/) online database.
