When I played around with ABS over a year ago, they said there were no plans to add auto-downloading of podcast episodes to your phone or auto-queueing of new episodes, so I dropped it and haven’t tried it since. Is this still the case?
The app is definitely not their focus, in particular podcasts where the app becomes very slow and crashy as you get hundreds of episodes per feed. Those features still are not present.
ABS does support RSS enough that you can hook a preferred podcast app up to your “local podcast mirror” and only use the ABS app for actual ebooks.
Thanks. I don’t generally listen to audio books, so what I’m really looking for is a self-hosted solution for podcast syncing that works better than gpodder while keeping feature parity with AntennaPod on my phone. It sucks that ABS is so close to that but decided to not go the last 10% of the way. I’m sure they have a good reason.
