AntennaPod is great but just...doesn't work.

All I need a podcast app to do is to auto download my podcasts so that they're ready to listen to when I don't have good service. And I need it to not take up large chunks of storage with several month old shows I never listened to. AntennaPod can't do it.

Like most FOSS software, it's ugly and doesn't work.

It work fine for me. Enable auto download. It is very easy to do in the settings.

Works great for me too and has tons of options and flexibility.

No clue what they're talking about other than they clearly don't like FOSS:
Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.

For me, I wouldn't say it's ugly either, FWIW

I like the concept of FOSS very much but there's no denying that it's often ugly and not user-friendly. This is no exception.

Yes, I am aware that in order to download automatically that I have to enable auto download. It doesn't do anything.
