I know this has been asked many times before, but apps change over time, so the previous answers may not stand. So looking for best Podcast app. Recommendations?
 
Why does Downcast get no love?

Every year I search the net to see if there is a new best app and it seems to always come up Overcast, Castro (1 or 2) or Pocket Casts.

Overcast seems very similar to Downcast. Downcast lets me download podcasts from 2013 while Overcast lets me play the old postcasts but not download them.

Just curious why Downcast is never in the top few, particularly Overcast which seems to be very similar.

Overcast's "Smart Speed" feature basically means I have no interest in using any other player.
