I’m currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.
UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.

I’ve been using Pocket Casts for many many years and like it…but never really researched anything else.
Great app, feature full. I bought that one ages ago
Pocket Casts.

Been using it for 6 yearsyears. My favourite is the listening time; I’m on 122 days and 18 hours (and I don’t play audio while sleeping!)!
same I have been using this for so long I love it
Never knew listening time was available. Never really dug into the app because it just works. Only thing I have setup is to auto-update at 4am everyday.
I’ve been using Podcast Addict for years and still like it. Has a lot of features.
This is what I use. Never had a problem and I love the auto download and removal features for subscribed podcasts.
Call me basic, but since I have a Spotify subscription for music, I just use it for podcasts, too.
podcast addict, I cannot believe how customizable and useful it is.
I tried it, it blew my socks off, I’ve been using it ever since.
I use Podurama because I listen on both desktop browser and on android. I wanted something that would track my progress and I could switch platforms 1/2 way through
I had to switch after Google podcasts ended. But before that I used Podcast Republic. Very happy with it , except for lack of desktop.
Audiobookshelf, because I self host my audiobooks and it supports podcasts as well. This way I have them available anywhere, it allows me to have control over my podcasts and I don’t have to worry about anyone shutting down the service unexpectedly.
Probably a little less of what you’re looking for, but the Audiobookshelf player in combination with a self hosted ABS instance works great for me.
I switched from Google Podcasts to Podcast Guru when Google Podcasts shut down. It seems ok so far.
