| the best podcast listening experience on Android
That's a big claim. Not to discount your work, but why should someone use your app over Pocket Casts (which I believe to currently have the best Android app).

- Spreaker is "streaming first": it's way easier to just play something new that you want to listen to, without going through the Subscribe->my podcasts->download(or stream) flow. You can also download podcasts, but this appears to be a secondary mode of consumption.
- There is great emphasis around curation: there are both curated lists (they somewhat look like the Play Store discovery experience) and channels, which are good when you don't want to pick something specific to listen to but you just want to play something.
All things considered, it's a very different experience from most of the podcasting apps out there that come from the original iTunes-like subscribe experience. It might be better or worse, and this is very personal. But I believe this is moving in a different direction.
- live broadcasting and interactivity: our app offer all live broadcasts available on the Spreaker platform. If one of your favorite shows starts a new live stream, you'll be notified in the app, so you can listen to it while it's live and interact with the host using the embedded chat
- we know that it's a big claim, but we put A LOT of effort in this app, working since the day one with a clear goal: offer the best experience; I think nobody works so hard with the goal to create NOT the best experience app :)
We'll be very happy if you can spend some time playing with the app and tell us what you think it can be improved. Every feedback is welcome, especially the negative ones, so we can learn from them and deliver a better app
