I've had NewPipe in the past but had found it quite unusable. Based on the recommendations of this thread I'll be installing it once again.

AntennaPod is fantastic, but buggy in ways that I haven't managed to coalesce into a good bug report yet:

* Playback while streaming stops, but the network connection hasn't dropped

* AntennaPod via Bluetooth crashes (!) the head unit in a Mazda CX5. No, I don't know how that's possible, either.

Ah that's not good to hear.

I was using Podcast Addict prior to AntennaPod and it had the same issues as your first point. I now experience the same behaviour with AntennaPod and had wrote it off as a "podcasting" glitch or at least an issue with the streams I was listening to.

Hopefully they address these issues in the future but they're definitely not deal breaker issuss for me to want to switch to some closed source alternative.

etar it's missing very basic things like setting the font size or repeated reminders (what's the use of calendar if you miss reminder?)

Modern etar (as in the version that is most current in FDroid) has the ability to setup recurring events (every day, every two weeks, etc.) Is that what you mean by "repeated reminders"?

Font setting, no it does not directly have font setting inside the app. Instead it follows the phone global size set under the accessibility area of the global settings app.

no, repeated reminder will pop up in set time and if there is no input it pop up again in five minutes and then again and again

in Business calendar i use 5 times 5 minutes but you can set whatever frequency and amount of repeated reminders, seem almost no calendar apps have this killer feature
