AntennaPod user reviews :

Ui is good once you set it up. One thing it needs is a better search engine for podcasts. This is a little hard to come since they have to create a store like google play. What the developer can do is have a recommendation page with rising and barely heard of podcasts.

The app is very cleanly designed and follows the new Holo app design guidelines nicely. The user experience could be refined a bit in places but its a new app that will likely be refined over time. Could also use improved search functionality for discovering new content.

First off, the app looks great. OPML import is a plus, though the copying in a folder is a little silly. Download speed is horrendous (I timed downloading the same episode with several podcast apps; this one took forever). I will be keeping an eye on it, but can’t switch to Antenna yet.
