I like the sounds, I like the fact I can actually get it to play one podcast episode after another, in overcast I couldn't do this for the life of me.
There is one thing I don't like and that's the fact you have to flick twice for each episode, if I have episode one and then two, i'd have to flick twice past one and then to two.
It may not be obvious, but one can also make playlists with Downcast. It took me a while to figure that out.
Here is what I do:
1. Create a playlist under the playlist tab.
2. In the playlist settings, check the podcasts that you want to include in the playlist.
3. Now when you "lock" a certain episode from any of the included podcasts they will show up in that playlist.
Downcast has so many great and easy to use features that are accessible. Very easy to customize how many episodes of each podcast will be downloaded and saved, easy to reorder episodes in a playlist, ability to hide podcasts that don't contain any episodes in order to avoid clutter, easy to navigate through podcasts, easy to use search feature for finding new podcasts and subscribing to them, etc.
I love Downcast so much. My favorite feature is that you can save episodes to play later from anywhere in the timeline of the show and they'll play in whatever order you put them in.

All around a very good and accessible app.
