I love the ability to have all of my favorite podcasters in one place. I REALLY wish it would remember where I left off. When I have to stop and come back later it can be frustrating to find the last podcast I was in the middle of. I also wish it would keep track of what I've already listened to. Unless I leave a few seconds unlistened, it all looks fresh and I occasionally start listening to one I've already heard. Overall I like having this app. Just a few frustrations.

It is used to be a great app. Now it shuts off after one min. No longer able to listen to a complete episodes without having to restart it every single minute. I even did the 7 day free trial thinking it was some ploy that requires the upgraded plan. Nope. Still shuts off after 1 min. I tried changing all sorts of settings on my phone and the app. Nothing changes it from shutting off after 1 min

I pay the annual fee to get rid of apps. It's great, and my only complaint for a while was that my car wouldn't stay connected if I had to pause an episode. After one of the recent updates, I don't have that trouble anymore. My favorite thing about this app is I can download episodes and it will play those in like a playlist. Other podcast apps will try to play random things after a downloaded episode ends.

The app freezes if you have to pause it for a minute or two, which makes using this intermittently while at work pretty difficult. It makes you close out and scroll back to find where you left off. I'm bingeing a 300 episode podcast so this is more than a minor inconvenience. I'm sure there's a more efficient podcast app out there.

It is nice to have a free podcast app with just about every podcast and episode your heart desires. Sometimes the app just stops playing in the middle of an episode, sometimes several times during the same episode, regardless of how good phone service is or if it was downloaded. But by far my biggest qualm and headache with this app is how it does not log whether or not you've listened to an episode, so if I try to start listening to a podcast that has been out for any amount of time I cannot determine which episodes I have and have not listened to.

have been using this app for over a year. loved it!. a month ago, the app started playing short ads before the start of a p-cast. I could live with that. A week ago, 30 second ads would start playing in the middle of a p-cast, an unwelcome distraction. Yesterday, I noticed that when resuming a podcast after a pause, the podcast would play for 5 sec and then be interrupted by an annoying facebook video. so I'd basically have to hit the play button twice in 10 seconds. Hope it gets fixed!

It's a great app! Easy to use, reliable, and no bugs. The only problem i have is when an episode ends it automatically deletes it from my downloads. I fall asleep listening to podcasts sometimes. I have to search for and download the episode again the next day. Slight hassle, but would be great if you guys fixed this. Thank you!

I have been using this app for a couple years now and for a while it was fine. I even pay $15 a year for it. But for some time now, every podcast in my favorites takes forever to load. The play button just spins and spins as if it's buffering and sometimes it does so for 5+ minutes. Very irritating. I update the app often and that has not solved the issue. I experience the problem both on wifi and when I am using mobile data. I don't know what the issue is but I'm approaching the end of my rope.

I really love this app, and I'm happy to pay the subscription to eliminate the ads. Two suggestions for the devs if they're listening: 1. What would be really useful is a "repeat" mode when playing a downloaded podcast. I often use this app as a sleep aid, and it would be nice to just be able to repeat the same podcast rather than have the app play through the entire list of downloaded podcasts. 2. Less important: It would be useful if the "skip" time were configurable. Often I'd like to be able to skip in 1 minute increments. Other that that, great podcast app!

I've been using this app on my old phone for some time and really liked it. I had a lot of podcasts loaded, but when I put the app on another device (because my phone seems to be dying) none of my content showed up at all, even though I followed the prompt on Google play store and went through the same Google email account that I used originally . Disappointed and annoyed that I have to individually load multiple podcasts all over again.
