Easily the worst podcast player I ever used. I tried so hard to make it work for months. Even paid for ad free. It was terrible. Would randomly decide it didn't want to download podcasts. Skipped around randomly within episodes, even playing downloaded episodes. "cannot play the next episode due to a broken source" - then would play it anyway. Long announcements about using mobile data, even after I approved using it. Trash. Stay far away.

Works in a pinch but lacks many features I'm looking for, so I'm uninstalling. They automatically subscribe you to ten totally random podcasts with no easy way to unsubscribe. You can't search for individual episodes and there is no way to build a queue of selected episodes, which is crazy to me. You also can't mark episodes you want to listen to later. You can't quickly adjust the speed, you have to click through every single speed until you land on the right one. Annoying physical ads, etc.

On initial install it subscribes you to about 10 podcasts that have nothing to do with my interests. It has the option to remove them but not all podcasts respond to this. UPDATE: After a response to this post, I tried again and they did get removed this time so, who knows. I'm using the version with ads and you will get lots of those ones that you think you're closing but they still take you to the product. I also get the "broken link" error often. Not sure what's causing that.

I recently changed podcast apps and this one works really well for me. But, because I don't know tech well and get frustrated when I don't know the tricks I didn't know how to get rid of the long list of episodes on each one that I had already listened to. Sent a quick message asking how, and got a reply in less than 6 hours. Ani was kind while teaching me, but the real amazing thing was that a couple of days later Ani reached out to make sure everything worked for me!

I enjoyed this app for long enough to have favorites saved... then one evening I accidentally touched the playback speed in lower left corner and it wasn't a pleasant speed so I touchd it again and again till it was so fast I couldn't understand it I did it multiple times hoping it would return to 1x. I went to settings and unchecked all speeds beyond 1.5. That didn't work either, for this I have attained a new app, whis is not as good as this was.

Wish I had read reviews instead of just seeing the rating. No idea how this app has a 4.8 star rating (all the recent reviews are bad). The ads are so obnoxious. It's almost impossible to close some of them without "clicking" the ad because the X box in the corner is so tiny. Annoyed that I'll have to transition all my stuff to another app after following the podcasts I like, downloading episodes etc.
