I'm a paid subscriber and this app does what I need (mostly): allows me to download and listen offline and easily import and subscribe to podcasts that aren't on the platform yet. 1 big issue: when I try to organize my play later feed: (I subscribe to A LOT of podcasts and I like to manually order them.) It never stays in the order I put it in. I just spent 20 minutes rearranging 6 podcast episodes and finally gave up, no matter how many times I put them in order, they'd move. So annoying!

I've been using the free version for years with only minor issues, but recently it started pausing every time the ad at the top refreshes & playing 2-3 seconds of really fast talking (like at the end of some ads, only sped up so much I can't understand it). I have to unlock my phone and manually restart. It's super random, sometimes multiple times in a minute, other times I get maybe 10-15 minutes. Sent a message, no reply yet. Might be time to find a new app. 🫤

I have used the free option for years to listen to my favorite podcasts and to search for new ones. While it's true, the number of ads to upgrade has dramatically increased in the last year, it wasn't anything to care about. Now, however, like others have noted, the audio frequently stops and a high speed jiberish disclaimer-like reading is played. I then have to go back and press play to start listening again only to be interrupted two or three more times. This sucks.
