Used to be the best podcast app. It was free, no ads, simple, lightweight. It's none of those things anymore. Every update makes it worse. Constant spamming to make a purchase every single time app is opened. Automatically opened some VERY suspicious looking ads in my browser window when I wasn't even touching my phone. That one was absolutely the last straw for me. Done with this app for good. Should have dropped it long ago

Sketchiest app imaginable. The ads that launched new windows on their own were bad enough, but this weird audio glitching that sounds like the app's being possessed by a demon is such a specifically bad fail. Couple that with it randomly unsubscribing from podcasts, not being able to import RSS feeds successfully, and no customer service to speak of, it's time to bail. I've only stuck around this long due to inertia. It's been clear for years that this app is garbage.

I have a similar experience to other users recently with random garbled content playing followed by an unprompted stop of the offline podcast playback. It is so annoying that I've updated my 4 star review from 2021 to 1 star. I'm very disappointed and will look for other app options. Good selection of content, though there are podcasts I would like to see added - in lieu of fun, for example. Simple to use generally, new interface took some time to find where controls were moved to.
