I really like the available features but I'm experiencing freezing and sudden transition to a different unplayed podcasts. I paid for the removal of ads, wish I wasn't experiencing issues.
Super easy to setup and get right into listening to a podcast. I think it took me 5 seconds to get up and running and listening to a Ted Talk.
Just started using this app. It's very customizable and has a lot of potential. The developer is very responsive, as well. I'm looking forward to seeing how this app improves and is refined over time.
Would like to see further improvements especially with Apple Watch playback (volume control, synchronisation progress, etc.).
I tried to add a pod cast but all the app does is crash. Look elsewhere for a podcast app.
I still get constant crashes when attempting to import or subscribe to podcasts. It's unusable.
Had some issues. Dev emailed me and we figured it with an update. App works well.
This app is great. Except for when my alarms go off l have to restart the app. When l download it a few months ago it had a dead air option that's no longer in settings.
The app doesn't appear to let you batch edit items, such as marking hundreds of episodes as 'listened.' The interface is clunky and lacking. Many of the features touted can be found in RSSRadio, which I'll be sticking with.
Really like what you’ve done here. Great podcast player with a lot of features!!!!
