Using too much data – Podcast App & Player - Castbox Review

So I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s still great but I have a few issues. When I first tap “subscriptions” and then click a podcast it will take a full minute for the titles to load. I have to allow the app to use cellular data sometimes even though I only want to listen to podcasts that are downloaded already. If I go to downloads I see a bunch of spaces where they are supposed to be but there are no titles or icons until I turn on cellular data for a second. Then it uses somewhere between 3 and 10 megabytes of data just to load even though I have cellular downloads turned off in app and the podcast I’m getting ready to listen to is already downloaded. This doesn’t happen every time but it happens a lot. So it takes more data to listen to a podcast that I already have downloaded than it would to stream it on Apple’s native app. Ting is a great cell service and my bill is $15 a month if I keep it under 100 megs. This app keeps pushing me into the $20 a month range. Which brings me to another problem, when I download a podcast I have to babysit it for a minute because if I let the screen go to sleep it stops the download. I’m still happy with the app though but only if I stay at home.
