Been using the free player for over a decade across multiple phones. Used to love it as the free version met most of my needs. However, the app quality has dropped tremendously over the last few months. I got used to the constant ads to upgrade every time I opened the app, but now it consistently loses my place in my podcast when I pause or switch headsets. I can't even scroll in the UI in some podcasts any even though the episode is downloaded. Now I'm on the hunt for a new podcast app.

Don't know if it's an issue with latest update, but there's roughly a 50-75% chance the app will not remember when episodes were paused, or just start them from the beginning for no reason. Has gone from an app that can occasionally run slow but still a stable platform to being borderline unusable. The usual popup on starting that tries to get you to pay for this feel like a joke now. A real shame.

App has gone downhill. Constant pop ups to subscribe. Not sure if there was an update recently but it started downloading/streaming podcasts without my knowledge (has always been set to only stream or download on wifi) causing a huge spike in my data usage that I didn't notice until I got a huge bill. Now the player controls are covered by the Android navigation buttons and I can't remove them. If you want me to pay for it, this isn't the way. Might be time for a new podcast player
