Ratings and reviews

The app may or may not display the button to cast the podcast to my Nest speakers. It's very annoying. Sometimes the button is there, and sometimes it isn't. It also gave no warning when it wasn't downloading podcasts. I removed app, reinstalled, and at least got it to download. But it does not automatically download even though I've pressed every possible button on overall settings and individual channel settings. Honestly, it's too complicated. There should be one button, not seven.

September 2021. Wow, audio adverts over the top of my podcasts. Time to find a new player. What a shame. I've been using this for years, love it and have no reason to change. The only thing I'd like is an easy way to change the playback speed, especially in Fullscreen Carmode so I can play casts with lots of music at normal speed - a simple 2 button +/- would be perfect.

I've used this for a good few years now and while it's still good, it would be great if it worked with Android auto or Waze. However, I've re-reviewed this because, lately, the ads have become intrusive. I'm not averse to adverts, but there have been a few that have audio which play over the podcast, so you get a situation where a podcast plays and the advert plays at the same time - I have to then pause the podcast until the advert stops. And this happens every few minutes...
