I love this app. I really do, but theres so many small issues that annoy me. For example: not being able to download new episodes (it says failed almost immediately) and it randomly stopping during an episode and then crashing to the point the app wont open again for at least 4 tries. It also doesnt save the label of 'episode played' for older episodes.

User friendly, nice layout but one huge issue the "mark as played" doesn't seem to stay marked as played. Very frustrating. I've reinstalled, updated and tried all the fixes I've read up on and nothing seems to fix the glitch. 😐 It does show as played in history when I listen to an episode but not in the actual list of podcast's episodes.

Would you please go to the History page, to see if your play history was logged?

Nice alternative for Google podcasts. A very annoying bug however is that when the episodes list order is newer on top (which at least for me is very logical) and the "auto play next episode" is also on, when the current episode ends the next played episode is the next on the list which is an older episode and not newer. It is very annoying especially while driving. Please fix this issue. Plus, please create a view under "following" of the latest unheard episodes ordered from new to old Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Please click the three lines icon on the podcast page, then set the play order as “old to new”.
