Easily the worst podcast player I ever used. I tried so hard to make it work for months. Even paid for ad free. It was terrible. Would randomly decide it didn't want to download podcasts. Skipped around randomly within episodes, even playing downloaded episodes. "cannot play the next episode due to a broken source" - then would play it anyway. Long announcements about using mobile data, even after I approved using it. Trash. Stay far away.

I liked this at first but the ads became very annoying and also took up a lot of battery. I wouldn't have cared if it showed a picture ad, but it shows videos that play non stop, draining your battery. Many of the ads are the very annoying full screen video ads and they are difficult to close. Because of that I decided to look for something else. If it wasn't for that, I would have given this 5 stars. It's nice and simple. The only thing I didn't like is that it plays podcasts new to old

I recently changed podcast apps and this one works really well for me. But, because I don't know tech well and get frustrated when I don't know the tricks I didn't know how to get rid of the long list of episodes on each one that I had already listened to. Sent a quick message asking how, and got a reply in less than 6 hours. Ani was kind while teaching me, but the real amazing thing was that a couple of days later Ani reached out to make sure everything worked for me!
