Despite significant upgrades, this app still has problems. I can now subscribe to podcasts, which is nice, but auto-download doesn't work. Also, the app doesn't work with Android Auto, so I can no longer listen in my car. That's a huge negative, since that's where I do most of my podcast/radio listening.

Delete function not working properly. Would like to let you know that is not possible to delete an individual downloaded program from the library, you can only use the "delete all" function. Also I would suggest to look at the "You are not listening to live radio" popup. In my opinion it pops up too often. A bit annoying. Otherwise great app. Thank you. Galaxy S24+

Hello. Thanks for your review. We are aware of an issue affecting the deletion of singular episodes in My Library. We are working on fix which should be in our next release. Thank you.

The app crashes at least 2-3 times an hour if you try to rewind, forward or pause/resume the show you're listening too which is frustrating to say the least. Latest update seems to randomly block access to the app without creating an account. The GP website says there's no requirement to create an account unless you wish to download content for later (which I don't). If this continues to plague my experience I'll likely just delete the app & be done with it.
