Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for a very long time, possibly a decade and until recently it was just what I needed. It is even easy to get your subscriptions back when getting a new phone. Lately it has become pretty rough. If I have the app running and switch to my browser for 10 seconds and hop back to the app I have a full screen ad nearly every time to switch to premium which has a couple second delay for the "not now" button to pop up. I might switch if an app doesn't cut that ad rate down.

I've used this app for years. I especially love the ability to sort podcasts manually. Recently however podcasts tend to stop for no reason (haven't timed it, perhaps every 30 mins or so) and the app asks if I want to subscribe about 50 times per day (without explaining much benefit, making it clear how or allowing me to stop the interruptions). I'm sad to have to find a new podcast app. Thanks for a good few years podkicker!

Simple to use. Good selection of podcasts. It has an easier to use playlist queue than any other podcast app I have used. It is also easier to search for podcasts. The simple interface makes it better than other apps. I also like being able to downloa, and organize in the order I want to listen to. That is working again. However it stops playing at times and doesn't show as a recently used app. Many times it finishes a podcast and stops.
