Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for over a decade and even paid for it before it was bought by these money grabbers. They seem to think forcing a subscription sign up EVERY single time I go into it is a smart decision. It's extremely annoying and is the reason I would NEVER pay for this again. I listen this while working, I had to see that ad three dozen times yesterday during an 8 hour workday. And for some stupid reason it's not even the same price every time. Hate this app now

I preferred this app over many others for close to a decade now as I go through a lot of podcasts while I work, and this one consistently let me access direct RSS feeds and didn't push aggressive ads or subscriptions. However, it's recently got much buggier and today spontaneously deleted many GBs of already-downloaded podcasts (including ones that are no longer available and can't be recovered) as well as erasing all my subscriptions and listening history. Time to find a new app.

Overall this is a very good podcast app with a couple pain points. Example: The scroll bar when browsing episodes is way too touchy so clicking around brings you way up or down in the list by accident. Additionally, when there's no internet collection it just blanks out which is confusing if you don't know what's wrong. Overall though it's pretty easy to use and lets you add your rss feeds too.
