Ratings and reviews

I enjoy the the content that I can find. But, the app is not great. The discover feature, especially, is bad. There are three tabs. There's no way to sort, filter, search; no genres or tags: inspiring, in-depth, apocalypse, sports. The sort order is bizarre, presumably some broken affinity algorithm. It doesn't remove ones I've already heard. It shows me old things above new things. I have no to way to say I don't care about Bruce Springsteen.

This is such a fantastic idea and it's really expanded the amount of great writing I've been able to consume over the last year--the stories available and the narrators are great. But the app itself is just awful. Hard to use, glitchy, annoying playlist feature, constantly crashes. I remember seeing reviews to this effect when I first got the app and nothing has changed, updated, or improved, so I am canceling my subscription. It's kinda frustrating.

No issue with the content but the app is not good. It's hard to effectively search for older articles that would be of interest. There are no suggestions, just a chronological list of new articles. The app often says I am offline and won't let me play any article. The navigation bar often takes awhile to populate the playing option. The app itself is barely functional especially considering it requires a monthly subscription.
