Ratings and reviews

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.

Awful. Not only does this app crash regularly, it also sits in the background eating through battery power like crazy. Also it does not buffer much audio, leading to regular dropouts in poorly connected areas and there's a tendency for it to revert back to the beginning of a broadcast, losing your place when listening to catch up.

Love the app but when listening and stopping play of a radio station can the app be made to play again ? When listening via Bluetooth I get 2 minutes of play then it stops. In order to play again I have to reopen app and physically press play no good on a motorcycle via Bluetooth.
