this podcast is great, one of my favorites. dark, audio footage from real interviews, court hearings, body cams. it's great. the app, SUCKSSSSSSS. Episodes will randomly stop, it will log you out for no reason, if a phone call comes in, the episodes will keep playing silently, leaving you to figure out where you left off. I understand losing money to people sharing a private rss, but I'd much rather listen in my preferred app.

The podcast is phenomenal! The best true crime podcast out there! The app however, needs work. The issues I've noticed so far are when I play an episode I can't play/pause with Bluetooth headphones after a random period of time, sometimes right away. Tried a few pairs of headphones and a couple devices, same issue persists across all devices. A feature that is hopefully coming soon but is currently missing is the ability to cast episodes from the app to speakers, tvs, etc.

Podcast is amazing and looking forward to watch the show. Unfortunately, the updated app (the reason for the 2 stars), doesn't seem to work in the car. It only worked while playing music on Spotify. If pause Spotify, I lose S&S audio lol. The app looks nice, but not as user friendly compared to previous version. Was also hoping the new version had Android auto capability.
