Ratings and reviews

This is a horrible app. The graphic is exceptional, but you can't play any podcasts. You select any podcast, it shows that play time is 41 minutes. But the green play button never works. It doesn't matter how many times you push play. Also, under privacy, read the number of personal info they collect even if you don't accept their cookies, aka tracking tagd.

What happened to the full episodes they made available on the previous app? Who wants to watch 3 minutes at a time? For 15+ years now they've been jerking people around with their streaming & podcasts, making it as inconvenient as possible. Haven't we been through enough? It's 2026, you should be able to stream an episode without them trying to push you to live TV. Get with it, MS.

So who do I complain to about the fact that we can't watch full episodes anymore because apparently somebody decided that the attention span of the American populist doesn't last more than 15 minutes. I used to be able to watch an episode of whatever program I'm looking for the day after it aired. The *whole* episode. I don't want to watch a stupid clip show or listen to a podcast. I wanna watch the whole episode, as it aired, because visual context is a thing.
