Ratings and reviews

Update: Found another free podcast app where the volume does not spike. AntennaPod. I found all of my programs that I had in Podbeam. Goodbye! ** Ad volume goes up REALLY loud! I'll give it an 80 out of 100. The aggravation is when you are listening to a program at a very comfortable volume, but you're shocked out of your comfort zone when the advertisements come blaring in! Updated the app. No change in ad volume spikes. Don't mind the ads. But why so LOUD!! What the heck!

After the update I did today, the sound has quit. Well, it's been awhile. My sound works now, but it keeps stopping and giving me the error 2002 that says "connection timeout". I have no idea what this means or why it keeps stopping every couple of minutes. Sometimes it goes days without doing it, and suddenly does it constantly. This app pains me. I don't know why I still use it. Almost 3 years later now. Still using it. Been much better, but after the last update, it's back to stopping.

This has to be the worst podcatcher in the play store, I can only assume all the positive reviews were paid for. If you'd like to listen to a podcast only for the player to automatically rewind 60s so you think you're losing your mind, or if you'd like your podcast player to just totally forget where you left off in your playlist, or if you enjoy using needlessly confusing UIs, then this is the app for you.
