Tried this for 2 weeks and it works great.. when it actually works. The problem is it only works when it wants to. Either I get a 404 error when trying to play an episode, or when i do find one that plays, it will randomly stop playing due to "unstable service." I live in the mountains, and service can be spotty, but I've never had an issue with Stitcher or Spotify playing an episode. Case in point an hour long episode will stop playing 8-10 times and need to be manually restarted every time.

Great app! And its free! Update: This app has been great. I have used it for a couple of years. I bought the premium version. I've been happy until recently. For some reason the app seems broken. The pods are skipping all over the place. I can't even tell what I'm listening to. I've tried logging off and logging back in... that made things even worse. I am about to delete and re-download the app. Hopefully that fixes it. If not, sorry to say but I will be moving on....sadly.

Automatically pauses in the middle of playback of downloaded media. Editing to add (since I can't reply to your response for some reason) Did you bother reading the part where I specifically said it's doing it while I listen to downloaded media? It's pretty hard to miss, since it's basically the only thing I said.
