Ratings and reviews

This use to be my favorite app. Now it randomly stops. I've tried downloading podcasts and it will play for a second or two then stop. I unstalled the app then re-downloaded it. Nothing. It sucks because this was my go to app that I used probably 50-60 hours a week. I've saw others having this problem. Hopefully it gets fixed soon! Until then I'd just download another app that is reliable.

It would be much better if there was one place where users can view all of the podcasts that were downloaded. For example, if a user downloaded 2 episodes from podcast A, 2 from B, and 2 from podcast C. Currently, to listen, you have to go into each podcast and then into downloads. It would be better to get to them from the home screen with 1 tap. Edit: In response, props for sharing this shortcut, but 1 tap from the homesreen is the goal. Put the downloads on the homescreen.

Usually a 5 star for me, but the past few months have encountered multiple issues: 1) Auto-download for apps has not been working 2) I have selected "do not delete episodes after playing" in both setting options (main menu & download menu), BUT the download either deletes as soon as I start playing the episode or after it's done playing 3) Audio will randomly jump back a few seconds through each podcast, sometimes causing the end of the podcast to cut off early. Hope these get resolved soon.
