Used to be my favorite but barely working since last update. Wouldn't play downloaded podcasts for some time, now it won't download episodes at all. Update: now it won't even play the downloaded episodes that I had saved before the problems began. Only plays podcasts when I have internet and will not download. I guess it's time for a new podcast app.Addl update: reinstalled and got working again, but lost all my saved downloads and saved settings. Dropped one star for all the headache.

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.

I'm new to podcasts, and want to really like this app. However, I have to constantly restart the playing podcast, for this app stops it at random times. Might be a 10 minute problem-free playback, might be 15 minutes, might be five. And then it just stops. Without that problem, I'd probably give it five stars
