I've used this app for years but recently it's become nearly impossible to use because it keeps stopping the episode every 2 minutes. This happens or it will keep playing and when I go to pause it and listen to it later, it skips back 20 minutes or so. I'm getting so sick of it and am about to start listening to all my podcasts on spotify even though I like this interface better.

Hi, sorry about this playback issue. Could you go to your phone Settings and turn off the battery optimization option for Podcast Player to see if it works? It's about the downloaded episodes or not? If it still doesn't work, please send a screen recording or a video regarding the whole process to support@castbox.fm. We'll further look into it!

Used this app for years. It was kind of dinky, but not bad. Recently, though, it has been really awful; barely usable. It skips episodes in the queue and marks them as played, it randomly pauses itself, it will skip back then when you go in to the app it will say nothing is playing and you have to open and close the app several times just to make it stop playing, it will get to the end of an episode and say "no internet connection" even if you are connected, and a bunch of other little bugs.

So this app has been having some problems lately. I still love it and don't want to change to a new app, but even after uninstalling then redownloading, some episodes still randomly get skipped. It's gotten a lot better, but it's annoying because the skipped episodes are removed from the que, doen't show up in my history, and are marked as played when I go look at the specific podcast. Normally I can catch it and can quickly redownload the episode, but not if I'm driving.
