better than spotify but the ad issue is problematic. Pop up ads that are nearly impossible to close make it hard to listen for any length of time. I have no issues with advertisements on a free ap but you have to pull out your phone and try over and over to close the ads every single time they pop up. Additionally the playback is often funky and parts of the podcast will repeat or be completely cut out.

It sucks battery life. It is difficult to delete individual downloads without deleting everything. Usually, it takes 20 seconds to FIND an ad to play on startup, then plays it. It often takes 45 seconds or longer to finally play the episode. I realize ads pay for "free" use, and I have tried and use some of the products. Honestly, make it easier to delete episodes. Shorten boot time. And do something about hideous power drain.

Sorry. As a startup, we have to survive by integrating with ads. To reduce battery usage, you could try to disable auto download, auto delete, and push notifications in the app settings. Also, when you're not using the app, you can also remove the app from the background. For more info, please reach us at support@castbox.fm. Thanks! - Jowanna

giant pop up ads cover the entire screen and you have to close the app, turn off wifi, re-open the app offline to get it to go away. makes the app un-usable. I'm pretty fed up living in an ad, and since every platform and is exactly that and exactly the same, I'm going to go back to physcial media and reclaim my life, my time, and real ownership over the media I pay for.
