Ratings and reviews

As many other reviews mention, the app crashes all the time and doesn't do a good job of keeping your place when you do pause it. I also will see an app notification pop up in my notification bar, but then when I click on it to go to the app to see the whole thing, the announcement can't be found. Even when I try searching for one of the key word. I just got an announcement stating there was a Clancey trial breakdown available but it's not showing now. and when I searched the name, no results.

Review of the App NOT the podcast. The podcast is amazing with a great cause behind it. The app is so glitchy though. Every single time I play an episode it randomly pauses, usually around 10 minutes in and I can't start playing. I have to completely close the app and restart it, then it didn't even save where I was in the episode so I have to try to fast-forward. It also doesn't play episodes in order. If I have multiple new episodes and start the first it doesn't go to the next in line.

I really want to love the app, it's a great concept and when it works it's awesome to have. However, it constantly glitches where it'll stop playing audio, jump to a different episode and "play" that. The only way to get it to work again is completely closing out the app. Super frustrating when you're running or doing dishes and can't just mess with the app for a couple minutes. It's rare to be able to listen to a full episode without needing to restart the app at some point.
