This newest version with the Giant Huge items in the playlist makes me think the developers had a super high resolution phone and didn't actually test it on other devices. It's pretty unusable now on the device I have. Time to go to apk mirror and downgrade. I'd rather see ads or go elsewhere then deal with only 3 on the screen at once in the list view. It makes organizing things absolutely impossible and useless

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Christopher. That's surely not how our app should behave. For us to investigate your issues, can you please mail us at support@player.fm and share more info, as well as a screenshot depicting the issue? We look forward to reading from you again soon. Cheers.

I really like Podkicker and have used it for years. I upgraded to the Pro version because it's ad-free. But with a recent update, ads have started appearing in the form of "sponsored" podcasts in the podcast view. Even more recently, the app started auto-subscribing me to the sponsored podcasts, which is so obnoxious. I've had enough and I switched to AntennaPod, which is great! I've been using it for about a month and am uninstalling Podkicker after I submit this review.

Ads in the premium experience 👎 I love this app - it's been my go to podcast player for nearly a decade now, I've recommended it to a dozen friends, and paid for the pro version because I hate ads and like supporting good developers. It's been stable and hasn't changed much, which is rare! The dev recently put ads in a couple of places in the paid version. I complained to support the first time thinking it was a mistake, and got no response. Time to find a new app.
