It's just usable. DOES NOT WORK OFFLINE!Nothing will replace google podcasts nor Spotify. It works best on wifi. Absolutely maddening trying to stream or download anything. Successful 10% of the time all the time. You can't search for anything. Importing new podcasts is difficult if not RSS. It's a second or third tier podcast app. At least there is no annoying ads that are all left leaning ( that's you podcast addict), and does not download unwanted files or spyware (podcast addict).

Hi Sinatra, I'm sorry for the trouble. We have critical fixes for episode downloads and streaming coming out in v4.16.2 this week. If you're still willing to try Podverse, we would really appreciate if you could let us know if v4.16.2 resolves the offline issues for you. Our email address is contact@podverse.fm. Thanks for your feedback.

Update 2: queue is now busted. I really wanted to like this but no offline play and no queues makes this app useless. In addition when using waze it wont pause when waze gives direction. Wanted this to work so bad. Update: OffLine play doesn't work. I love the podcasting 2.0 features, but because it can't play an MP3 file while not connected to the internet, it is severely broken.

Update: sorry, it appears I did in fact break the queue feature for about 24 hours. We're deploying a new auto play feature in a new release, and some changes I made to related to it broke that. Can you retest the queue and let us know if it is fixed? Also, version 4.15.0 should be out in a few days and hopefully have a fix for downloaded episodes.

Its sooooo slow!!! Loading/streaming apps can easily take 15 sec to respond to just open a podcast channel and another 15 sec to start playing. AD management is trash. Constantly skipping large sections of a podcast, backtracking or even ending minutes early. Rewinding also seems to mess this up horribly as well. Super slow to load new episode lists of podcasts. I don't really enjoy the UI but it is what it is and I manage. I still miss Goggle Podcasts but I've stuck with this one the longest.
