I just changed my previous 5 star rating, which was based on the user interface and ease of use. Lately the podcasts keep pausing and gibberish comes through the speaker - even after closing the app. Also, I rarely have my mobile data turned on, and the one day that I had it on this month, this app used 191 MB! It was only on for a few hours! Based on my settings of using only Wi-Fi, that number should be zero. Please fix this. Until then, I'll find another app to use.

Thanks for the update. PlayerFM supports offline listening, so data use should be limited with Wi-Fi-only settings. Please check that auto-download and streaming are set to Wi-Fi only, and restrict background data. For the pausing issue, let us know if it affects all shows. Contact us via Settings > About > Contact Us.

Used to be the best podcast app. It was free, no ads, simple, lightweight. It's none of those things anymore. Every update makes it worse. Constant spamming to make a purchase every single time app is opened. Automatically opened some VERY suspicious looking ads in my browser window when I wasn't even touching my phone. That one was absolutely the last straw for me. Done with this app for good. Should have dropped it long ago

I'm going to have to delete the app. In the last few weeks, my podcasts pause playing and I get a "chittering" sound, like talking at high speed. I have to then hit play again. It's too much of a distraction while I'm driving. I've tried every setting and nothing stops it from continuously happening.
