Great app with plenty of controls that would be five stars but it's very annoying to open the app and have to see a "featured podcast" pop up. I want to go straight to my content especially as a paying customer. Their support team says this is a feature for free or paid customers. Get rid of it or at least give us the option to turn it off!! I've had the app for over a year and this is a stupid "feature" they added recently.

Thanks for the review and the detailed feedback. Those pop-ups are highlighted shows shown to all users, and they should be easy to dismiss so you can get to your content quickly. We’re sharing your request for an option to turn them off for paying users with the team.

I've been using the free version for years with only minor issues, but recently it started pausing every time the ad at the top refreshes & playing 2-3 seconds of really fast talking (like at the end of some ads, only sped up so much I can't understand it). I have to unlock my phone and manually restart. It's super random, sometimes multiple times in a minute, other times I get maybe 10-15 minutes. Sent a message, no reply yet. Might be time to find a new app. 🫤

The latest update seems to have come with some bugs. In the last 3 hours the player stopped playing the selected podcast 7 times. I had to disable the play store because the player app would automatically open the play store every few minutes. Very annoying. Used to be great. I'll be looking for an alternative. Just a few months ago I'd have given this 5 stars.
