Ratings and reviews

Overall app works well. Good UI, reliable, nice selection. But two things keep me from giving it 5 stars. One: lots more ads, spammy popups and audio ads. Not great. Two, this is worse: it chews through data. Over the past 2 days it has used 283 MB of data, despite the fact that I have ONLY been listening to downloaded podcasts. And this STILL happens if I force it offline. I don't know how to make it stop draining my data on the go.

I've used this app for several years now and appreciate its user-friendly layout. I listen to a ton of podcasts, so I'm always on it. However, the search bar function is not great. There will be a podcast I'm looking for that I know is on all platforms but nothing at all will show up or it will only show up if you have the title capitalized exactly correct. What has really been bugging me is the ad at the top will open as if I tapped on it when I did not touch it all. Possible dealbreaker.

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.
