Used to work just fine for the last few years, but since 2 or 3 Months the App completely refuses to start playing downloaded episodes without having a stable internet connection and therefore no longer fullfils the purpose of an "Offline Podcast App". Reinstalling didn't change anything, so I guess its time to find a new one. My guess would be, that this was purposefully implemented by the developers as reaction to the ads failing to load. But either way, the App has practically become unusable

I tried numerous podcast apps all over the years but was never really satisfied, always too clumsy, too slow, not intuitive, bothering advertisements. This app here is what I have been looking for, clean surface, nice design, very intuitive. My only complaint is that it does not work in China, only with VPN. UPDATE (May 2020): They didn't fix the China problem. Now with ads and breathtakingly greedy subscription. Why do they always have to ruin their apps? I'll find another one for me.

Ozhibii - The app itself does work in China, but some podcasts may not be accessible due to restrictions being set in that country. We'd love to make the podcasts available anywhere for you, but such restrictions are something we have no control over. We ask for your understanding on this.

Was the best podcast app for years, but after the last update it got very annoying ads.. you're destroying your perfect app for me and everyone else.. get another solution. Sorry but I don't get a monthly subscription... And how's idea was it to place a banner at the bottom of the main menu.. I guess that you accidentally click on it.. that a no-go for me! Also moving ads are very distracting.. I would pay a small one time fee to get rid of all ads, but not a monthly subscription.. bye

Hi Vincent - We hear you! You can now enjoy an ads-free experience at a more affordable price. For more info, simply tap on the X button beside the banner ads (found below the app's screen). Happy podcasting!
