I found this gem of a podcast app. quite accidentally and am very impressed with it. Among other ways you can "personalize" it, is the ability (in Settings) to *skip* as many seconds as you prefer both at the beginning and end of a podcast. After I've listened to one Episode of a number of podcasts, I usually *skip* the first 45-60 seconds. In general I *skip* the last 30 as well. I have not seen this ability within a y other podcast app. and I appreciate it. Thank you

Editing my review because the problem has been fixed. Thanks for the update. I am another person trying to find a Google podcast replacement and this one is fine. I wish the list of new episodes that are available was a bit easier to access. For example, why does it open to the discover page? The number of times I'm opening the app to look for a new podcast has to be 1 for every at least 100 times I'm opening to listen to the podcasts I'm subscribed to. I open the app and it takes me three taps

Would you please update to the latest version (9.3.9) of the Podbean app to see if the issue still occurs?

Since other big music apps are shutting down, i tried a ton of alternatives. The (cheap) paid version here runs stable, catches all the shows i like, and has a clean UI that's easy to navigate. Also, the paid version is cheaper than the big brand apps in the long term, something i value since I'm a veteran with a fixed income.
