I find this app quite frustrating. If it's front end was designed a bit more competently, it could be a great app. There's apparently no way to make a queue, other than making a "Playlist of your favorite episodes", which is just weird, it's PC integration is horrible, and intended for uploading original podcasts, not listening to existing ones. There's no way to limit the number of episodes in your pre-built "new" Playlist of all followed podcasts, causing hourly news pods to stack up. Almost.

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

Autoplay goes to the older content rather than playing new content, making it frustrating to enjoy a narrative based podcast when it plays the previous episode after one is done. UI and notifications for new episodes is alright, and clicking the follow button let's you download what you want, if you want as things come out. But man, the auto play sucks. Also, there's no way to hide played episodes, which adds to the clutter when a show has 600 episodes.
