Buggy. App will randomly shut down. Biggest problem is maneuvering through the app. Very confusing. Also, there is no feature to add an episode to the que. It only adds to Playlist. And why on earth does the que keep changing? Incredibly confusing and makes no sense. Playlist seems to randomly change from time to time and will play old episodes I already listened to. This app is all over the place.

Podcasts now, almost 3/4 of the way thru, skip and return to about 1/2 way into the podcast. There's no way to undo this. Even after turning off the app and then returning it continues to do this. And can't skip to the end because the podcast says 0 minutes/seconds left but the podcast continues for 20 minutes after (and I've had to hear 15 minutes at least repeated). Not sure what is happening but a fix would be appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Did you receive the app’s notifications for new episodes and turn on Auto Download New Episodes on the app Settings?

This is my favorite podcast app - it does the job and nothing else, it doesn't push things I don't care about at me, the interface is clean. A few months ago it started spontaneously pausing every ~30 seconds or so if I'm using any other app while it runs in the background. I often play games to help me focus on the audio, so this is untenable. I did try sending feedback as they've instructed here, but that doesn't seem to function either. Bummer.
