I had to knock my review down from 5 stars to 1 star, I'm sorry! It started loading slower (latest episodes, library, playlists, etc) and over several weeks became even slower. It can sometimes take 15-20 minutes to load a page. No other app has this problem, my connection is fine. Yesterday podcasts began stopping every 5 - 10 minutes. I have to keep re-hitting play. That's inconvenient if I'm listening while doing something else. It used to be the perfect app. What happened???

Please open a support request from the left nav (feedback / support) and I can take a look. That's the best way to deal with issues like this and we can almost always resolve them.

Mixed feelings on this app. I love the playlist feature and offline option. However, you cannot close the player. I cannot get rid of it when it's not in use. It disappears then a few seconds later its back. Then sometimes when I'm actually using it, it disappears and shuts down. So completely the wrong way around. Time will tell if this is too annoying or if the positive features can offset the usability issues.

It's okay 😐 , I like most of the app ... except it never rarely puts new podcasts on the app if I look online it shows me all podcasts for a certain author for example but when I got onto the podcast app it does not put any new ones on there so it get boring quite quickly listening to the same pod casts over and over 😐 . Be nice if they added more podcasts definitely won't be upgrading now I was thinking of it .

I'm not sure how you are trying to find new podcasts, but we support two search engines (iTunes and The Podcast Index) and both cover millions of podcasts, and these include the newest podcasts as well. Please reach out to us in support/feedback if you like more details or any help at all. We are happy to provide.
