Ruined by ads, bugs
Other than the smart suggestions for new programs, this app offers no competitive advantage on iOS for podcast audiences, and no purpose at all if youre interested in video episodes or any show notes containing links.
Sometimes the app launches with the "loading" image covering everything. Playback sometimes stops unexpectedly rather than continuing through the playlist. After playing an episode, it may still be marked as unplayed. Icons showing downloaded/played status dont display correctly. Thumbnails for cover art dont always display correctly. The app is not designed with iOS in mind, so it cannot seamlessly resume operation—it has to be launched and quit like an old-school desktop application. If you can overlook all these issues, and you can get used to seeing and hearing ads a whole lot, youll have a mediocre podcast app to enjoy.
