PAY ATTENTION! Users agree: this app sucks Podast will periodically stop.. hear what sounds like a disclaimer played at 10x speed. can you give me one good reason not to use Spotify instead? Previously: fixed something, and app was working fine for most of a year. And now more ads than ever.... Previously: ...disturbing and suspicious: the annoying ad banners started clicking on themselves! Original review: Many features, all for free... perfect podcast player, and my new favorite.....Nice work!

Used to be the best podcast app. It was free, no ads, simple, lightweight. It's none of those things anymore. Every update makes it worse. Constant spamming to make a purchase every single time app is opened. Automatically opened some VERY suspicious looking ads in my browser window when I wasn't even touching my phone. That one was absolutely the last straw for me. Done with this app for good. Should have dropped it long ago

I'm going to have to delete the app. In the last few weeks, my podcasts pause playing and I get a "chittering" sound, like talking at high speed. I have to then hit play again. It's too much of a distraction while I'm driving. I've tried every setting and nothing stops it from continuously happening.
