(Android 15) app is extremely unresponsive, episodes from various podcasts take ages to load, while other apps load content in the blink of an eye. The search function for finding podcasts is also garbage. Half the time it will show only episodes and not podcasts, even when doing a search like "serial", where I know there is a podcast of that name.

For over a decade, this review read simply "Works for everything I need." I've come back to edit it and drop my review from 5 stars to 2, because like most recent reviews I'm really disappointed in the decision to insert banner ads. i'm thinking of trying to find an APK of the previous version. I'd gladly use that forever - you don't need a subscription business model so you can fund continued development, the app was great already.

I'll come back in a year to try again. Tried to bring over my 85 entry opml file. Success, but no subscriptions. Ran the import again and they showed up. Two larger podcasts don't have all their episodes listed - this is covered in a FAQ entry and requires me to contact support to fix. One of these caused the browser tab to hang, although it worked in another browser. Refreshes had a strange error message, and this went away. Another podcast, 2x/day BBC News, stopped updates 3 days ago.

What’s new
Bug fixes… yes, lots of them!
Casting to a device sometimes did nothing after a previous session was lost. That’s fixed. Playback pausing a few seconds after casting? Fixed that too.
Your phone deciding to back up the app and stop your podcast while listening? Not anymore.
We’ve also fixed issues with opening the app from widgets and notifications, downloads failing, and a few things in the car.
