Update- The app has had an issue for over a year now with no fix. It randomly skips backwards sometimes 2-3 full minutes and replays some that. Then it skips forward and I miss out on what was said. Also, old episodes revert to new often. Not too happy. "I absolutely love the app! A few new bugs since the last update, already messaged the developer. They're very responsive so I'm sure it will get fixed quickly. This is one of the few commodity apps that I use daily, its truly entertaining."

I used to love this app, but lately (last couple months) it stops playing in the middle of an episode and then gives an error that the episode can not be found. At first, I thought it was the podcast that I was listening to. I now realize that it's the app, as it has happened during multiple different podcasts. SO FRUSTRATING! I am looking for a new app. ☹️

I used to like this app and used it exclusively to listen to podcast. But in the last couple of months it will very often stop an episode abruptly somewhere in the middle and show a message that says "episode not found." I suspect it's a problem with the app and not the podcast itself because when I go to another podcast app and play that same episode, it plays just fine all the way to the end. EDIT 9/29/22 No change. Many problems. I'm switching every podcast I'm able to Stitcher.
