Keep crashing on me. I switched over since Google pod is shutting down and I've had to reopen the app 4x in the first 20 min of a pod. It's been downloaded so it shouldn't be a loading issue. Also I hate the giant ad over the cover art. I get ads but I enjoy seeing this week's art! Update: Crashes have minimized, I still hate that you cover the podcast ep art with ads. Like I get ads but put them somewhere else or allow us to see the art properly without having to go to the site directly.

I've tried multiple podcast apps over the past 5-6 years and this one has quickly become my favorite. Loving the app so far as it has most of what I'm looking for. So much so, that I already subscribed! Just would love the ability to limit downloads to the latest 2-3 episodes, and better filtering options for searching as categories are very broad. Also, as a multilingual person, it would help to be able to search by podcast language.

It's meh. Biggest problem, I've got to pay $10/year so I don't have to click three screens in order to see what's new. (In other words, the "discover" tab is the landing page by default. In order to change it to the podcasts I follow, there's an upcharge.) Apparently, the business strategy is to make an app that only works sort of well, and then ask us for money to make it work like it should.
