Despite significant upgrades, this app still has problems. I can now subscribe to podcasts, which is nice, but auto-download doesn't work. Also, the app doesn't work with Android Auto, so I can no longer listen in my car. That's a huge negative, since that's where I do most of my podcast/radio listening.

Very frustrating app! It works fine when listening to catch-up shows that have finished. But when pausing and rewinding LIVE radio shows it's a nightmare and rarely works. The skip forward/backwards buttons often don't do anything, neither does scrolling the 'progress bar'. I try deleting cache and restarting the app but it doesn't help. Hope there will be a fix for this soon!

Increasingly unstable. The app closes for no reason at least once a day, live radio video broadcasts crash through transmission. Podcasts will suddenly lose all sound. Considering the size of the organisation and how long people have had these issues, I am surprised it's still not improving. On radio broadcasts with full video (I.e Moyles birthday show) it was impossible to watch as the video crashed every few minutes.
