I like this app in general, but the new update is bad. The app no longer opens when clicking on the player from the notifications panel. You can't play directly from the downloads list anymore. You have to click into the description, which doesn't have a progress meter or any way to click into a progress meter. I can't imagine why that would be a desirable change. I do like that this app can be set to not use any data & can be set to play just one episode instead of running through a playlist.

Thanks very much for your feedback. This bug has already been fixed in the latest beta version. You can join the beta program in the Play Store and then update to the latest beta version to get the fix now or wait for the next release.

Latest update killed it - please fix asap. Until then I was figuring it out and enjoying it very much. I sure hope they can fix it. Update: They told me it was because I had too many episodes in my unplayed list. So I went to the app and it's working again. I'm not sure how to address this. I feel like every podcast I listen to should be able to be in the list - even the old episodes. So, I'm trying to play with the settings. We'll see.

I like the app, have been a user for nearly a decade but new update is bad, lowering rating from 5*. New navigation layout is different - can't get the display to fully emulate look prior to update. There are glitches when playing episodes - sometimes doesn't play. Change to controls - no longer remembers location, when go to podcasts subscription list then back to downloaded list, returns to top of list instead of podcast playing location. Appears to increase in battery drain.
