After importing an RSS link, three times out of four the preview image loads but the podcast episodes don’t. Furthermore, the vinyl-like image at the center sometimes assumes an ugly shape. Overall, the app is beautiful, but that is it. Everything else has to be improved, starting by responsiveness.
The app looks GREAT
And it has all the most needed functionalities, simple to use at the same time.
The freezing issue on re-opening is still there, really hope the developer didn’t abandon the project and will update for ios14 soon (widget would be great)
Great podcast app but freezes
Great design and functionality but when exit from the app and then re enter it freezes and I have to force close it.please solve that problem
Literally Abandoned
It started out as a great project but it literally got abandoned by the developer... feels unfinished, slow and not reliable as a podcast client.
Unfortunately it’s good look doesn’t bring much to the table when functionally wise it lacks so much.
