Scam
I signed up for a free trial and canceled immediately so I wouldn't get charged. I got charged at the end of my “free” trial anyway. Enjoy the $4 you stole from me.

Despite what the app says, paying the annual subscription does not prevent you from seeing ads. When I contacted the developer, they said that what I was seeing are "promotions", not advertisements. What a joke.

The ads have become INTOLERABLE
I've used this app for over 7 years from the time I had an android and even now I have an iPhone. It had always been the most useful podcast app. NO LONGER!!! I open the app and EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE SCREEN AN ADD POPS UP! Not even an exaggeration! I open the app - ad. I tap my library button - ad. I select a podcast - ad. It absolutely atrocious and has become UNUSABLE. I came to see if others are struggling as well and many agree. Yet all the responses from the developers say we strive to have a balance of ads. REALLY??? NOTHING about this is balanced. I'm SUPREMELY DISAPPOINTED that an app I've used and enjoyed for years has fallen this way.

Two big faults
1 st thing it does is shoves a bunch recommendations in your face. Second thing is it makes you create an account. I just to play some podcast. I should t have to login
Android

Cannot shut off autoplay. Doesn't have all the podcasts I want. It looks cheap. The user interface isn't great. Ads are fine, but they just sort of shove them into the screen. It's clunky.

Literal fraud
I signed up for a free trial and canceled immediately so I wouldn't get charged. I got charged at the end of my “free” trial anyway. I disputed the charge with Apple and the app developers lied and said it was a legitimate charge, forcing me to do a chargeback. Don't download this scammy app!
