Podcast Player App - Castbox - Latest Quality Issues

Hello I cant see my podcast in personal and i cant upload my podcast or edited

With Google podcast being discontinued, I've been trying different podcast apps. I have rated Castbox at two stars given the huge battery drain. With the setting at ignore optimized, my battery is in constant drain in the background. I have been monitoring it and even at night in DND it continues to run in the background. It amazes me that I didn't see this as a constant complaint in the reviews. The battery drain is a deal breaker. I'll keep looking. Too bad Google's dropped podcasts.

Was very satisfied with Castbox for a long time. However, as often described here, the app has been showing so much advertising and so intrusive for some time that it is unfortunately no longer fun. Unfortunately, I will also look for an alternative.

Way too many ads!!!
I actually came here just to leave a review and I NEVER leave reviews. The ads are horrendous and getting more intrusive with every update. When I see an update I just know it's a new way to throw full screen ads in. I can't watch another timed ad with a snake chasing a king. Finding a new podcast app unfortunately because this one used to be great.

When the description said ad-supported I assumed that meant it would play occasional ads. Instead it adds new and unwelcome podcasts constantly to your subscription list. It doesn't even pop up as suggestions that you can accept or reject. It just automatically subscribes you without consent. It's impossible to pull up a subscribed to podcast through the app on Android Auto without unsafely scrolling through all the unasked for podcasts. The faster you delete them, the more are added.

Such an awful listening experience. It never deletes podcasts once you listen to them. And your playlist isn't what plays, it your next up, but your next up never saves the order you put it in. It's so disappointing. Sadly it's the second best podcast app out there.

Occasionally the app will not play the next download on my download list and will just repeat the same episode from the beginning. It's not consistent
