Been using the free player for over a decade across multiple phones. Used to love it as the free version met most of my needs. However, the app quality has dropped tremendously over the last few months. I got used to the constant ads to upgrade every time I opened the app, but now it consistently loses my place in my podcast when I pause or switch headsets. I can't even scroll in the UI in some podcasts any even though the episode is downloaded. Now I'm on the hunt for a new podcast app.

App has gone downhill. Constant pop ups to subscribe. Not sure if there was an update recently but it started downloading/streaming podcasts without my knowledge (has always been set to only stream or download on wifi) causing a huge spike in my data usage that I didn't notice until I got a huge bill. Now the player controls are covered by the Android navigation buttons and I can't remove them. If you want me to pay for it, this isn't the way. Might be time for a new podcast player

This was the best podcast player I could find several years ago. It had banner ads and some other quirks, but for the most part, it was the only thing I could find that came close to what I was looking for. Now, however, the number of ads and other things I have to close every single time I open the app is almost unbearable. And then they have another pop-up asking for a review 😒. Consider paying for premium, but it's too high and subscription. Update, It got even worse. Found AntennaPod. Bye👋
