Great but it freezes. once or twice per podcast it seems now and on some podcasts more than others it will stop playing and won't restart unless I shut down the app or select another podcast and play that and then go back to the original. seems a pretty recent book as it didn't happen when I used it in the past. I have cleared the cache and reinstalled and it still has the same issues.

App has recently stopped properly syncing listening progress between devices. Quite annoying to see a podcast with the progress bar part way through the episode, only for it to start at the beginning when one hits play 😩. Still can't stream to general DLNA devices (such as my Raspberry Pi running Volumio) which is annoying. Considering they massively hiked prices a couple of years ago, this feels like a big drop in quality.

That does sound really annoying! We'd like to check into this further. Please reach out via the app at Profile - Help & feedback - Contact Support - Get Support. Please include the type of devices you want to sync with. Thank you!

Generally I have found this app to be mostly ok. Quite often a podcast will repeat a short section. This is mildly annoying, but occasionally after such a repeat the podcast stops before the end. It is as if the running time has already been set, and since the repeated section used up extra time, the app ends the podcast at the designated time, even though presenters are still speaking. There seems to be no way to listen to that missing final section.

What’s new
Stay in the loop with our new What’s New feed! Find announcements from the Pocket Casts team right on your Profile tab. Your read messages sync across devices when you’re signed in. We also polished Profile navigation and fixed a couple of crashes, including one on Android 8.0. Less crashing, more casting.
