The app is excellent and works really well for the most part, the only reason it loses a star is the failed downloads. I have times where the podcast I'm downloading is huge because it's a few hours long, and the download can get as close to 98% complete, it fails and then I have to redownload it from the start again. It happens enough for it to be a problem and it's never clear what causes it unless it's momentary blips in bandwidth? If that is the case then the downloads should pause not fail.

Its user experience and English localisation are truly poor, but Podcast Republic offers features that other Android podcast apps don't, especially around managing multiple playlists. So I've tried to get used to it. Which maybe I'd be able to, if it could at least perform the core function of... playing a podcast. But no, it often stops after a few seconds and I have to open the app to start playback again. And this is after changing the setting to allow unrestricted background battery usage.

I have been using this app for years and have had no problems until recently. In the last month or so it has been stopping playing randomly multiple times per episode. This seems to be even worse if I'm trying to use the sleep timer. It also keeps pausing my downloads for absolutely no reason, and I have to micromanage the download page in order to make sure a download completes.
