Playback and UI are fine, but I've been kind of horrified to find that it automatically subscribes you to sponsored podcasts!?! I've never seen another podcast app do this. I don't mind seeing ads for a free service, but I don't want to listen to some dumb random podcasts that are suddenly auto-added to my feed. It's bizarre enough that I've started to look for an alternative app. What a strange thing to do to your users!

I had to start using this app when Google killed their own podcast app. I tried a few but this was one of the better ones and miles better than YouTube music for podcasts. however, it isn't without it's issues. For one it will randomly not go to the next podcast in the queue. I will have to open the app and select it manually. It will also repeat old podcasts at times. This can be more than once even though that podcast isn't in the queue and is marked as played. So it's good but not great.

First time I used the App I was presented with numerous adverts then they had the cheek to ask me to rate the app. Maybe you should wait for your customers to have a chance to use the product before asking them their opinion. You cant even rate a single use item such a condom after one use, you would need 9 months to make sure the product worked. Stop glory hunting, remove some of the adverts and give your customers a chance.
