I have used this app for many years and love all the customisation. I have taken off 2 stars because the play/pause button jumps around when waiting for the advert to be displayed. This is very annoying as you can accidentally click the wrong thing, so I am now close to switching to another app because of this.

I'm an English teacher and I use this app to play class audio. Works great so far, except for one thing: If I'm near the beginning of an episode (mp3) and I've paused playback and then I press "Rewind", nothing happens. EDIT: I clicked "Remove ads" and got a "click here to legally commit to buying this" sort of screen. And only AFTER I agreed to that, I was told the price. Fortunately, the price turned out super affordable so I paid it. But I'd appreciate it if the order of the two was reversed.

Thanks very much for your feedback. If the playback is paused then the 'Rewind' button does nothing. The in-app purchase is handled by Google Play service. It launches the standard Google Play Store in-app purchase procedure after you click on the 'Remove ads' button.

I love this podcasting app! It is so seamless with the automatic playlists, downloading, the ability to set different automatic play speeds and other settings for each different podcast. I feel like most of the time I just hit play and enjoy! I don't think about this podcast app much, even though I use it constantly, because it is so intuitive and automated once I set up the settings that the app itself just fades into the background and lets me just enjoy my listening. Truly phenomenal!
