Ads that cannot be closedI love this app, listen to it all the time however fullscreen adverts appear, don’t mind that, that cannot be closed no matter how long you wait. The only thing to do is close the app and reopen or click on the advert and it opens an unknown link, which isnt a great security feature. Leaving a 1* re…

TerribleAfter viewing an advertisement, it remains on the screen and cannot be removed. And there is no sleep timer using my new iPad mini. Terrible app!

Wanted to break phoneTook me two days to figure out why a podcast plays automatically when I start my Vehicle and I can’t ever get it to shut off. I finally had to delete the app to where it quit playing. I’m finding that it’s better to get rid of all these apps nothing but problems.

How a Podcast App Should BeSo much more intuitive and helpful to navigate, create playlists, and save podcast to listen to later than Apple Podcast or others I’ve tried. Thank you!
