horrible. doesn't download episodes even though I don't even want it to. I want to use mobile data but still makes everything download. then once downloaded it won't even play and it takes FOREVER to download. Constant ads. constantly stops randomly for no reason making me hit play again while driving. I have great internet its only this app that crashes. the only thing I miss about my iPhone was the podcast app.. with no ads no crashes no glitches no nothing. Will be looking for another app

Sorry. Please check your internet connection and if you have enough storage space. Please go to your phone Settings and turn off battery optimization for Podcast Player. Could you go to the app Settings > More > About > Contact us > Submit report via email and send the screen recording to support@castbox.fm when you meet the playback issue again?

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.

I liked this app at first. I even got the ad free version. Only it's not ad free! If I want to skip the ad, I can jump forward 30 seconds if I manually click that icon. But that's dangerous to do when I'm driving. So I get to listen to ads, even though I paid not to. Also, it just randomly stops playing sometimes and I have to manually click to restart. Again, dangerous when I'm driving. Thankfully I'm still in the 7 day trial before I'm billed so I can cancel. Too bad.
