Been using this as my go to podcast app for ages now. The layout and user interface are perfect but there's one major issue that they still haven't fixed yet. There's an problem keeping track of what podcasts I've already listened to and sometimes not logging how far into a podcast I am and just looking like I've not listened to it at all. If it wasn't for this I'd highly recommend this app to everyone but it's been a long time now and it's still not working properly. Please fix it, thanks

Update: I have emailed, with a screenshot and an explanation, as requested. ******************** Generally a very good app, but like several other reviewers, I'm finding the bug with tracking played/unplayed episodes accurately is frustrating - and yes, I have been to the Following tab and checked that played episodes are being correctly logged. They are.

not bad but keeps cutting out. used it for years but always had the problem where podcasts randomly pause, and sometimes the app disappears from the top bar. tried upgrading, reinstalling, disabling downloads and auto delete, and disabling optimisation. happens more on certain podcasts than others. annoying so may have to find an alternative.
