User Reviews

The app is praised for its broad library of podcasts and radio stations, good sound quality, and an intuitive interface that's handy for catching up on shows. However, many reviews report reliability and performance problems: frequent crashes after updates, playback/download failures, sign-in issues, heavy battery drain, and limited international content. These recurring concerns tend to overshadow the positives for a number of users.
