## Review summary

Reviews show the app is generally easy to use with a clean interface and a wide podcast catalog, but users report several persistent problems. The most common complaints focus on intrusive ads and difficulty for creators to upload or publish episodes (including Create), plus offline download problems and unreliable playback due to crashes or interruptions. Some users also mention search or account issues, but these are less frequent. Overall, the app is usable and feature-rich, especially for listening and discovering podcasts, but reliability and monetization annoyance sap the user experience until fixes address upload, offline, and stability concerns.

### Pros

- Well organized and easy to use
- Clean interface with a broad catalog of podcasts
- User-friendly for recording and listening

### Cons

- Intrusive ads / too many ads interrupt listening
- Problems uploading/publishing episodes (Spreaker Create); drafts abort
- Offline download issues / unreliable offline access
- Instability and crashes during playback or interruptions
