So far so good. Been using it for 1 day. I would love a little pop-out player like Google Music has. I like to stick it in the corner of my screen while I'm working so I can always hit the play/pause button easily. Also hotkeys would be nice.

Extremely inconvenient to play old episodes. The front-end is very mediocre and needs a complete revamp.

the instructions read "add podcasts from the feed management + menu). There is no such thing, and no plus sign - the app had no apparent means of use. I'm deleting it after 10 minutes.
