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.

With my limited use, the good: 1) It works 2) Really simply interface that's easy to work with. Saying that, I won't be using it for now because it's ridiculously inconvenient to get to past episodes. One of my podcasts is on episode 70, and I'm only on episode 20. Some of the podcasts I listen to have hundred of episodes and I simply won't click hundreds of times until I get to the episode I'm on. This is really a deal breaker. If it had an easy way to get to past episodes (even if it didn't autoplay them in order) this app would get five stars. Did not try the syncing feature with other computers, but I like that this is possible. Also having a way to sync with Android would be killer as that is my primary podcasting device.

2016-04-24 Jennifer Redmond You can't click to listen to historic episodes in order from the first episode.....?
2016-02-16 Mika Hämäläinen Didn't get it to work at all. Clicking '+' doesn't do anything. The UI is fine, so 2 stars for the effort.
