Podcast Player Customer Insights

1. It used to have the "back 10s" and "forward 30s" buttons, but these have been replaced with buttons that return to the start or skip to the next episode.I've enjoyed this Castbox app for a few years with no problems until recently.

2. While playing a podcast on my phone with the screen locked, it used to give me the option to skip forward 30 seconds and backward 10 seconds.

3. Well now I can't turn off so every time my bluetooth connects to a device zen start playing instead of the last episode I was listening to like in the past.

4. Perhaps my complaints are solved of you get the paid version of the app (which I wasn't aware of!) I get shown ads when I put on a podcast in the car, the moment i need fewer distractions.

5. Look elsewhere for a podcast app.Simplest feature-rich podcast app for Android I have tried! You don't need simpler because then you'll lose out on great features.

6. The ads popups require that one spend as much time closing them as navigating to a podcast channel even an episode.

7. You will not want that filling up your device if you have lots of subscriptions (I have many more than I listen to).I used this app for a few years now and have been very happy with it until recently when I checked out ZEN mode and quickly realized it wasn't for me.

8. Now, on lockscreen, it only gives options to skip forward to the next episode or backward to the beginning of this current episode.

9. I really wish it had the old skip features like it if used to.Free version isn't reliable.

10. I get that I use the free version, and ads are your revenue, but I shouldn't have to wade through multiple full-screen ads just to switch from one show to another.

11. Within the last 6 months, I've noticed my podcasts skipping backward regularly, and the ads have become ridiculous.
