Love it but problems

I love the interface and ease of finding shows and determining which uploaded version I want to listen to. I love that it caches recently listened to shows as I live in an area with no cell and poor internet.

There are however two problems, one major and one an annoyance. The major is the app runs very hot. So much so that last night my battery went to nearly zero percent because it wouldn’t charge due to my iPhone being too warm. I have found it to run warm on different iPhones. This is probably a game killer for me unfortunately.

The other issue is it seems to have an issue where it skips ahead and misses a song. I can manually go back to play it. It also seems to do this most frequently with Bobby songs.
