Go to hell

I hate developers so much, you are all terrible people who have no conscience or the ability to empathize. And this app is one of the reasons.

W?without a “ nickname” ?

Not loading all my shows

I’ve used the app for years and love it. But recently my feed has been seriously delayed and/or not loading new episodes. I still love this app and refuse to use Apple or Spotify for podcasts because they’re trash.

Won’t stop asking me to login

Got this to share my podcast via RSS feed.
Have now done this eight times. Each time getting a little pop up confirmation, sharing my phone number, claiming my podcast and still it just stops. Confirms claimed podcast then just stops and fails to proceed.
Sort this nonsense out
