Great app I’ve been using for years l

Love the app but newest version still has issues when changing to another podcast stream. Won’t play audio until restart app.
Also why is the indicator for being done and played a podcast the same as unplayed- an open circle? Does not make sense. Was fine before. Why change it.

Love the app

Great app I’ve been using for years but now not as good

Love this app but so many bugs now. Even with the update having issues where podcasts don’t play (stream) until restart. Also progress circle is bugged and doesn’t accurately show how far into an episode it is now when I’m looking at previously played things. Hope it gets fixed fast.

Years of enjoyment

I have been using this podcast app daily for over 10 years. I love the flexibility of options and love setting up playlists for my work day.

Best podcast app!!

I love iCatcher! and have been using it religiously for years for all of my podcasts.

My only little complaint is with the recent UI update where it’s really hard to tell if an episode has been watched. Something changed with the colors or shading where it used to be obvious, and now I have to study/compare next to another episode. :(

Update: I might be missing something, but now, yes, it’s easy to tell if an episode has been listened to, but it’s the same indication if I’m halfway through or fully listened. The little circle used to show how far I was in the episode and I loved that. :)

Thank you!!
