Finally made it easier to use

I had previously used PodBean as my "go-to" podcast app but the multiple "updates" made it so bad that I stopped using it for several months. I posted a review reflecting that and the devs messaged me that they had improved it and made it easier to navigate (for us old folks) so I gave it a try and it is easier. Thanks devs! Now leave it alone! LOL!

Useless feedback from creator

So the app only allows you to add new podcasts in the phone app not website. I prefer controling from website where I can download, remove ads and reupload to my phone. This app has become useless.

FOLLOW OVER AND OVER

I’ve been following the Kevin Kitzman has issues since it began, and without fail, I am constantly having to re-follow it like this app forgets that I’m even following it. It’s ridiculous. Also, more than half the time this app does not interact well with Apple CarPlay.
