Force subscriptions are just rude!

I enjoy this app on a daily basis, but i give it one star just to show my frustration with how the app keeps subscribing to podcasts for me without my consent.

Great until ads took over

I really loved using this app. I like how I could create playlists and I thought the app was easy to use. However, recently they started putting ads with timers on certain pages! So now when I click on the Downloads tab, I get an ad that I have to wait 7 seconds for until I can cancel the ad and continue to the page. This is so disruptive that I’ve decided to go back to using Apple Podcasts app instead. What a bummer!!
