Stitcher has issues

I switched to Stitcher because Itunes is simply not user friendly and because Overcast (to me the best podcast app) suddenly stopped working. Stitcher is fine- easy enough to use and way better than Itunes. Two negatives- I can't get all the podcasts that either Itunes or Overcast offered ( a minor issue), but the biggest problem by far is how glitchy Stitcher is when playing pods. I NEVER experienced so many skips or repeats (like 10-15 seconds) with the other apps during playback. It happens multiple times in nearly every episode. It's just an annoyance when the episode jumps backwards 15 seconds and then keeps playing, but when it skips forward and you wonder what you missed it can be frustrating. That's my feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Please send your logs by going to Settings > Scroll to bottom > Send logs > Follow prompts. Thanks!

Also can’t search, so frustrating

I just looked at the app reviews and feel better knowing I am not the only person who cannot search for a title. I was also having an issue where the latest podcasts were not downloading. The only problem is in trying to troubleshoot my issue (refreshed cache), now I cannot access any of the podcasts I used to listen to.
I used to love Stitcher but I am now searching for a replacement app, after seeing the search issue seems to be ongoing and unresolved for many folks.

Love, but what is with this update

Hello, team Stitcher. I have been using your app for years and been very pleased with it. This should be a glowing 5-star review. The UI of other podcast apps are ugly, their controls are often unresponsive, and the apple native podcast is the most disorganized and unintuitive of all. And now that’s what I’m using, because stitcher basically just stopped working. I can play an episode, but not the most recent one, because those don’t refresh. The home screen doesn’t refresh, it gets stuck and the loading icon spins forever unless I change screens. The app is unusable, but I use to love it. Please fix it? I despise the Apple podcasts app. Please help me not use it.

Great podcast app, but annoying queue management

Really enjoy the layout of the app and the quick access to your podcasts. Annoyingly, the only way to queue up episodes is to use the "up-next" queue which puts episodes at the front instead of the end of the queue. I have to decide how many episodes I want listen to first, or else I need to reorganize them all back in order. I can't quickly add another episode to my queue either, I have to re-order it to the back every time.

The WORST app on my phone

It used to work fine, but something changed after the latest update(s), and now this app freezes nearly EVERY TIME I use it.
Nothing I’ve done has been able to resolve this issue, and it doesn’t resolve itself, so I have to constantly reinstall the app or restart my phone to get it to work again. It’s INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING, and it looks like this is happening with a lot of other users as well.
Stitcher Premium just isn’t worth it until they do something to fix this issue.
It freezes at least once a day, it’s ridiculous.
