Have been a for years and the functionality is great but the battery drain/usage has gotten out of control. It simply uses far more battery than it should when in background regardless if whether you are actually listening to anything or not. Since you have to disable optimization and allow background usage to get it to not cut out you're completely stuck with whatever code the developers write, regardless of it's any good. This needs urgent work.

Design of the app is fairly good, but it has several problems. 1) You either can't, or I can't figure out how to, select an episode to play next. I suppose you could make a playlist, but I shouldn't need 100s of playlists to listen to multi-episode topics in order. 2) Sometimes episodes abruptly end, marked as done, so I have to find where I was; it doesn't know, because it's marked as finished. 3) SO. MANY. ADS. Holy hell, 5+ minutes straight sometimes!! Like, Jesus, it's so excessive!!

I used this app for years longer than I should have just because I already had all my favorite podcasts saved on it and didn't feel like switching. You can literally not listen to one episode without having the episode suddenly either skip ahead or skip backwards at some point. This isn't an issue with the UI, it's literally that something happens when the episode is being ed to the platform so content gets skipped over or repeated. Every. Single. Episode. I'm so happy I switched.

Pretty meh. It often takes an odd amount of time to load podcasts. I'll press the play button and be waiting 20 seconds while it's "loading" before it plays. In 2024 even a movie doesn't take that long to load and start so a podcast certainly shouldn't. It also randomly just stops the podcasts, often when I shrink down (not close) the app, despite the fact they're supposed to play in the background. ing a different app for sure.

The ads have disrupted the experience so much for me. You cannot click the x to dismiss them and instead are forced to navigate to the ad page. Click to go back and the ad is still showing. I have to close the app and reopen it before I can use it. There are banner ads everywhere, including the play page, but I guess those non intrusive ads were not enough.

NEW REVIEW: I've been using this app for 6 years and it's recently become unbearable. The ads are so intrusive and the close buttons so hard to find that it's impossible to navigate sitting on the couch without opening the ads, let alone doing it while traveling. I end up force quitting and reopening to close the ads, but more and more I just avoid the app and use something else.

Great for sailing the high seas of the podcast world! Lately the search function (within podcasts) doesn't work at all, and there are crucial features like a queue which are nowhere on the horizon. Still, getting to listen to paid podcasts for free is invaluable and without the UI problems this would be an easy 5-stars.

1/13/25 Update with something totally different. Over the past many months when ads come on I'm supposed to tap an x. Often it was actually responding as if I wanted to proceed to the app or whatever was being d. I thought I was just clumsy. But then I started being very careful that my finger touched on the x. However, very often it still takes me to that destination instead of returning me to castbox. I'm on a Pixel 3. That could be part of it. But as of now, I'm doubting the company.
