Podcast Player - Castbox - Latest Quality Issues

Everything is great, but why does the podcast only load on the mobile internet and on wifi not working?

The app periodically fails either to download new episodes or to stream them. It requires to fully stop the app and to clean the cache. Sometimes i had to resubscribe to the feed in order to fix that. I see no issues with the file system access in other apps so this is not the case. Please fix it.

I'll get ahead, took the scoring system for those who listen to podcast without warning, if they run an advertisement when the premium is over and I can not renew by the points system I delete the app immediately, be transparent and honest and communicate, if it happens without warning is a thing of bad character and profiteers!

It's been stopping for no reason lately. I will be listening to a episode and it will just stop or cut off then I will have to go back, open the app, go to the podcast, find the episode I was in the middle of, start it again and I'm a trucker so you see why this would be a problem.

Draining my battery like crazy even when not being used and not allowed to download. It downloads even when I've told it not to. Keeps opening itself in the background and "can't be put to sleep". Killing my battery, 30% of my battery usage today alone when the app is closed and hasn't been touched. This is insane.

Good but flawed
A good app, but with lots of ads and a lot of delay for synchronization between devices
Android

The Queue button (bottom left corner on the full page player screen) is often unclickable, and is absolutely frustrating since queue management is very important to me. Also why can't i queue items without a playlist? Part of it because there's no padding around the button so the hit rectangle is absolutely small. This is a problem with many other controls in the app.

Stop telling me to change my battery settings, subscribing me to podcasts I'm not interested in and stop randomly crashing. With the money you must make on ads, ie it seems I only have to look at my phone and an ad pops up, you could build a stable app.

Downloaded a lot of podcasts to listen to at work (no WiFi deep sea) and all of my podcasts disappeared. I won't be using this app again and would not recommend it to others.
