It's OK. Biggest gripe is that it skips back a couple minutes at the podcast at some point and then cuts it off at the end before it finishes, I'm guessing the cut off is the same as the amount skips back. Also, could use a feature to add stuff to the top of queue instead of always to the bottom.

Interface is overall amazing, but playback issues are hard to deal with. If I stream podcasts instead of downloading them, they randomly skip back and forth a few seconds, accompanied by an almost record scratch sound. And however much time gets replayed gets cut off the end. I want to stick with this, because it's the best interface I could ask for. But the skipping around randomly is getting unbearable.

I installed this to replace Google Podcasts. It is better in many ways than Google's glitchy, long abandoned app. There are some random errors in playback towards the ends of episodes, but it's not a big deal. What is becoming a problem is AntennaPod completely shutting down almost every time I open another app. I really appreciate the updates and new features, but there are still things that need to be fixed.
