Complaint

Common complaints

  • Broken Continuous Playback & Queueing
    • There is no clear way to stop new episodes from all followed shows from adding themselves to a queue.
    • Continuous Playback On? Yes. Continuous Playback actually playing back? No!
  • Storage & Data Management
    • Slowly started ballooning my system data for no explainable reason. No podcasts downloaded and still almost 2Gb of space being used.
