Cons
Con Very slow searching through podcasts catalogs
Con Makes my iPhone hot when using with associated battery drain (iPhone 11 Pro)
Still not fixed in iOS 17. Finally have to give up on this app.
Con Random shutdowns
A few people have issues with the app randomly deciding to shut down or not starting.
Con No cloud sync
A glaring missing feature is that there is no cloud sync for the app, so any podcasts added to one device will not be able to be brought over to another. This can be time consuming for users who use multiple devices in that they would need to individually add their podcasts one by one to each install.
