I've used this app for years and have been very happy with it. However, recently, something must have changed about the way ads are set up because it's constant interruptions now, playing much louder than the actual podcast. Not only is this incredibly jarring, but I'd wager, dangerous while driving. It's also always the same two ads playing over and over, which, contrary to what I learned in marketing class, makes me despise the companies. Shame to have to consider another app!

Did this issue occur with every podcast or just a specific one? If a specific one, would you please let us know the podcast title and episode title?

It's ok but not great. Podcasts in my playlist play in the order they are added to the list rather than in the playlist order after I've reordered them which is frustrating. Sometimes it doesn't play the next podcast in the list after the previous podcast had finished. It's not particularly intuitive to use. It took me a long time to remember where to find my playlist. The icons aren't that clear. I much preferred the Google podcast app and am disappointed it's being discontinued.

Autodownloads (default) used up 27GB on my phone so I turned off. Had to uninstall/reinstall to reclaim space. Unfortunately manual downloads are really poor. If interrupted by network connection dropping they will never complete. Have to remove and start again. Incredibly clunky app with very bad default settings. It appears that you can't download a podcast episode unless you're subscribed to it, but it doesn't give an error, it just sits in the "Downloading" list on 0%.
