It's pretty good, though I've found that a lot of my podcasts often repeat sections due to some bizarre glitch that has yet to be fixed.
This happens when you stream a podcast with automatically inserted ads of varying lengths. I assume the system swaps out an ad before you finish the stream, so your playback position gets shifted... The solution on any app is to download the full episode before playing.
I figured it was something to do with Sponsorblock or Adblock. Makes sense.
I wish we could block these ads! I've been thinking about how to build something that pulls multiple copies of the stream, compares the audio to identify the differences, then cuts out the bits that change - the ads. Someday...
I believe that's due to whatever ad services the creators use
Podcast Republic has the same issue.
Yes, fucking hell I thought it was just me. Lol
Right?! I also had this issue with Podcini and FocusPodcast. The only apps I've used that don't have this issue have been Podium and Podcast Guru.
