I like many features of this app and keep coming back to it. However, when I mark an episode as played, that info is not saved indefinitely. That can be frustrating for long-running podcasts that have lots of episodes. I have reported this, and the problem still remains.monolog? The history only shows the past few days. I am referring to episodes listened to 2+ months ago. Once an episode is marked played it should stay that way. That's not happening.

Pretty good podcast app aside from two little gripes. Jumping back can take a number of seconds to work for some reason even though jumping forward takes no time at all, and I wish it was easy to see which episodes of a podcast I've listened to while scrolling through that podcasts list of episodes. You know, like a checkmark beside those episodes. That being said, this is the podcast app that I prefer above all others.

I get to listen to all my favorite podcasts. I'm editing my review to 2 stars. this app will randomly stop, all I have to do is press play to restart but I shouldn't have to do that. also it will just go to the end of the episode and spool. the fix for that is restart the app. currently looking for a new app.
