The sound is set too fast. I had to complain it was impossible to understand. Now they have a popup telling how to fix their error. It's hard to find the shows I was in the middle of even though I put it on pause. You have to remember the name. While listening programs tell you to tap your screen to listen more. Tap where? Why? What do they want me to tap? It's usually closed and when I open it, no clue what they want touched. Some shows just roll on to another. Others I realize after the sound

2024-09-12; playback is archaic. should have a back button that serves as history like browser and forward but that doubles as playlist and queue... in one place. designers need to stop putting options in every corner they can find like a hoarder at the same time have an anemic controls. if you can't decide just put a toggle for advanced vs simple controls. take off the black turtleneck! much potential to lead the industry beyond a radio interface.

The content is good, but the ux is terrible. Not sure what kind of people are in charge of ux. Previously one click can delete all the downloads but now the app added an "edit" button and you need to "save" before you can get out of the delete function. Secondly, you can't delete a downloaded piece if you are offline? Who thought of that?
