The app may or may not display the button to cast the podcast to my Nest speakers. It's very annoying. Sometimes the button is there, and sometimes it isn't. It also gave no warning when it wasn't downloading podcasts. I removed app, reinstalled, and at least got it to download. But it does not automatically download even though I've pressed every possible button on overall settings and individual channel settings. Honestly, it's too complicated. There should be one button, not seven.

I used podkicker for about 12 years. I deleted it today. The free version had been overrun with podkicker's own ads/upselling the pro version and it's become too much hassle to continue to use. For the past 2 weeks, every time I open the app (or switch to it if it's already open) it displays a full-screen ad for the pro version, and then you have to wait for the "not now" button to pop up. Then you have to close a half-page ad for the same thing. You had a good thing and you squandered it.

Have had this app for a number of years and listen to podcasts daily. Does the job really well. Simple and straightforward. The only "glitch" that I've come across is the integration with chromecasting and how you can't chromecast halfway through an episode. You just have to select the chromecast device prior to starting an episode. All in all, a pretty minor thing. Good app.
