this podcast is great, one of my favorites. dark, audio footage from real interviews, court hearings, body cams. it's great. the app, SUCKSSSSSSS. Episodes will randomly stop, it will log you out for no reason, if a phone call comes in, the episodes will keep playing silently, leaving you to figure out where you left off. I understand losing money to people sharing a private rss, but I'd much rather listen in my preferred app.

like everyone else: this app constantly logs out, which is a major pain when you're a car listener; it doesn't save where you left of in an episode; and it randomly won't play over basic Bluetooth speakers. I get that it's tough to design your own app, but the first app was just fine -- at least it was functional. I'm going to unsubscribe at this point, as much as I love the content.

I love the podcast, but the app is unusable. I'm paying monthly for a podcast I can't listen to, because it stops *multiple* times per episode. When I hit play to get it going again, it restarts the episode EVERY TIME. For the record, I listen at home where I have super high speed internet, which is required for my job. No issues with anything but this app. I can't seek out the spot I left off at 20 times per episode while I'm trying to work. If this isn't resolved soon, I'll be unsubscribing.
