Another very disappointed person. Fabulous content, but the player is just hopeless; it's hard to list all the things, there are too many, making it the single most unpleasant media player I've ever used. Sifting through the content is buggy, searching is zany, heaven knows what makes it decide you had a hit--and when you find something to listen to and add it to the queue, the list goes crazy and eventually you're all the back at the beginning of the long largely irrelevant list, and on and on.

Echoing what others have said here - content is pretty good, but the app is really a complete dealbreaker. On a technical side - very laggy and slow on the UI, randomly stutters and pauses the audio all the time, loses my place when I return to it and I'm not convinced the "add to queue" ever worked for me. On the UX side it's better but not great - I wish there was a way to hide things I'm not interested in or have already listened to because half of my time is scrolling through repeats.

I came to this app after Audm shutdown. As others have mentioned, the content is generally good, but the user interface is not. One has to constantly battle with it to not repeat, to navigate, and to search. It's also a bummer that you can't see the text of the article itself! The app doesn't save where you left off on an article and always prompts you to login, even though you're already logged in...
