It is disappointing that the last few versions of this very welcome and useful app have become impossible due to random and frequent stopping. It is not fixed by reinstallation. Hope that the new version 8 promised soon fixes it. UPDATE NOW TRIED V8. Same problem. Randomly stops. First time after 20min, then after several minutes, repeatedly. ABC PLEASE FIX IT - WE WANT IT - IT'S GREAT WHILE IT'S WORKING!

1. They didn't respond to my feedback for past issues. 2. Last update deleted my custom list of downloads, they're GONE. After all their other issues, that was the final straw, took me a long time to put that together for travel!!! 3. Downloaded some episodes again, but can't find them in the new app 4. SOLUTION FOUND: I went back to the Tune-In radio app, so much more reliable than this. 4. Thanks NO THANKS for wasting my time.

No, you don't need my personal details. App has a habit of resetting itself every few days/weeks. The podcast length displayed is often incorrect. Similar live stream information as well as the time if you don't live in AEST. Difficult to navigate nearly all aspects of app. Once you get down 2 or 3 levels, the app gets lost. Similarly, you have to know what podcast you are searching for. $1B/year of tax payer money for a rubbish app and a propaganda/social engineering machine.
