I've used Podkicker Prod for about 8 years now, and I've always loved the simple, user-friendly experience. But I paid up for an ad-free version, and now there are "sponsored" podcasts cluttering up my feed list. Not cool, guys. That, with along with a few bugs that haven't been fixed in years, is making me switch once and for all.

4/30/2024 I've been using this app for well over a decade. It used to be a joy to use, but now there are "sponsored" podcasts in the listing. I bought the Pro version to avoid ads! Also, the app no longer automatically goes to the next podcast. This is a royal pain in the rear, especially when I'm driving long distances. I see other users are having issues, and I'm going to check out their alternative app suggestions.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Veronica. We'd like to inform the issue on mass-deleting episodes is known to us and we resolved it. We aim to include the fix in the next version we'​ll roll out on Google Play soon. For your playback issue, please mail us at support@player.fm and share more info so we can further investigate. Cheers.

Great app, however. when it is playing, the controls are at the bottom of the screen and can't be moved. This means that if you navigate your phone using gestures, you can't help touching the podcast timeline whenever you try to return to the home screen. Podkicker, please improve your UX - either move the controls to somewhere else on the screen, or make them movable by the user!
