This app has improved a great deal since I first reviewed it in 2011. Still has a fair number of quirks that can be frustrating, but overall I find it useful. I will say it has become reliably amusing that whenever there's an update, you always know right away because when something gets fixed, another feature mysteriously gets broken as a result. Since I do use this app daily, I appreciate that at least somebody's working on it.

STOP TELLING ME WHAT I WANT TO LISTEN TO! If I select a podcast, I want to hear the ENTIRE podcast, not just one segment, then the app does whatever it wants. One star until the app gives me what I want, not what NPR THINKS I want. I should also be able to favorite the podcasts I listen to frequently, like Morning Edition or All Things Considered, but the app doesn't allow this. Access to my playlist should be a top level choice, not require multiple selections. This is dangerous while driving.

Great experience when it works, but often doesn't work - buttons won't appear or clicking them will do nothing, menus won't load etc. Sometimes takes multiple phone restarts to fix the issue. Hard to troubleshoot while driving. I feel like an app designed in part to listen to in a car should place a higher premium on ease of use and reliability.
