Contact Podcast App Support

I submitted this feedback to the developers as well, but received no response. I pay for cellular data by the gig, so the first thing I did after downloading the app was use the app's settings to turn cellular data off for downloads and streaming. Still (with those settings off), the app used 1.4gb of data overnight downloading podcasts. As someone who is meticulous about data consumption, this was an unacceptable surprise.
Separately, I experienced other buggy issues. When another podcast automatically starts after one has concluded, the audio was always silent. I had to pause and unpause in order to hear the podcast. Also, while I could unpause podcasts using my Bluetooth controls, I could not pause podcasts using the controls. This is something I only experienced in this app, and it never occurs when using another audio app.
Given the bugs and the unacceptable behavior of the app's settings, this is a 1 star app that I can't recommend to anyone. Deleted.

This thing is riddled with holes that should have never made it to 1.0.0:

- When selecting things, "select all / select none" options are part of basic UI. None here.

- Filters aren't sufficient--want to select OUT episodes that you've downloaded so that you can, you know, select-all (missing) and downlaod everything that you've not downloaded? Yeah, not with this app.

- UI has lots of issues and conveys insufficient information to users--when "something happens" to a bunch of downloads, the right way to try to recover is NOT to just barf up a modal with the text, "download failure." That's inexusably-bad.

- Certainly for what it is, it's MILES too expensive. I paid $60 for this steaming heap? Yikes. Don't be like me, don't do that until these bugs are fixed.

Running version 4.1.2.
Podurama has so much potential. All of the features most people are looking for are included in this app. The only issue is that CarPlay never works properly. I have been trying to enjoy this app for many months, but CarPlay is always a problem. Every update seems to bring CarPlay “fixes” (including 4.1.2), but this is never the case. Podurama does not open in CarPlay. It either is a blank screen or the vehicle screen reads “unable to connect to Podurama”. The Podurama app recomends opening Podurama on your phone and “checking CarPlay now”. I have tried opening the Podurama app before connecting to CarPlay and while being connected to CarPlay. This works maybe 40% of the time (on the occasions that it does work, it takes a good 10 to 20 seconds for the app to load onto the screen). It is not a fix and is also quite dangerous if you need to turn on your phone and open Podurama while driving. This defeats the safety and purpose of CarPlay. I am driving a 2023 Kia Sportage. I have also replicated this issue in three other vehicle makes and models. It is not an issue for Apple Podcasts or for Overcast which gives me hope that this issue can be fixed for Podurama.
