Used it for a couple of months now, don't regret buying at all. Great UI and functionality, fast on a 4S and is very frequently updated with new features. Better than Apple's podcast app by an order of magnitude.
Please recompile!

I have been using Downcast for 15+ years. It has always been a perfect podcast player with all the functionality I need.However, over the past few years—and especially since upgrading to iOS 27—it has started crashing more and more often, particularly when managing playlists.Dear developer, please consider a recompilation of the app. I would even be willing to pay for the app again if that would help bring it back to the level of stability it once had.Thank you for keeping Downcast available!
Buggy and slow

After adding ~10 podcast feeds Downcast is really slow to sync and play podcasts. Has had no significant updates.
Good
