The app handles streaming and rewinding perfectly fine, but when looking at a podcast, loading the list of past episodes is painfully slow on even relatively new devices. It needs to enable some kind of pagination mechanism, maybe loading 50 at a time or something. It seems to be attempting to load every episode of whatever podcast you’re browsing, which will get slower over time. I knocked off a star for that.

Love this station but the app is really frustrating. It seems to work fine and then for no reason it just drops connection. Please sort this out.
