Probably the best podcast app, been a user for years. One small annoyance, unsure if this is a bug or new feature as it's only just started happening, but podcasts I have set to "play next" are now taking the place of any episodes I'm partway listening too, instead of next in the queue, so having to go into my queue and select the episode I was halfway through. Hoping just a bug cause it's kindof annoying

edit 3/8: OK, after reinstalls I'm more comfortable with the UI and remedied a few bugs, but it's still a mess. As a longtime user, the new UI is downright mind boggling. A Rosetta Stone to translate between the versions would be helpful. Beyond that, it's glitchy. For instance, I sub to the NPR news brief podcast. I only ever want the most recent in my up next. I changed settings that seemed to correspond (auto archive > ep limit) but up next is full of previous eps.

Great app, great features. Support was helpful when I had an issue with a patreon podcast, not wanting to play or update. Keep up the great work.
