Echoing what others have said here - content is pretty good, but the app is really a complete dealbreaker. On a technical side - very laggy and slow on the UI, randomly stutters and pauses the audio all the time, loses my place when I return to it and I'm not convinced the "add to queue" ever worked for me. On the UX side it's better but not great - I wish there was a way to hide things I'm not interested in or have already listened to because half of my time is scrolling through repeats.

I came to this app after Audm shutdown. As others have mentioned, the content is generally good, but the user interface is not. One has to constantly battle with it to not repeat, to navigate, and to search. It's also a bummer that you can't see the text of the article itself! The app doesn't save where you left off on an article and always prompts you to login, even though you're already logged in...

As others have said, the content is good, but the app is terrible. Often I will be waiting so long for the app to open that a full song will go by on my itunes. If not that, during scrolling the newest selections, it will randomly make you start from the beginning of the selection list. And yes, I have updated the app and it hasn't improved. Beyond frustrating.
