Great work, terrible mobile interface
Great content, but the interface is lacking. On a mobile device you can only see a fragment of a podcast title with not option to expand the description. This has enough of an impact on usability to drop my rating despite the delightful content.
Yeah, really
Maybe I want to spend an hour and 4 minutes listening to "Launch of Wo...". Or maybe not, hard to tell without any information. Uninstall...
