Content vs. Experience
TAL is one of my favorite podcasts, and so I jumped at the chance to get a $3 app to hear them all. I was disappointed to find that after owning it for over a year, and several updates, its still full of bugs.
1. New episodes are missing the thumbnail. It sounds small, but it affects the experience more than I would have thought.
2. You can only do the "10-second rewind" inside the app, not on the lock screen or from the control center.
3. There is no "10-second fast-forward". I find it needful from time to time. Its hard to scrub 60 minutes of content on a phone.
4. Some episodes wont play at all after downloaded.
I have found some issues can get resolved by deleting and redownloading, but, of course, all of the "heard it" progress is lost. I am reticent to do that.
I feel like I have encountered more issues than this, but these are the main ones.
Please fix!
