Overtime errors have occued. I've had a number of errors occur none of them making any sense considering that I use Wi-Fi only playback. The last one that popped up was "can't get audio focus" on episodes I've already downloaded and are on my internal storage, including podcasts I just finished listening to. Look podkicker developers, you really need to nip this stuff in the butt because it's gotten old fast due to the reoccurring errors and it's chasing people away to other podcast apps.

Used to be great. Getting worse with each update. Still has a great easy to use download queue, but the full page ads when starting that don't have an exit button in the same place each time and the ads cluttering my list of podcasts and the discover banner taking up the top of the page is too much. Time to jump ship.
