The app used to be really solid but lately it just gets more bugs with each update and it's really hard to justify continuing to use it. I'm basically trapped because it has all my podcasts and play history and favorites and it would be a lot of work to could that somewhere else.

absolutely needs to be able to sync playlists or the sync feature is completely useless. What's the point if I can't go to another device and simply press play to pick up where I've left off. It's not even available as a paid add on. I use this on my phone, but also have a tablet and an android stereo in my car. Add this function and my review will increase. Contrary to the belief of the developer, this function absolutely DOES NOT work. It's been tested on all 3 devices. No lies, please!
