Love the features but the ads are completely out of control. giant fullscreen ads that are seemingly designed to be difficult to close, with a tiny little 'x' in the corner. Horrible. I usually just delete an app and skip the review but that's how annoyed I am with this app

I originally rated this app high. However, I've the last few weeks I have found the advertising video content obnoxious and/or offensive. There is no way to block the ad or otherwise notify the algorithm that it is not an appropriate ad for me. I have un-installed it and moved to a new podcast player. Selection of podcasts was good, but offensive ads ran me off. I would never let my child use the Castbox app.

Hi, sorry for such inconvenience. As a startup, we have to survive by integrating with ads that are provided by third-party advertisers like Google, Facebook, or Applovin. Also, you can click the "i" to report the ad to its provider to block it. If it still exists, please send the screenshot of it to [email protected]. We'll further look into it.

Easy to use, responsive support team - I love having my podcasts all in one place, separate from my music and book collections. I love how easy it is to build playlists. I've never searched for a podcast and not found it in Castbox. And I love that I can have a free account that saves my info across devices. When I had a question, the tech team responded quickly and solved my problem. Nothing bad to say at all!
