I find the app extremely frustrating to use. There's no button to skip ahead or go back on a video, so when there are podcasts with long intro countdowns the slider is impossible to position accurately to skip ahead in time. I think the podcast hosts post time stamp links in the podcast description, but the app cuts the description off before three time stamp section, and I can't find any way to display the entire description. It's really a terribly designed app.

The app has a lot of potential. It's full of great ideas but it has some major problems. During playback videos won't play in the background consistently and will sometimes randomly start playing when you don't want them to. Trying to watch something live is always a problem. Audio is always out of sync and at times the video won't load or it will cut out in the middle of watching.

I support this mobile app because I support the platform in principle (free speech without big tech censorship). That said, the video streaming/compression algorithm is horrible. This app burned through 3.6Gb of mobile data in less than 75 minutes, listening to a video with the screen off. A significant ehancement would entail allowing the end user to select bitrate/video quality. Another would be to automatically lower bitrate to low quality when the end user's device screen is turned off.
