*STILL* not ready for prime time (or again??)

ARRRRRGH! The iOS version is (mostly) very usable, but the Mac OS version just crashes, crashes, crashes, and crashes. It can barely stay running for even 5 seconds most of the time now. Downloads multiple copies of the same podcast, crashes every time it tries to play, tries to check for new podcasts, tries to download things, or just feels like it. The previous version had actually been moderately stable, but this one is back to disaster land. The following two comments from my reviews of previous versions, unfortunately, still hold- so, I guess this speaks poorly of the progress thats been made in the past couple years.

"Every time I see that Downcast has been automatically updated, I dread launching it. Will this be one of those updates that manages to break everything so that its crashy and unusable? Or will this one manage to fix some of the problems introduced in the last update? This latest update seems, once AGAIN, to be of the former type"

"In a review of a previous broken update, I wrote: "I guess the only encouraging thing is that the developers keeps trying (i.e., its not abandonware), but I would definitely still not have paid for the Mac OS version if I knew how buggy it was, even after this many updates."
Im not so sure about this any more-- if I hadnt bought in to the original version, I certainly would be looking elsewhere, since the updates just arent getting very far very fast."

"All in all, progress is frustratingly slow and up and down. The last version felt like a usable beta, but now this scrolling issue makes it mostly unusable again. Im still waiting to see if it eventually improves the point where its usable enough to justify the ten bucks I shelled out for it..."
