Miserable compared to the IOS apps

I’ve been a Downcast on IOS fan since the first year this app came out. On IOS it works brilliantly - syncing between devices with iCloud is terrific, and the UI I’ve always found intuitive and easy to use.

I decided to buy the OSX version late 2015 - and ugh, what a different experience.

* I enabled iCloud sync on the OSX version, expecting the same awesome experience i have on IOS. Wrong - it totally messed up the sync
* Some shows were completely removed
* Others were reset to episode one

After fixing my subscriptions, which took over an hour because i listen to 30+ podcasts, I tried using the desktop app again. Played a few episodes from the fixed up subscription list, then exited. Went to IOS and AGAIN it messed up my subscriptions list.

This never happens on IOS between the iPhone and iPad.

Until the developer fixes this issue I’d recommend avoiding this app completely if you use the IOS versions of this app as well.

IOS version - 5 stars! This one, 1 star.
