Best audio podcast app, navigation so and so

I use and continue to use this app for its audio features: removal of background noise, emphasize of speech audio, play restarting from a few seconds before la speech.

But:
- the navigation is completely custom and not always intuitive
- to download a file when in cellular, you need to start playing it?!? Then you can download it and stop playing it
- finally, what drives me completely crazy, often new episodes are published but you can’t play or download them because clearly there is a server component used to check for new episodes and send notifications. Problem: often this server part is slow in responding and you want half an hour (or even one/more hours) refreshing...
