Fix skips, repeats, jumps when playing podcasts.
Both my husband and I are experiencing jumps in podcasts when playing, both forward and backward.
This website is dedicated to new feature requests. In case of an issue please send me an email instead (Settings/Feedback)!
My guess is that you’re streaming on a Samsung device with Android 6.
In that case this is ‘unfortunately normal’…
Playback is handled by the device built-in player, not by the app.
Samsung broke streaming apps with their latest ROM.
The only workaround for now is to download episodes. Hopefully they will fix this soon.
Also make sure to disable the device built-in battery saver or at least to remove Podcast Addict and other streaming apps from the list of ‘optimized apps’
Sorry I cannot be more helpful

Removing the app from the device 'Optimized apps' list should fix this issue -

I also have the skipping and repeating problem. I actually wrote into my favorite podcast telling them to fix the issue. Now I know it's my stupid Samsung s7.

You will find this information in the app FAQs which are also available on this website -

I understand that this isn't the page for issues like this, but it is very helpful to have this information in a Q&A format so that many people are not having to do extra work to find the same info. Thanks for the response - I had the same issue and will now download the episodes instead. :)
