yeah i had similair experince as it became laggy and some of its features are not functioning well. however, i have come a cross a good app that it provide a smooth experience when it comes to listening to your favorite podcast or that you are a content creator and want t reach to a larger audience. try " Podcastle " app. it is an Ai powered audio and video creation platform. it is your way if you want an app that is easy to use and helpful in terms of editing podcast as well. so i think it is a good try somehow.
