Nice-looking app, but usability suffers as the podcasts are not easy to handle. If I stop listening or are thrown out, I need to click many times and then try to remember how far I got in the program. Further, to get to the latest episodes of interesting programs, I have to go to my favourites, then click the program and finally the right episode. I used to listen to Areena podcasts via Google podcasts but unfortunately that doesn't work anymore. It's a better app for podcasts.

Couldn't get the app to work. Every time I open it, it loads for multiple minutes in the logo screen or hungs there forever. And when it sometimes actually opens, searches and everything else takes a long time. Also, I have never managed to actually start any stream from the app when I finally manage to find the program. Every other streaming app works quickly and I can view streams from areena website, so the problem is not with the internet connection. Edit: yes, I'm using the latest version

Good selection of documentaries and shows. Simple to use. I always find something to watch. Rating would be 5/5 but the subtitles (at least on Prisma documentaries) are annoying sometimes. They are purely white which means that they are very hard or impossible to read when on a white background. Please add a black outline or something similar to the subtitles so we can actually read them. Thank you.
