Yeah, it is that bad. Coming from iHeartRadio before becoming a member I was used to a much better app interface and having it remember where I was in the list. What I do now in the SC app is to first pull up the episode list on a web browser to find the one I want, then I use the SC app’s “search” feature to find it. That way I don’t have to load tons of pages to get to the part of the episode list I need.
I also find it really sad that the app doesn’t remember the position of the last episode played (such as if you had to stop in the middle) either.
