Regarding being unable to download on iOS, many people are confused about that. See if this addresses your issue: https://accentral.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/254-how-can-i-download-a-podcast-from-around-the-table

For iOS, you must be in a specific category group to see the download option. So you won't see it in Around the Table>All Around the Table, but you will see it in Around the Table>Podcast. 

That is really strange. What version of Android are you running? We are not seeing that issue on any Android 8 or 9 test devices. Things to try: 1. Refresh the screen by pulling down, 2. Delete and reinstall app.

An update is available in the Apple App store today that contains a fix for this bug.

Thanks for letting us know. This has now been fixed. You will need to delete and re-download the hymn to get the corrected version.

That's a pretty old version of Android, which could be the problem. We only test on Android 7, 8, and 9. Due to our very limited development funds, we must focus on the OS versions that have the vast majority of users. It would be helpful to try something: if you have a friend or family member with a newer Android, test on those and see if they behave the same way. For now, we'll leave this issue open to see if other users vote on it to get a sense for how widespread the issue is and then determine next steps, if any.

Based on your description, it sounds like you are using an Android device. We cannot replicate the issue you describe on our test Android device. However, every device and OS version are different. Please post your device brand and model as well as the operating system version.
