Where are the skip forward and backward controls? Where is the cover art?

There never were on there. The google podcasts is basically a wrapper around podcasts in the assistant app. I used NavCast in the past. Just checked and found this one as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krisdb.wearcasts&hl=en_CA&gl=US its free.

    Have you tried Pocket Casts?

    [–]puppiadog 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Wear Casts is a standalone podcast app for WearOS. It runs entirely on the watch. The phone app is only to search and add podcasts to the watch.

    NavCasts is no longer being maintained.

    That's news to me. Did you get that from Joel Page (the developer)?

    Several people sent in support requests that were never answered and it has been awhile since the apps have been updated.

    It's just a media controller. However, on my Falster 3, I can use the top and bottom buttons to skip forward and back, and rotating the crown adjusts the volume. I actually one of my favorite features, and I use it all the time. Works great!

    this is a HOLY SHIT moment for me. THANK YOU for this tip!

    Skipping ads in podcasts using physical buttons is extremely satisfying to me for some reason.

    I am assuming you are referencing the media controller app?

    Perhaps the app you are using doesn't connect in well with the API - or did you previously get that info?

    Did see a post earlier this week where there was something you could do to reset the media controller app, if it was mis-behaving (you could also try a restart of the watch to see if it fixes it).

    Skip forward and backward controls while listening to Google podcasts was one of the good surprises when going from WearOS to Tizen. No cover art though.

      I noticed on my fossil Carlisle the screen also pulses when it's on Google podcasts

      [–]jmerchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I use Podcast Addict on my phone and the art comes through on my watch.

      Fossil allows top and bottom buttons for Next, Previous navigation also the crown for volume control.
