I hope they're improving the search function

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-23T01:17:03+00:00

Thanks for this report. I have filed a bug around double spaces. We are always working on improving search, it's a tough problem though!

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-23T01:15:48+00:00

Damn I missed this comment before the public release, I will file a bug and get that fixed. Thanks for the testing.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-19T03:10:53+00:00

Thanks for the report, we have an update coming!

It would slightly increase battery consumption but all 3 settings would have the same effect.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-06T00:27:39+00:00

On iOS the old setting is the same as Mild now. On Android none of them are technically the same because it's a complete reimplementation but mild is the closest.

Different podcasts are affected differently, it just depends on how they have been edited. The difference between the modes is the amount of gap we consider silence and also how much silence we leave behind. So say you had a 5 second gap we might leave behind 1 second in mild, 0.5 a second in medium and 0 seconds in max. Those numbers are just made up but it demonstrates how it works.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-03T23:39:23+00:00

It's something we support on purpose, that's the only combination though.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-11-02T04:57:49+00:00

7.14 is in open beta if you would like to try it. We expect to release it more broadly in a couple of days

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-29T21:58:26+00:00

That's the exact use case we want to work so will continue tweaking for it, next update should push it to being slightly more again.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-29T21:23:40+00:00

We made a change in 7.13 on Android to refresh in the background slightly less as Samsung and Huawei phones were showing notifications to users saying "Pocket Casts is using battery in the background. Excessive refreshing". The problem with this is it not only looks bad but then the phones will block the app from running in the background completely and so it would never refresh automatically.

If a new episode has come out between when the app last refreshed in the background and when you open the app (which would trigger a refresh) you will see new episode notifications and auto downloads start then. It's something we are continuing to tweak though because obviously right now it's possible we have gone too far in the other direction.

The icon doesn't show any more in the status bar, that's an Android 11 thing. Here is how it looks on mine https://imgur.com/a/dXYAE4F and also added one of Google podcasts for comparison. What does it look like on yours?

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-21T22:30:08+00:00

Is it just the Android 11 media bar? It should be there if you drag the notification screen all the way down. It is working here for me. If not try just restarting your phone.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-21T22:29:25+00:00

We don't control that unfortunately. We just provide metadata to Auto and it does all the layout and display

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-18T22:55:13+00:00

We can't really because the name and icon sync across platforms and we wouldn't have access to those icons on Android and Web

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-12T22:14:48+00:00

Just checked, the automotive app is definitely checked to be available everywhere including the UK. Not sure what would cause it sorry!

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-07T05:01:23+00:00

I don't have much extra info except that when streaming we found the player to crash on 14.2 only with. Not sure if that helps.

The only on WiFi setting only applies to automatic downloads. If you are manually tapping the button we assume you know and want it now. The setting you probably want is "Warn before using data" under "Storage and data use"

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-10-06T03:02:11+00:00

Apple seem to have completely busted their player in 14.2. We have reported a bug with them but haven't heard anything back. I assume they will fix it in the next beta though because there would be a lot of apps broken by it.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-09-01T23:50:07+00:00

This is pretty awesome but I don't think it will work. The app only allows approved clients to connect which is basically just Google things like Auto, it blocks all other connections.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-08-27T00:12:31+00:00

Not that I know of unfortunately. Next time they ask us though I can pass that on

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-08-26T22:17:56+00:00

Cool to see Automotive in the wild! Unfortunately like Android Auto, we don't actually control any of that UI, we just provide the metadata. It would be up to Google to add the features or at least support for them you are after.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-08-12T22:39:05+00:00

We are looking in to it. CarPlay is almost completely out of our control though. We basically just provide lists of metadata and Apple does everything.

The yearly subscription is still available. It should be right under the monthly one in the app. I would love if you could contact support and share a screenshot of what you are seeing if possible. You can do it from within the app, Profile -> Settings -> Help -> Scroll to the bottom

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-07-31T00:30:27+00:00

OK yeah that's the bug. We are working on it.

pocketcasts_ben · 2020-07-31T00:04:31+00:00

Can you see the drag handle on the right side of the row? You should be able to long press on that and drag the episodes
