I just recently had to switch from Samsung to iPhone because of not being able to receive phone calls. I lost all my podcast info, which is understandable, but I have been trying to find a podcast app that could replace PA, but none compare. Apple's podcast app is terrible, plain and simple.

This app would kill on ios devices, there is none comparable and I think that's because everyone thinks Apple's podcast app is good. I would gladly pay $5 for your app on ios or you could do a donate app like on android.

I used to have nearly 3 days (72hrs) of listening time in a week pretty regularly, so I used to be very reliant on this app to get content.

Thanks, and I hope you create the app for ios!!!

I have a couple ideas for a new features. The first I think it would be nice if the Automatic Rewind had the option to adjust the playback speed up to the next threshold until the position in the episode has returned to where we left off.

I'll give an example. Let's say the Speed Adjustment at 1.2x Automatic Rewind set to 5 minutes with Incremental Rewind enabled. And an example scenario might be that the Automatic Incremental rewind moved the current position back 3 minutes. So for the next 3 minutes the player would operate at a playback speed of 1.5x then the playback speed would adjust back to 1.2x.

The second is another Player Behavior option that would slow the playback down to one threshold lower if the user hit the rewind button (a parallel option would be to disable Skip Silence) until they get back to their previous position in the episode. Probably consider the rewind additive if they hit the rewind button an additional time before the position have moved beyond the time when they first hit the rewind button. This would get the listener through the refresher in the episode more quickly since they presumably understood it well enough to begin with.

I'll give an example for this too. Let's assume the manual rewind is set for 15 seconds and they are again listening at 1.2x. If the position is at 5:15 into an episode and the user hits the rewind button that would take them back to 5:00 into the episode. Let's say they again hit the rewind button after listening for only 5 second. Their position in the episode would now be 4:50. With this option the playback speed would be adjusted down to 1.0x for the next 25 seconds from 4:50, until they got back to 5:15. As I mentioned above a parallel option would be to disable Skip Silence, if it is enabled, for the same period. It would make it so if they are manually rewinding, reasonable assuming it is because they want to hear something again, they can also hear that something more clearly.

Where I see this getting hairy is if the users does a manual rewind during the automatic rewind period. So returning to the automatic rewind example above if the position is back 3:00 and after getting through 1 minute of the 3 minute automatic rewind period the user then does a manual rewind I think you'd slow the playback down from 1.5x to 1.2x then after 15 seconds speed it back up to 1.5x and then once you get back to the 3:00 mark you'd slow back down to their previous setting for that episode of 1.2x.

Some users may listen to podcasts / audio content for professional or educational purposes, and therefore have to log the content in external systems.

Problem: Currently, for a user to share an episode description is a multi-step manual process through the AP menu system, which is suboptimal.

It would be useful to provide these user with a PA configuration that supports automatically sharing listened episodes' descriptions to some external system. E.g. send podcast description text to email.

Prefer this to be a setting at a podcast subscription level... though I imagine there are cases where users want to set it globally.

(Extra: may be useful to share after each listen, or bundle the notifications into a quantity- or time-based digest.)
