Podcast Addict controls on the locked screen PLEASE! !
I just refreshed my s5 with the new software update and now i cannot access any of the podcast addict controls from the locked screen. ......
Is this a glitch or intentional! ?
I've been a long time user and advocate of podcast addict however if it's not resolved soon I'll be ditching it. ...
Very disappointing
Please don’t use this page to report an issue. It’s dedicated to new feature requests. Use the Contact support button or the dedicated bug report form instead (Settings/Feedback/Report a bug)
Regarding the issue, Google removed the lock screen widget component from Android 5. Now Android displays apps notification on the lock screen widget. You will see the player notification which allows you to control the playback. If you don’t see it make sure to enable the app notifications in Android Settings/Notifications menu
Thanks

That's strange, because the player cannot work without this service running and the player notification cannot be displayed without the player running.
What do you mean by 'Podcast addict Service set to not autostart'? There's no such setting in the app.
Please send me an email with more detail so I can understand what the issue is (Settings/Feedback)

I discovered the Podcast Addict lock screen buttons (Pause and Start) do not work if the Podcast Addict service is set to not auto-start on phone reboot. When I re-enabled the Podcast Addict service, to run on phone restart, the pause and start buttons (on the lock phone widget) work as expected. Hope this helps.

This is an android issue. Google took this away for all apps.
