Changelog

✨ Features

• A clickable activity wall. Every item on your home feed now names the podcast, the episode and the person in bold, and each one is its own link, so you can jump straight to whichever you meant.
• Faster related content. "Similar podcasts" and related episodes on podcast and episode pages load noticeably quicker.

📱 Android app (1.25)

• Reset progress. A new option in each episode's menu forgets where you left off so you can start it over. It works offline too.
• Played means played. Episodes that finish while your phone is locked or has no signal are now marked as played.
• Nothing lost offline. Your position keeps saving with the screen off, and if you have no connection it is sent as soon as you are back online.
• Pressing play on a finished episode no longer skips to the next one.

🐛 Fixes & improvements

• Episodes uploaded in Creator Studio play again after you edit them. Saving an episode's details could break its audio, so listeners got a "format not supported" error. Affected episodes have been repaired.
• Scheduling an episode in Creator Studio works. Picking a publish date and time no longer fails with an error.
• Uploading audio from the web works again, and the studio now accepts only the audio formats we can play, so an unsupported file is caught before you upload it rather than after.
• Removing an episode's progress also clears it from "Continue listening".
• Searching for an iVoox podcast no longer adds a duplicate of a show that is already here.
• "Copied" only appears once the link really is on your clipboard.
• Episode, follower and result counts on podcast pages are translated in every language.

✨ Features

• Clips and bookmarks. Mark the moment that matters in any episode: save a clip with a start and end time, or a single-point bookmark, give it a colour, and jump straight back to it from the episode page or the player. Your clips show up as markers on the progress bar.
• An activity wall on your home page. New episodes from the shows you follow, plus what the people you follow are up to (the shows they follow, their playlist updates and their comments), all in one chronological feed.
• Find people in search. Search now returns listeners as well as podcasts and episodes, so you can find friends and follow them. Their private settings are never exposed.
• A redesigned public profile. A cleaner header that no longer leaves an empty block when there is no banner, and easier-to-read recent activity.
• Better "popular episodes". Popular episodes are now ranked by how many different people listened in the last 30 days.
• Get the Android app from the home page. The landing page now has its own download band for the Android app, with screenshots, linking straight to Google Play.
• Email updates, only if you ask. You can join the iOS waitlist or get an email when we publish a new blog post. Both use a confirmation email, and every message has an unsubscribe link.

📱 Android app (1.20 → 1.24)

• Listen offline. Downloaded episodes play without a connection: open Library › Downloads and tap one. Failed downloads can be retried one at a time or all at once, and a new setting downloads episodes one by one so each finishes sooner on a weak connection.
• Queue all your downloads at once, in the order you choose.
• Home works offline. The home screen keeps your last content and covers instead of loading forever when you have no signal.
• A new full-screen player. It takes its colours from the episode artwork, you can swipe the artwork to read the episode notes, and per-episode actions live in a single menu.
• A better sleep timer. "End of episode" comes first, every duration fits on screen, there is a new 90-minute option, and clearing the timer is one tap away.
• The activity wall and the new profile have come to the app too, and the Profile tab is usable before you sign in.
• Update notice. The app tells you when a newer version is available on Google Play.
• Your library loads faster, because it is fetched as soon as you open the app.
• Playback fixes. The queue keeps advancing with the screen locked or the app in the background. Clearing the queue really empties it. The mini player shows what is actually playing, and it no longer gets stuck or blocks the screen after you swipe it away.
• Signing out leaves nothing behind. Cached data is cleared when you sign out or switch accounts.

🐛 Fixes & improvements

• Faster, more reliable search. Episode search avoids slow full scans. Special characters like % and _ are treated as plain text. Filtered results no longer get wiped when you page through them.
• Creator Studio responds to clicks again on desktop. A hidden mobile menu was left open and swallowed clicks on the studio pages.
• Editing a podcast in Creator Studio no longer crashes when you open it from your podcast's page.
• No more broken page after we ship an update. If your browser was still holding the previous version, the page reloads itself instead of failing.
• Your "For You" feed is no longer pinned by broken episodes that have no date or audio.
• Fewer false alarms from dead feeds. Feeds that have stopped working for good are checked monthly instead of constantly.
• The sleep timer's remaining time is translated in every language.
• Security fixes: admin pages are never rendered for other users, and sessions no longer get stuck after they expire.

✨ Features

• Bring your subscriptions with you. Export an OPML file from your old podcast app and import it from your library — we match every feed we can and follow them all at once, then show you exactly what was imported and what we couldn't find.
• Ask for the creators you're missing. On any show that hasn't been claimed by its creator yet, you can now say “I want this creator here”. We count every request, you can share the ask with the creator directly, and we'll email you the moment they join.
• Pick the languages you listen in. Signing up now asks which languages you want content in, pre-ticking the ones your device already uses. Your podcast recommendations are filtered to those languages from then on, and you can change them any time in settings.
• Search that ignores accents. Searching for guardia now finds guàrdia, and cafe finds café — across podcasts and episodes.
• Discovery in your language. When we look beyond our own library, we now search the catalogues that match your content languages instead of defaulting to the US one.
• Mark a whole podcast as played or unplayed from a single menu on the podcast page, instead of working through episodes one at a time.
• Block and report. You can block someone from your comments, report a user, and manage everyone you've blocked from a new page in settings. Our community guidelines explain what we act on.
• No more CAPTCHA when you sign up. We removed the challenge from the sign-up form.
• A refreshed home page, and a page for creators. The signed-in home page leads with what you're listening to, and everything aimed at podcasters now lives on its own for creators page.
• New-episode indicators. Shows you follow now flag when they have episodes you haven't heard yet.

🐛 Fixes & improvements

• Much faster episode search. Searching episodes now uses a pre-built, accent-normalised index instead of scanning titles, so results come back quickly even as the library grows.
• Podcast titles with accents display correctly — names arriving from feeds with encoded characters are no longer shown with à-style escapes.
• Your personal pages now require signing in. Settings, library, and onboarding no longer render for signed-out visitors.
• Episode descriptions are no longer clipped on desktop.
• Carousel arrows stay inside their column and no longer overlap the sidebar.
• Links shared to social networks show their preview image reliably, on every page.
• The library import button no longer breaks the page.
• Checkout problems now tell you what happened instead of failing silently.
• Security updates across the web app and its dependencies.

✨ Features

• Full-screen player on smaller screens. Tap the mini-player at the bottom to expand it into a full-screen view — large cover art, a draggable progress bar, skip 10s / 30s, playback speed, volume, and quick access to your queue. Swipe it back down to keep browsing.
• Redesigned episode list on phones. Episode rows are now more compact and easier to scan, showing the date, duration, and your listening progress at a glance, with all the per-episode actions tucked into a single menu.

🐛 Fixes & improvements

• Cleaner progress indicator. Episodes in progress now show a single orange percentage instead of a duplicated progress bar, across all screen sizes.

✨ Features

• Faster new-episode discovery. New episodes from imported shows now appear on the platform within about 15 minutes of being published — previously they could take up to half a day.

🐛 Fixes & improvements

• Quick search (⌘K / Ctrl+K) now searches radio stations too, alongside podcasts and episodes — and shows a “searching external catalogs…” indicator while we look beyond our own library, matching the full search page.
• The quick-search palette is now focused purely on search results, without navigation clutter.
• Blog pages load reliably again.
