If you use the free, ad-supported version of the app, I’m planning changes to how ads appear on the player screen and I want your opinion before making a decision. 📢 Please Share your thoughts here teddit.net/r/PodcastAddict/c… Premium users won’t be affected by these changes

Podcast Addict beta build may fail to play. Workaround: grant Nearby devices permission in Settings. A fix was published yesterday but is pending Google approval (may take days). After answering 500 emails today, I hit Gmail’s daily send limit and cannot reply to any more users

v2025.4 beta is wrapping up, and I can’t wait to share it with you! This release features a partial rewrite under the hood, along with tons of new features, performance optimizations, and bug fixes. teddit.net/r/PodcastAddict/c…

Thanks @cbcpodcasts for sending your lawyers after me for including your PUBLIC podcasts in Podcast Addict! Like every podcast app, we don’t host any content—we simply index public feeds. If you don’t want your shows in apps, mark them PRIVATE. End of story.

I’m exploring an audio normalization feature to reduce sudden volume jumps (like loud inserted ads) and maybe boost very quiet segments. No promise it’ll ship—needs to be distortion-free & battery-friendly. Your feedback will help! Share details on Reddit teddit.net/r/PodcastAddict/c…

I’m developing a prototype feature that evens out whispers and tames sudden blasts in your podcasts. If you’ve got episodes with big volume swings, please send me their episode URLs by email (Settings/Feedback) Thanks

The next Podcast Addict update is now available in beta! It brings improved Playback stats with listening streaks and your most/least active days. Important technical updates also require Android 8.0+ (dropping support for Android 5, 6, and 7).

So it looks like Google is also following the new trend that started with Twitter and then FB. It's now OK to insult devs in reviews and threaten them by email...

Latest version of the app should work around any streaming issues caused by podcast dynamic ad insertion. It also has some new skip intro/outro settings. All the information is in the app changelog podcastaddict.com/changelog/…

Looks like the app is back on the Play Store! Now just waiting for the AdMob account to be reactivated. Thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

.@lockheimer looks like there's still a lot to improve in your automated processes. 4 years later the app is suspended for 'Violation of Violent Extremism policy' and all I got is this screenshot. Can you provide any feedback about what's wrong?

There seems to be an issue in Podcast Addict on a few devices where the player screen rotates 3 times when pressing on the player banner. Rebooting the device will resolve the issue. This appears to be a ROM bug. More details here: teddit.net/r/PodcastAddict/c…

The 1st platform I tested as a replacement for UserVoice was too limited. I'm switching to this one podcastaddict.featureos.app/… You can also use it to report bugs podcastaddict.featureos.app/… You can start using it right now

I'm going to give this tool (suggest.gg) a try for a few weeks as a replacement for UserVoice. Please feel free to add feature requests and then vote for existing ones once other users start using it suggest.gg/podcastaddict

Sorry but the uservoice website is now disabled. Uservoice was a free service but they now ask for $999 per month for their 1st tier... I will have to check if I can find a new service for feature requests but the existing data is unfortunately lost

Google introduced a bug in their June ROM update which causes the device to send stop commands to the current media session. Until they fix this please join the Beta on the play store app page and then update to the latest version. You can then go to Settings/Download and enable the setting that will ignore onStop commands

A new version of the app has just been released with a lot of minor improvements and bug fixes. You can check the full changelog here: podcastaddict.com/changelog/…
