Pocket Casts, my favorite podcast app on Android, got
updated with a minor update today, raising the version number to 6.4.6. Before I list the change log, the developer
announced some major changes in version 7.4.7, which is a big jump from today’s
update. I can’t wait to see what they have in store.
In today’s update, Pocket Casts brings a new “Extra Dark OLED theme.” Dark themes make
it easy on the eyes should you choose to watch a video podcast…in the dark. This
is great especially if you have a partner sharing the same room or bed. While
this might sound like a minor addition, it won’t necessitate a restart of the
app. Currently, changing the theme is already available in the app. But doing
so requires closing and re-opening the app. With this update, this is not
required. The change will happen on the fly. You would think that the most
popular mobile platform on earth would handle such a change easily. But no.
This update also fixes some issue with “download URLs not changing properly when the author updates them.”
Picture in Picture features also gets fixed as well as chromecasting. I assume
that the former is available only on Android devices that runs Android Oreo or
8.0.
The update is available for download in Google Play Store
for your podcast needs.
