Podcast Guru Release Notes – Version 1.5.6
Welcome to Podcast Guru Release Notes – Version 1.5.6, the hits keep on coming! Yes, we’ve released yet another version of Podcast Guru! This release includes many improvements and bug fixes. We’ve learned a little more about what our users want from the new mini-player UX, so we’re implemented some UX improvements there. It’s always good to hear from our users, they are why we are building this app.
Happy podcast listening!
Task
- [PG-637] – Clean up events in Firebase to better track trends
- The goal is for us to see what screens are being actively used / selected by the users the most, so we can focus on improving those from a UX perspective
Improvement
- [PG-704] – Add exit warning toast
- Several users have complained that it’s too easy to accidentally exit the app. When the first back-button is pressed that would exit the app is intercepted, a toast should be shown with the message «Press back again to exit the app».
- [PG-705] – App restart should load last played content
- After we added swipe to dismiss for the mini-player, when the app starts up again, we made it not load up the last played content. Turns out that was a bad idea, users are now complaining that they can’t remember what podcast they were listening to last. We should modify this so that even though swipe to dismiss still works, if you re-open the app it will still load up the last played content.
Bug
- [PG-690] – [Crashlytics] [Linked Issue] ActivityThread.java line 1832
- [PG-697] – Search button appears where it shouldn’t
