Stay updated with the latest enhancements and new features added to Podcast Kiosk. This page documents all changes, improvements, and fixes with each app version release, helping you keep track of new functionalities and optimizations.
We've added a new way to manage your podcasts. Swipe right on a podcast to reveal two options: mark it as played or add it to your playing queue. It's an intuitive way to keep track of what you've listened to and what’s next.
In addition, we've optimized performance to make the app faster and more responsive.
With this update, the app is faster and more enjoyable to use. Searching for podcasts is now significantly quicker, and your own episodes load faster, making it easier to access your favorites. We’ve also expanded the library, so more podcasts are available for you to discover.
Additionally, it’s now possible to support the app, helping to keep it free and open for everyone. We are still working on further speed improvements, but the experience is already much better. Thank you for your continued support!
This update includes several small improvements to make things look better and work smoother. Additionally, the player will now stop after an episode when your playlist queue is empty, instead of jumping to the next podcast.
You can now export your podcasts in OPML format, making it easier to back up or transfer your library. Additionally, importing OPML files from multiple sources is now supported, giving you greater flexibility in managing your podcasts.
We’ve also introduced playlists, allowing you to organize your favorite podcasts and episodes into curated collections for easy listening.
We’ve added Arabic language support with full right-to-left adjustments and introduced Turkish language support. You can now select your preferred language in the settings, or let the app auto-detect your device language.
We also introduced the option to mark episodes as played or un-played, and an automatic download deletion setting for played episodes.
We hope these updates improve your overall experience and make it easier to enjoy your favorite content.
In this milestone, we’ve refactored the entire code base for speed, security, and stability.
We added an extensive suite of unit tests, integrated SonarCloud for deeper code insights, set up automatic builds, and upgraded everything to the newest Flutter version. We also improved caching, refined error handling, introduced better design consistency, and optimized the architecture for smoother performance.
This release marks a strong foundation for future enhancements, and we appreciate your support as we continue to evolve.
You can now import your podcasts from another podcast app seamlessly using an OPML file, making it easier than ever to switch and consolidate your subscriptions.
Secondly, we have introduced theme customization within the app. You can choose between dark mode, light mode, or set it to follow your system's default theme, ensuring the app looks and feels just right for you.
Lastly, we have expanded our language support, and the app is now available in multiple languages, allowing more users around the world to enjoy our content in their preferred language.
You can now set a sleep timer, allowing the app to automatically stop playback after a certain period, perfect for winding down.
The playback screen now includes a queue feature, making it easier than ever to manage your listening.
We’ve also fixed a bug that caused audio to not load properly when opening the app.
With this update, enjoy enhanced performance and stability for a smoother experience.
You can now dive right into the app without needing to create an account, making it even easier to discover and enjoy your favorite shows.
When you find a podcast that sparks your interest, simply subscribe, and it will be instantly loaded into your overview, ready for you to play. We've also added a helpful loading icon to the home screen to let you know when your podcasts are being fetched.
We've swapped the positions of Topics and AI recommendations on the Kiosk page.
You can now share podcasts and episodes. We've improved the loading screens for Kiosk and fixed an error message that appeared when deleting your account. Additionally, we've updated the framework to Flutter 3.22.
