more I’ve been enjoying using it to turn pdfs into audio as well as articles from a read later app called Reader. The custom podcast allows me to catch up on things hands free during my commute which other apps like Reader do not. I also like how there is a setting to allow different voices, almost like shuffle. So each article can have a different voice and that makes it pretty fresh. Keep up the good work!!

This update focuses on making the app smoother, faster, and more reliable where it matters most:
- More reliable processing : Articles now process more consistently, especially when you add or update several at once.
- Faster performance with large libraries: If you have a lot of episodes, screens that used to feel slow should now load noticeably faster.

• txtpod is now available on iPad and Mac, making it easier to save and listen to articles across larger screens.
• Save articles directly from the Share extension or the Safari extension on iPad and Mac
• Listen seamlessly on iPad or Mac

• The Explore section is not yet available on iPad and Mac and will be added in a future update
Processing Queue, send multiple articles at once
• Articles are processed in a queue
• No need to wait for one article to finish before sending the next
