With the first release of the year, we're shipping some exciting new features! 1) "Following" playlist a.k.a. episode inbox - this playlist shows new episodes from the podcasts you follow. It's great as a "triage queue" - go to Playlists - Following, pick the episodes you want to listen to, add them to Listen Later, and clear the "inbox" to keep it clean. New episodes are kept in the Following playlist for 14 days for all users. 2) View all podcasts you follow - if you follow more than 30 podcasts, you'd know that you could only see 30 on Home. No more. Tap "view all" to see all the podcasts you follow! 3) Add to Listen Later with a single tap - see that plus button next to an episode? Just tap it to add the episode to the Listen Later playlist. 4) Business as usual - minor UX tweaks and bugfixes across the board.

Happy holidays! Goodies in this release: 1) Super fast transcripts – now ready in under a minute! 2) Tap timestamps in the episode description to jump between segments! 3) Continuous playback – toggle in Settings to stop auto-playing next episodes. 4) Metacast links now open in-app (currently for “Metacast: Behind the Scenes”). 5) Search results now show timestamps, plus other fixes and improvements.

In this release: 1) In-app feedback - now you can submit feedback and a rating to the App Store from the Settings screen. Tap "Provide feedback" to do so. 2) Minor UI tweaks - we've updated colors of the "Transcript" and "Bookmarks" tabs in the player and the color of hyperlinks in episode descriptions for better contrast and legibility. 3) Bugfixes - we accidentally dropped episode duration from the Downloads playlist UI, now it's back + we've fixed how the podcast name shows in the lock screen and CarPlay. 4) Internal improvements - some boring but important stuff inside the app for better stability. 5) Secret new feature behind a feature flag - stay tuned for an exciting new feature coming soon!

New features alert! 1) Sleep timer - you asked for it; we built it. Now you can doze off to your favorite white noise, sounds of nature, or any other podcast. 2) Downloads can now be grouped by podcast, so you can find episodes more easily. Tap the "grid" icon next to search in the Downloads playlist to activate the grouping. 3) Redesigned action buttons for episodes - previously, the add to playlist, download and share buttons were hidden in a menu. Now, they're right on the episode detail screen, so you can listen later, download or share with one tap. We're working on some exciting improvements to the app experience! Stay tuned and join our subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/metacastapp/ to be in the loop.

UX Improvements: 1) Quicker adding an episode to a playlist. When you swipe an episode and add it to Listen Later, the app will no longer show the confirmation message. 2) Cleaner animation on episode removal. When you swipe an episode to delete it from any playlist, the animation looks cleaner. It's a small nit, but we thought it was important to mention nevertheless!
