Stitcher for iOS Just Got Even Better (And Easier)
Stitcher for iOS is being updated to support Siri Shorcuts, simplified downloads, and episode sorting.
We are rolling out a pretty big update to our iOS app making it an easier and even better place to listen to podcasts. Here’s what’s new:
Easier Downloads — Downloading episodes has been completely redesigned from the ground up! View pending and completed downloads in the new downloads list in the“My Podcasts” section. Want to remove an episode from the downloads list? Just swipe to delete.
We’ve also redesigned the way downloads appear on show pages to make it even clearer to you what is downloaded, or what is in progress of downloading.
My Podcasts Update — Get to new episodes even quicker with the new “Recently Added” section! We also renamed “Saved Episodes” to “Episode Playlist.” Same function, new name.
Episode Sorting — So you want to listen to the first episode of some show someone just told you about. You think, “Ugh. Scrolling through this feed of episodes for a podcast that’s been around for 5 years takes forever!” Well, now we’ve added episode sorting to all podcast pages. Just tap the sort button and choose ‘Newest to Oldest’ or ‘Oldest to Newest.’
Siri Shortcuts — “Hey Siri, view my favorites.” Now Stitcher supports Siri shortcuts. Customize your own voice commands to get to what you want quicker. Stitcher shortcuts will also show up on your lock screen and spotlight search to help you get to your podcasts even faster!
We also fixed a bunch of bugs and did a bit of visual clean up (Hello new player controls!). Oh and in case you missed it, you can now turn off the “Resuming Episode” voice.
Let us know what you think via the Help section in the app or hit us up on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
