Hello Mr. Dev,
Since I thought this project was dead, I've been trying out Podcast Addict. There are a few things it does better. I still love Podkicker so take this as constructive criticism:
-Higher resolution podcast images: KitKat 4.4 uses these images for the lock screen wallpaper while Podkicker is playing. Right now the images are super blurry. PA has much better images for the same podcasts.
-Better search/filtering of new podcasts. See the PA search functionality. Searching for audio or video only is especially helpful.
-Chromecast support: not only incredibly useful for end users, but it would surely translate into more five star reviews. It also wouldn't hurt to be indexed under the Chromecast section in the Play store.
-Ability to use a 3rd party player: this could maybe substitute for a full-fledged Chromecast functionality? I.e. opening video podcasts with Localcast.
-Favorites: Marking a podcast you really liked but don't necessarily want to keep in storage, so you can later re-stream it, is cooler and more useful than it sounds at first.
The Podcast Addict UI is way too cluttered, so if Podkicker could catch up in these other features, I could go back to using it full time. I think the Podkicker interface is genius, so kudos there.
It would maybe be beneficial if you benchmarked/compared with other apps like Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, etc. This app still has a lot of potential.
Thanks!
