New slide-in drawer and auto-downloading of individual podcasts also included
Pocket Casts has just pushed out an update in the Play Store to version 4.3 that brings a few subtle design tweaks and new features with it. On the design side, the developers say the entire app is smoother and faster, and you’ll now see an updated slide-in drawer with the latest Google design guidelines applied. A new option to delete multiple podcasts at once can now be accessed with a long-press on any single podcast as well.
In terms of functionality, you can down mark individual podcasts for auto-download rather than just entire playlists, and the app has been restructured on the back-end to let other podcast apps index its podcast directory. Naturally there are other bugfixes included here as well.
And for those of you wondering about Chromecast support, Pocket Casts says it is ready to go as soon as Google allows it — just have to keep waiting on this one.
