I have 3 suggestions for Downcast. 1. At the bottom of the list of unplayed episodes of a podcast there is a "View other available episodes" button. Double-tap that button to reveal episodes you have already played. You can scroll down the list to find the episode you didn't finish listening to.
2. Move back so you are displaying the list of podcasts you have subscribed to. Double-tap the "More" tab in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then double-tap the Settings button. Locate the "Episodes to keep" heading. Double-tap the item just below this heading. It might say "All unplayed, but it might say something else. After you double-tap, you will be in a list of choices for which episodes to keep. One of your choices is to keep all episodes. When you have made your choice, press the "Back" button until you get back to the items in the More tab. Then double-tap the "Podcasts" tab in the lower left corner of the screen to get back to your list of podcasts. 3. The choices you make in Settings in the More tab are global settings that apply to all of your podcasts. You can also customize the settings for a specific podcast by double-tapping that podcast to open the list of episodes. Then double-tap "Podcast Settings" in the bottom right corner of the screen. There you can change any settings that you want to be different for this specific podcast. Rob Armstrong -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joe Orozco Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2020 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Downcast and Alternatives Hi, I’ve been using Downcast and generally enjoy it. The two features I enjoy most are the ability to use chapter support as well as the ability to export episodes to Dropbox, but one thing that drives me absolutely nutty about Downcast are missing episodes. This morning I was listening to an episode, took the dog out, and lost Internet connection. When I came back in, the episode I was listening to had vanished. It seems to get rid of episodes it thinks I have finished listening. I’m glad it thinks it’s being helpful, but I’d like to keep the complete list of episodes available regardless of play time. First, is there a way to fix this issue on Downcast? Second, are you using an alternative podcast player you know will give me the two features I love and avoid the feature I despise? I keep hearing Jonathan Mosen talk about Castro, and my only hesitation to check it out is the subscription model. I don’t mind subscription plans, but for this sort of thing, I would rather pay a large lump sum up front. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
