Hi Robert,

 

Keith mentioned Voice Dreamreader among a couple of others. I was going to 
suggest it as well because I think their implementation is very smart. In Voice 
Dreamreader if, for example, I am listening to an audio book, I have a 
navigation control and flicking up or down let’s me switch between 15 seconds, 
30 seconds and 60 seconds as well as chapter. So I select by what unit I want 
to jump forward or back and then I just swipe to the left once which puts me 
back on the Play/Pause button and I can now just use the same swipe up or swipe 
down gesture to jump forward or back by the interval I set.

I guess in the case of AgoGo instead of chapter you could have Episode or 
whatever you want to call it and of course some time intervals.

 

Voice Dreamreader furthermore has a progress indicator which shows the 
percentage of where you are currently at. For example, if I have a chapter of 
an audio book which is an hour long and I am 20 minutes into the chapter, the 
indicator would tell me that I am at 33%. I can flick up or down and change 
this by 5% or I can double tap and hold on the progress indicator and a little 
numeric pad comes up and I can type in an exact percentage, say I want to go 
back to 23% I just type 23 and then tap Done.

 

Similarly the Play/Pause button in addition to letting me adjust the playback 
position by my preset interval allows me to set the sleep timer. I double tap 
and hold on it and up comes the sleep timer with some preset time periods like 
15, 30, 45 etc. minutes as well as an edit field where I could, if I wanted, 
type in 27 to set it for 27 minutes.

 

I think the way the Voice Dreamreader developer has done this is fantastic, 
very efficient and I have not seen this much functionality anywhere else.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi guys,

Lead developer of AGOGO here.  

I really appreciate you guys using AGOGO and helping me discover issues like 
this!

 

Play controls are definitely an area where we need to improve.  I was looking 
at how the voice over play controls work on Apple's Podcasts app and was 
planning on using that as a model for future improvements.  Is there another 
app that you think has a better play controls experience?

 

Thanks,

Robert

Hello, 

When listening to a show, pressing the now playing button brings up previous, 
next, and play.  Doing a double tap and hold on previous and next doesn’t fast 
forward and rewind though.  You can only skip forward and back to other shows.  
But, there is sort of a work around for this.  From the lock screen, double 
tapping and holding on the previous and next buttons found there will indeed 
fast forward and rewind through shows.  Same thing if using the remote on a 
pair of headphones.
