New Stuff
+Watch App updated with redesigned in SwiftUI. Navigation style changed to allow for swipe actions. Option added to download episode directly on the watch in addition to the normal transfer option. Download/transfer queue now available to see the progress with the option to stop a transfer or convert to a direct download. See the Apple Watch help for more information.
+Podcast defaults, Speed Adjustment. In a prior update playback speed was added as a podcast default. This was meant to allow for having a way to have all podcasts in sync with one speed and then change the few podcasts to a different speed. This speed adjustment option allows you to change it so that changing playback speed on a podcast that is tied to the default while it is playing, will just change that podcasts playback speed and not update the global setting for playback speed.
