- Adds AppClip support. You can now share Podcasts & Episodes with other users. If they have an iPhone or iPad Lysten will be installed and the linked content will be shown. Pretty cool!
- Share buttons have been added in context menus, podcast view and in the player
- We removed the fullscreen player, the player is now always "floating" and can be moved around
- Easier to search and find podcasts in the new search view
- You now follow podcasts from the Podcast detail view. We think this makes it much more intuitive.
- You can now import your shows from other Podcast apps. Simply export an XML / OPML file and share it with Lysten.
- Improves performance by downscaling images and caching them locally
- Fixes a weird bug where we only showd 2 episodes in "The Talk Show" by John Gruber. Sorry John. If you happen to read this, ping us on mastodon and we'll get you a beer.
- Makes the podcast name selectable in the large player
