  I just started using Pocket Casts after years of Overcast (since the very first version) to try out something new. I’m really liking how podcasts are organized in Pocket Casts and it’s Up Next queue.

  Today I noticed that the chapter art doesn’t show up in the iOS Lock Screen. I have to unlock and open the app to be able to see it. Hopefully this isn’t an intentional design decision.

  As mentioned there, we currently do not support chapter artwork on the lockscreen, but we have a feature request opened for this. We hope to add support for this in a future update :)

  Any news on that? It’s the only reason I am switching between Overcast and Pocket Cast.

  Hi @stargoose! We don’t have any plans for supporting this at the moment. However I have added your suggestion to our feature requests.

  I’d just like to second this request. PC seems to be the only major iOS podcast player that doesn’t support this feature.
