  I love Pocket Casts, but it has some questionable UI choices that make it extremely difficult to use when on Android Auto or Apple CarPlay (AA/CP). The biggest one is not being able to see the saved (starred) episodes in AA/CP. While using the phone or tablet, there is an option to sort the starred episodes to be at the top of the list, but not in AA/CP or even the Web App, for that matter.

  I don’t want a great deal, but this is one of two areas that are in need of immediate improvement (the other one being the starred episodes grouped in one single list instead of the ability to sort by show in folders).

  Apple Podcasts has its faults, but the one thing they get right is the UI for saved/starred episodes, and it’s consistent whether you’re on macOS or iPhoneOS or iPadOS.
