Feature Request – Change podcast artwork.
-
I’d like the ability to add a custom image to a podcast. I subscribe to several Podtube rss feeds and the same generic image is displayed for all of them. I can’t tell which feed an episode in my list belongs to without clicking on it. Displaying the podcast title below the episode title would be helpful as well.

Hi @paulh1971 👋 Thanks for reaching out with the feature request!
I subscribe to several Podtube rss feeds and the same generic image is displayed for all of them.
That’s interesting! Do you mind sharing the links to those RSS feeds so we can have a look?

Hi @staff-romina
This is my top feature request and the only reason I am still switching between Pocket Casts and another Podcast App that allows that feature (Podcast Republic).
I am subscribed to multiple custom Patreon RSS podcast feeds. After filtering those podcast feeds using sites like “siftrss” I get the same generic Podcast Artwork and title for every filtered RSS feed. There’s no way to edit that in Pocket Casts.
I would LOVE the possibility for us to customize individual Podcast RSS feeds and to basically overwrite/ignore the artwork from the feed with our own.
Appreciate the effort you guys are putting into this app. Looking forward for it being the only podcast app I use in the futre.

This is how this feature looks in the Podcast Republic app. You basically go into the individual podcast settings and you are able to overwrite / change things like artwork and title for example.

Here are a couple of the links I was referring to:

Pushing this up :-) I think this will only be for a specific (but a dedicated) audience. As a software developer myself I also imagine this feature is not so complex to implement.
Appreciate the work!!!

Honestly, if the podcast names could just be displayed that would be sufficient for me, the artwork would just be a bonus. In other words, I wish the mobile app displayed the same as the Web app.

Hi @paulh1971,
If you’d like to see the names of the podcasts, this is already possible – if you tap the “…” icon in the app, then choose the last item under “Layout”, it’ll show the names (not just the “cover art”).
I hope this helps resolve the issue for you?

Ah thanks for sharing that!
I’ve opened an enhancement request for the app at https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/issues/1047
Feel free to follow along there to see progress on this – I can’t speak to a timeline on it, but this’ll make our engineering team aware of it!

Apologies for the confusion, @tavaresr! I see that we have an open feature request for adding custom artwork on the user’s side. So, I’ve made sure to add votes to it on your and @paulh1971’s behalf.

I’d like this too. One podcast has generic artwork for the channel and for another it’s cropped poorly so that there’s a large white bar at the bottom.
