Let me choose where the iOS “up next” widget sends me when empty
-
I have the “up next” widget on the lock screen on my iPhone, and I generally like being able to see how many episodes I have left in my playing list at a glance. I have one nitpick though — when the list is empty, the widget takes me to the “Discover” screen, which I never use (I already subscribe to more podcasts than I have time to listen to).
I’d love to have a setting that lets me choose this behavior, and either directs me to the main podcast list or the most recently opened filter (which in my case is usually “new releases”) so I can select the next episode to play from my existing podcasts. It would only save a tap or two, but I run into this a few times a day so it adds up. Thanks!

Hi there, @sethrichardsgmailcom! Thanks for that feedback about the Up Next Widget. I can see how having the link leading to your podcast list instead of Discover can be helpful. I’ve added this to the feature request for widget improvements.
While I can’t provide a timeline or guarantee that the feature will be implemented, please know that your suggestions are valued, and we take them seriously in our ongoing efforts to enhance the Pocket Casts experience.
