Stop and restart podcast replay on announcement-triggered interruptions?

    Hi Pocket Casts team,

    I have been using Pocket Casts for a very long time and I really love it. To express my support, I recently upgraded to Pocket Casts Plus, and I wanted to say, please keep up the great work!

    I’ve started using the app particularly during my running sessions on my Apple Watch, which brings me to my question: The announcements from the Apple Fitness app (pace, heart rate, etc.) regularly drown out the podcast replay, which is annoying. Is there any way to configure Pocket Casts so that the podcast replay gets stopped (and perhaps rewound for a few seconds) and then restarted after the announcement is done (Apple podcasts offers this feature)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Philipp

  • Great feedback, @daeinar

    We have quite a few customization options on our Android app to adjust how the app behaves when notifications or announcements come through, but this is lacking on our iOS app.

    I have filed this here: https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/issues/45

    Feel free to share any additional information if needed.

    Ah amazing, there’s already an issue on GitHub discussion this. Thanks for the pointer! I will chime in there if needed.
