v2021.11
Changelog - August 30, 2021
Alarm clock
This feature has been one of the most popular request on the app Uservoice.
You can now use the app to set alarms and wake up to your favorite podcast / playlist / radio.
You can do this by going into the app navigation sidebar where a new entry called Alarms has been added. If you're not interested by this feature you can go into Settings/Navigation sidebar and then disable this option.
In order to work properly, this feature requires a new Permission that you will have to enable so the app UI can open automatically without any user interaction. You can do this from the app Settings/Alarms screen.
Without it, the playback should be able to start, but you won't have a UI displayed that shows the time and allow you to snooze the alarm or stop the playback.
Please contact me in case you experience any issue with this feature so I can keep improving it.
Android Auto menu customization
You can now customize the list of entries displayed on Podcast Addict Android Auto menu. You will have to go to Settings/Android Auto to do this.
New menu like 'Favorite episodes' and 'Playback in progress' can now be enabled.
Sleep timer fade-out customization
You can now customize the duration of the sleep timer fade-out (or disable it). To do this, please go to Settings/Player/Sleep Timer.
