The new What’s New feed in the Profile tab brings announcements from the Pocket Casts team straight into the app, so you can be the first to know about new stuff.

Watching video is easier too. A new button over the video zooms it into the full screen player, rotating to landscape on iPhone when the video calls for it, and a matching button brings you back.

Bug fixes in this release: smoother downloads, better storage cleanup, lower memory use, and a round of accessibility and layout polish.
