Just thought I would start a post asking for features in the iOS (and I guess Android) version of the app. I spend a lot of time in the car and listen to Podcasts whilst I drive. I had hoped to listen to the videos but it's proved troublesome.
I'd like to suggest the following features....
-
Reliable downloading. I tried to download videos but if the phone turned off or a did something that took focus away from the app after downloading, I found that when I went off line after the video told me it had downloaded, the video just wasn't there. I end up having to download the videos and make sure I keep the phone from sleeping by running a video whilst the downloads complete.
-
Ability to order downloaded videos in the same order as they are in the course. Currently they are listed in a reverse order to which they are downloaded. Alternatively, re-title the episodes to identify the order of the module in the course.
-
Audio only download. Audio only is available in the Website, why not in the app.
-
When not connected to Wifi, in the downloads screen there is no way to return back to the main menu. I thought this was a bug for the first few weeks until I realised it was linked to WiFi connectivity. Think this should be less confusing or highlighted
-
Speed control. Speed control for the player would be great. It's available for the podcasts as I often listen to TWiT at x1.5 speed. If there is a way of connecting to ITPro.TV using podcasts in iPhone, that would be great but I suspect that's not an option.
-
No chat room. When viewing on a tablet, there is no way to heckle from the side lines ;-) Could we not have a chat window that we can swipe in and out of whilst watching live?
Thanks for the great work you do guys,
Mark
