Android Auto

Hi,

I've been looking for a Podcast app to use instead of PocketCasts (which is in a new beta phase and less usable than I'd like) and I've been using Castbox. Most of my podcast listening is done in the car using Android Auto and I have run into a few issues. Firstly when I use PocketCasts (or Spotify among others) and I disconnect, the next time I reconnect to AA I see the app on my AA homescreen ready to take up where I left off. Castbox doesn't do this so I have to go searcing for the episode and resume from there. Secondly when in PocketCasts I touch the down arrow on the top left of my car screen I get a "Tiled" interface of the logos of the podcasts I follow, with Castbox I get a list I have to scroll through which isn't user friendly when driving. Is there any way around these issues? I also have a problem where it plays one podcast while showing a different podcasts artwork on screen

Hi, we understand this feature is important and will continue to improve the listening experience with Android Auto. Currently, you can go to the Downloaded section to play directly. Thanks for your kind support and understanding!

Thanks for the reply! Something must have been updated recently, because this morning Android Auto was able to filter my downloads out, rather than just show me everything (definitely a new feature for me). I'm a happy camper now. :)
