It’s February 2020 and we’re still working away at making Podcast Lounge 2 the best podcast experience on Windows 10 devices. New in this update is the ability to search for a particular episode as well as a whole bunch of fixes under the hood to improve the app’s reliability when internet access isn’t great.

To celebrate the app’s continued success in the Windows Store, we’ve released new pricing so there has never been a better time to get your copy of Podcast Lounge!

Check it out in the Windows Store here.

We are delighted to announce that Podcast Lounge 2 has been fully launched for Windows 10 devices. We’ve taken all the best bits of Podcast Lounge and rebuilt it from the ground up to work as a universal Windows app. Doing so allows us to add much more functionality such as playback speed and more control over podcast downloads.

You can proudly get the 30-day trial from the Windows Store here.

We’ve just hit our release candidate milestone on our most significant update of Podcast Lounge to date. Expect to see it hit the store in the coming days with full coverage in all of the major Windows Phone news sites.

New in this update:

• Added Smart Playlists support
• Lots of improvements & fixes
• Backup/restore functionality
• New player screen with scrubbing support
• Revamped settings area
• Added share status via Email
• Support for HTML podcast show notes
• Block auto-sync of specific favourites
• Lots of fixes and other small features

We’re really excited that this development phase is drawing to a close and we’re looking forward to getting the version in the hands of our loyal users.

More soon.

The early adopters of the new Windows Phone 7.8 update (build 8858) who use our Radio Lounge apps will notice that streaming support appears to have broken since the upgrade. The apps report buffering, but eventually fail with a “crikey” message. Our investigations have concluded that the new OS update is missing some of the vital components required for WMA streaming which our radio apps need to stream correctly .
