Go straight to the point and straight to the podcasts. We’re adding a new feature that will allow you to be listening to your favorites and most podcasts in no time. Introduce the new Spreaker Podcast Radio Home Screen Widget.
Your proven podcasts are clearly laid out for you and are easily accessible with just a tap of the finger directly from your home screen. You save time and time, especially when multitasking between training, emails and instant messages. An enhanced and personalized listening experience allows you to keep your flow while doing all of your tasks without missing a beat.
Take a look at this overview of how the widget works:
The widget will display a series of podcasts even when your phone is locked, which are divided into two sections.
In the upper half You can find the podcasts that you listen to the most. Tap on one of them and you will be asked to unlock your phone. Once you do, the Spreaker Podcast Radio app will automatically open for that podcast.
Just below, You will see your most recently downloaded episodes. Tapping any of these options will perform a similar process to the above: you will be asked to unlock your phone. This time, however, you will be automatically directed to a list of recently downloaded files.
Just peasy isn’t it? And your podcast or episode will play instantly too.

And there is more. Along with the widget, a few more ancillary functions are introduced, with which you can get to your favorite content even faster.
