We are very close to WWDC 2022, a developer conference that will, as always, be focused on Apple software. Obviously, the main focus is always on the different operating systems, however, applications such as Podcast could also undergo a facelift. In this post we tell you some of the news that users ask for.
News from Apple Podcast
As we said, during the WWDC the Cupertino company not only announces most of the news that will come to operating systems such as iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS or tvOS, but also sometimes focuses on the applications that Apple itself develops for all users of your devices. In fact, we have already seen how in other past events the company focused on talking about applications such as Apple Music, or others more focused on the professional public, such as Logic Pro or Final Cut Pro.
Therefore, it would not be surprising that well apart, or more likely, within the section that Apple dedicates to talking about iOS, it introduces a series of what’s new within the Apple Podcast app. This app offers great service to all users, however, it is not perfect and there are certain features that could use it very well. Here we talk about some of them.
- One feature that has to come hand in hand with both iOS and iPadOS is the ability to the widget of the application itself is interactive. In this way, all users could pause and advance their episodes without having to enter the application or display the control center. It would add an extra comfort that users would appreciate.
- Aesthetics is a fundamental point, in fact Apple is one of the companies that takes the most care of this aspect, both in the design of its products and in applications. As well, the Apple Podcast interface It has undergone few changes in recent years, so surely a more visual facelift would be great.
- The podcast is, in the end, a content that users consume on a daily basis, in addition, most of these episodes come from content creators, so the interaction between them and the public is vital. Therefore, a fantastic idea that Apple could implement is to give the possibility to listeners and creators, to comment below each episodethat is, create a comment box for each podcast, just as it happens on other platforms.
- Continuing with the idea that the creators of these episodes can have more direct feedback from the people who listen to them, Apple could include the possibility of indicate with a like or a dislike when an episode has been liked by the consumer or not.
All these news they are just ideas that we put on the table, that is, they are not rumors or anything like that. However, we do believe that these could be functions that Apple could implement to make a leap in quality with its podcast application, since it would help both the creators of the podcasts and the listeners.
