## What is Combust Media?

Combust Media brings everything you listen to and watch into one beautifully simple app — on your iPhone, iPad and in the car.

PODCASTS
Search millions of shows, subscribe to your favourites and pick up every episode exactly where you left off. Line up what's next with an Up Next queue, and keep listening in the background or from the lock screen.

RADIO
Thousands of stations with live now-playing info, background audio and lock-screen controls — plus hands-free listening in the car with CarPlay.

LIVE TV & YOUR PLAYLISTS
Import your own M3U / M3U8 / PLS playlists by URL or file, sort them into folders and favourites, and watch live channels in a fast, easy grid. A built-in TV guide shows what's on now and next.

HEARTH - YOUR MEDIA, FROM HOME
Stream the movies, series and music on your own computer straight to your phone - private, on your home network, with posters and descriptions that make your files feel like a streaming service.

CUSTOM MODES
Unlock extra libraries with a code — movies, series and audio served by independent developers.

CAST & AIRPLAY
Send anything to the big screen with AirPlay or Chromecast, and keep using your phone while it plays.

SLEEP TIMER
Drift off to anything — set a timer and playback gently fades out and lets your screen sleep.

LINK YOUR TV
Signing in on the TV app? Just scan a QR code with your phone — no typing passwords with a remote.

Sign in on your TV with your phone

No more typing passwords with the remote — the TV sign-in screen now shows a QR code. Scan it with the app (Settings → Link your TV) and you're in.

Also in this update

• Set Hearth as your startup screen
• Redesigned in-app alerts
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

A couple of store-specific notes: for the App Store's "What's New" this fits as-is (bullets and emoji are fine); Play Console strips some formatting, so if it complains, swap the bold headers for plain lines. And if you want a shorter Play variant (500-char style), here's one:

New: Hearth — stream your own movies, series and music from your computer to your phone and TV, private on your home network (combust.media/hearth). Plus: sign in on your TV by scanning a QR code with your phone, set Hearth as your startup screen, redesigned alerts, and bug fixes.
