What's New in Sparks

1.0.4

October 12, 2020

Find your recently played podcast episodes! New for this version is a list of the 10 most recent episodes you played. It's an easier way to find that podcast episode and finish your listening.  Just hit the 'Recent' option in the Listen section. This version also has a few bug fixes for iOS 14 - mainly around the bottom tab bar and the miniplayer.

Good idea, bad implementation

I’ve often wanted to take notes attached to my podcasts so I thought this would be a perfect app. Alas, it isn’t. It is extremely slow loading episodes, the player is extremely barebones, and there’s no syncing. Deleted after one try.

Just what I‘ve been looking for

I like listening to podcasts on the go, but at the end of the day before bedtime, when I want to consolidate my understanding, it’s annoying when I can’t find which bit to play back. Sparks allows me to drop a marker for the sentences I find inspiring and go back to the precise content again in the future. Great for auditory learners!

Neat idea. Doesn’t work :(

I love the idea here. And the crisp clear layout and fonts.But I’ve had to upload and re-upload the app a couple of times because it keeps crashing. And it has very limited functionality beyond adding comments. Were it to be bugproof and have things like “play next” list or a favourites list I’d be interested in re-visiting.
