What's New in WavCast
1.2.1
September 13, 2026
Playback speed now sticks. Pausing, taking a call, or joining a SharePlay session used to quietly drop playback back to 1x while the speed picker still showed your choice. Resuming now continues at the speed you set. Episodes that end through an outro skip now stay marked as Played instead of reappearing in Continue Listening. Fixes an empty pill that could appear above the tab bar when nothing was playing, which clipped the row of shows beneath it. The mini player now appears only while something is actually playing. A file imported to Downloads in the first moments after launch could be removed by the storage cleanup. That cleanup now waits until your downloads are fully loaded. A handful of buttons and labels showed internal placeholder names instead of real text, including Generate Summary, Generate Chapters, Support, Copy Address, and the clip caption controls. All of them now read correctly in English and Spanish. Fixes SharePlay activation from the player menu. Built for iOS 27, with compatibility and stability work throughout.
