Hi
Hi,
I recently discovered PFM and I like the cloud-centric approach as well as the general UI/UX.
I used to use Google Listen - which whilst only half-developed was good enough and the attraction was the ability to manage in the cloud (not on a single device).
I recognise that PFM excels here.
*Note: I have android devices + web.
A major reason for me to not adopt it is the inability to define specific podcasts to download.
This is part of my own practice/use-case so I'll explain it here. It may well be that I'm not the kind of user that's suited to PFM, or it may be that my usage can evolve :) or maybe PFM could see my comments as an enhancement erquest (can we say "Premium feature" ?).
So...:
I like to:
- add many podcasts to my lists to track/follow
- Some are A-list/always/must-haves I always download
- others are selective - depends on content, my listening availability
e.g. if I have a work trip involving 2x 4hr car journeys I'll need more podcasts available as I will have more listening time.
So...
I would like the ability to selectively download specific podcasts whilst tracking many.
Further (Premium!) feature would be to have a few categories, e.g.:
A) Always Download without fail
B) Highlight these and prompt me - as I often do listen
C) Stuff I track but rarely actually listen too.
*If this were a Google product I would expect it to integrate into "Google Now" and possibly help me decide which category a podcast would fit into :)
I hope this is of interest/use to you and I'd be interested in others' comments. Again - i do respect that my use-case may not be suited to this player's development roadmap... and that's OK.. just thought I'd mention it before I move ewlsewhere :)
