My ssue

The playback speed for the podcast is being reset to 1x every time you open the app. Previously, the app would remember your setting and start playing the podcast at the speed you had chosen before (for example, 1.2x). It is really annoying to have to change this setting each time you open the app.

This issue began in the last couple of weeks, before that, it worked just fine.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. 

Our teams have made some changes and we're happy to say this should be fixed now. Make sure to update your app to the latest version so you don't miss out on any developments.

Let us know how it goes!

It started this morning, I usually listen to podcasts in 1.3x cause my brain needs it to be faster lol, but this morning I noticed that it goes back to 1x every episode or so… it’s a pain:/

My Question or Issue

Why does it do that?

[Mormorbetty]

These seems to be unrelated as my issues is with the speed changing when a podcasts that has video ques up (despite not even enabling the video). If my speed is set to 2.5x it will remain for all podcasts without video until one with video ques up and then it will be set to 1x. Not even the maximum of 2x. I find it having a maximum to also be strange though. But at least I wish it wouldn't drop to the slowest. This has more or less forced me to listen to everything at a maximum of 2x since it is too annoying to change it when it slows down and you have your hands full. The speed is usually consistent between closing and opening the app which seems to be the issue for the rest of the people here.
