Thanks for testing:

The application needs the following permissions to function correctly:

  • Storage - modify/delete SD card contents. This is needed to save downloaded podcasts to the SD Card and later delete them.
  • Network Communication - full internet access and view network state. This is needed in order to download podcasts from the internet, but to only try it when the phone has access.
  • Phone Calls - read phone state and identity. This is to detect incoming calls to allow a playing podcast to pause automatically.
