Hey Andreas,

Please see my comment on your previous user story regarding the format of the value proposition and the scribble 🙂 As well, it would be nice if you would use real content in the scribble and no placeholder text (e.g. selected episode, podcast, artist)

Hi Andreas,

Looks good.

It will be nice if after pressing the play button again, the episode starts from the moment the user stopped it and not from the start, but im sure that this will be a future feature

Hi Petros,

thanks for your feedback! Exactly, that's an idea for a future feature.
