Problem you may be having, or feature you want

The icon is pretty strange, and could match for a sleep timer or music player, not a podcast player.

Suggested solution

Is using the normal antennapod icon, with slight adaptions (aa the app is basically antennapod cleaned up) an option? I think that icon is perfect.

Or, possible things:

Look at it poetically. Podcini ~= pod singer. And it's more tuned to Puccini than Elvis; It's more flavored with porcini than white mushroom; Pod is like a crescent moon, or an ear. No antenna needed here. And, did you see the quartet on the moon? They are singing Nessun dorma. Want to sleep? good luck.

As icon relates to Fastlane as well, my I throw in a remark on full_description.txt here, @XilinJia? If you'd throw in an empty line before each bullet-point list (currently lines 13, 19, 24) and use an asterisk (*) instead the graphical dot for each item, it would perfectly render as Markdown, which makes it look much better in my repo :wink: Of course I can also render it the F-Droid way (simply replacing each newline with <br>), but that would only look half as good – especially with lines in the bullet-point lists breaking on smaller screens…

@IzzySoft thanks for the note. Did as you suggested.

Thanks! Enabled that as well then and triggered a pull, so it should reflect with the next sync around 7 pm UTC. Btw: if you want to have the screenshots ordered, and not have it starting with number 10, maybe prefix the other ones with a 0 – e.g. 01_drawer.jpg. But do that before your app is included with F-Droid.org, else they'll duplicate things (last time I checked, their cleanup process was still broken – it's broken for years and still not fixed AFAIK).

Oof, another one:

! ac.mdiq.podcini/en-US/changelogs/3020130.txt has 684 chars

Limit for Fastlane changelogs is 500 chars. They will be cut off precisely at that position if longer, even mid-word.
