Comment on Pinepods mobile apps and a request for help

Thanks for the update! Really appreciate all of the work that has gone into this.
A few quick questions:
- Will the Android app be available on F-Droid? It looks like it should/will be, but I don’t see it on F-Droid at the moment.
- Is it possible to download episodes from a Pinepods server to a local device via a Pinepods client so the episodes can be stored on something externally, like a USB drive or old MP3 player? If so, can all/multiple episodes on the server for a podcast be downloaded without having to manually select each episode? The only download options that I have seen are for the server to download the episodes from the podcast’s source.

I’d love to have it on F-Droid. Pinepods 100% checks all the boxes needed to be on F-Droid. They’ve stopped responding to me though: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/…/24866 It’s been rather frustrating. It will be on the IzzyOnDroid alternate F-Droid repo though as soon as 0.8.0 is out. And I’ll continue to make an effort to get it on F-Droid ASAP. Nothing I can do if they aren’t responding though.
And yep, the android/ios clients support local downloads in addition to the server downloads. So do the desktop clients. You are correct that currently local downloads only support one episode at a time though. That is on the list to change. All in due time, it’s a brand new app. :)

Thanks for the response!
Sorry to hear about the frustrations regarsing F-Droid, but glad to hear it will at least be on IzzyOnDroid. Excited to check it out once it’s available on there!
Excited to see the app develop over time. I bet Pinepods will be able to meet all my podcasting needs sooner than I can imagine.
