Trivia: This is the 6th anniversary edition of RSSRadio!
Themes:
* Refreshed UI
* Better performance and stability through updating to new API’s
* Many user requested features implemented including listening history screen, DSP settings per podcast and cloud import/export/backup/restore
* Many small friction and pain points removed / polished
Complete Notes:
* Improved watch app performance
* Improved database performance through moving large objects to separate tables
* Watch quick launch complication
* Improved spotlight indexing of shows
* Users with very large numbers of downloaded files can now see their usage stats
* Added screen to view recently listened shows

* UI to Import a media file directly from a cloud drive service
* New subscription setting - “End Playing At”

* Ads have moved outside the main UI of the app, allowing free users to use the new mini player and enhanced landscape now playing view
* Improved performance with large numbers of categories
* You can view how many shows are in the database for each podcast in the usage report
* RSSRadio will warn the user of various performance issues and provide advice on fixing them
* Increased some font weights to look better with future iOS versions
* The sleep timer remembers your last selections for quick access
* A large refactoring to adopt more recent API’s means RSSRadio requires iOS9, the largest visual change is that show titles in lists are no longer truncated
* Improved 3D Touch compatibility
* If the app receives a push notification for a new show but the feed doesn’t show it yet (due to caching or internet weather) it can get the details direct from RSSRadio’s server to begin the download soonest
