Version 1.5: is an upgrade release that enhances functionality within the application.

- Sound Engine: The sound engine was completely rewritten with a standard and an advanced mode. In advanced mode, podcasts can played at up to 2x their normal speed (depending on the device type). This requires a fast device so it is an option to users and not forced (the standard engine is the default). Should any users experience problems in the advanced mode they can simply choose the standard mode in their user settings and still fully enjoy the programs.
- Wider Android device support and detection: More users should be able to access and use the application now from any device they choose. For Android where there are thousands of possible devices, should anyone experience problems simply send your device information to customer support and we will add support for it through update cycles.
- Native modal alerts added: Users are warned of low memory situations, when hard drive space is limited or when the application needs to inform users or confirm things like podcast deletion or logging in/out.
- Improved chapter functionality and targeting when selecting a different chapter from the chapter list.
- Chapter icons have been added to the chapter list.
- Improved list handling: Lists now load and reload much faster.
