It can be good for a lot of stuff, especially lengthy typing, but you shouldn't be typing 800 word feed backs anyway.

Of course, I just thought it was a good idea to cut out the middleman and keep evwrything in-app instead of having to go through your music library. Plus itunes on the phone only goes back 300 episodes

You cannot download episodes that are older than the past 200 or 300 shows. The greatest feature I'd want is to be able to search episodes by guest name right upto episode 1. These days with spooky's hiatus, I'm digging his old episodes.

I'll eventually being adding episode pics and guest lists I probably won't be replicating the guests page anytime soon. Not ruling it out, just not putting it in my roadmap yet.

That is a ton of work for not nearly enough payoff, if you want multiple episodes use the itunes app, if you want old episodes use a computer. This app is meant to represent most common use cases, not be the be all end all of your katg experience.

Alright, just an idea. I use the safariDL tweak to grab mine from libsyn.org anyway. Not being a developer, I assumed it would be simple since the information and link to the file is already there to be streamed.

You can use my forum name.

I'll be crediting beta testers seperately when the support site for the app goes live. There are 26 testers and thats too much to put in the app.

I'm messing with certificates, if your app gives you some static about authentication or something I'll post a new build in a couple hours.
