Hi,
There's a button in the playback controls once you start playing a
podcast.
One button cycles through half speed, normal, 1.5 and 2x speeds.
As far as show notes, I also agree that's something that needs to be
added,
since from what I can remember, you can view them in iTunes? Unless that
app
does show them we just don't know where?

So, I decided to try the Apple Podcast app and I have to admit I could not
locate the option for increasing the speed. WOUld someone be so kind as to
tell me where this can be found? The one thing I gather the APple Podcast
app does not have is a way to display the show notes etc. That is
something
I do like and hope they would add. If not I think this would really not
put
the Podcast app in the running with those already available.

I like the suggestion of making the speed control a picker, this would be
nice. Although I find that the double tap and hold to bring up the full
list
of options in downcast a good way of getting to the speed you want fairly
quickly. On the comparison between downcast's and iCatcher's top speed, I
did do a little testing a while back to see since to me they sounded
pretty
much the same. At the time I started the same podcast on both my iPad and
iPhone, one in each app and found that they stayed fairly well in sync,
one
at 2X and the other at 3X.
You might ask what prompted me to waste my time doing this :) I think
at the time I was just thinking to myself that 3x on downcast didn't
really sound any quicker than 2x on iCatcher and I just had to find
out. Now I really might get around to seeing exactly how long it does
take me to listen to an hour long show. I would tell myself to get a
life if I wasn't already to busy to fit one in LOL

I could be wrong, but Downcast feels slightly faster to me than
iCatcher. I too have not done any tests to verify this, but just by
ear, it sounds just a bit faster when maxed out. Perhaps not enough
to be really considered 3 x like they supposedly say, but still. This
is why I even wrote the Downcast developer requesting that they
increase the playback rate since I too use it for audiobook playback
and any other spoken word audio material. Although, if they were to
do that, I would imagine that they'd have to change the current
button set up for changing the speed to a picker action where one can
adjust the playback speed since it can be adjusted by quarter increments
and already that can get somewhat tedious.
Getting back to the Apple podcast app though, accessible though it
may be, their fastest speed just doesn't cut it for heavy usage. I am
going to play around with their podcast search feature since I don't
find Downcast's search feature as robust as it could be.
Now, if the rumored NLS app were to come out and it have the playback
speed option as the digital players, I'd be all over that like ugly on
an
ape.

I also love to speed up the playback of podcasts and audio books. The
app speed up player pro is the fastest that I know of. The one thing
that annoys me is the way various apps label the playback speed. Let
me explain, Downcast's fastest speed is labelled as 3X and iCatcher's
fastest speed is labelled as 2X. Actually if you put both of these
devices at their fastest speed, they playback audio at the same rate.
I haven't checked exactly how long it takes to playback an hours
content on both apps to see which is the correct label but I believe
that
iCatcher is correct in naming the speed 2X.
I know that I can't listen to a 1 hour show in Downcast in only 20
minutes.
It probably stems from the fact that Apples own apps incorrectly
label the fastest speed they do as 2X.
As I said Speed Up Player Pro is the fastest I have come across. It's
fastest is 2.5X and I believe that like iCatcher they have correctly
labelled the speed control.

Yes, I find the fact that you can speed up podcasts up to be
redundant, since they're spoken word content, which in my view
speeding that up hinders consumption of the information.

What do you find redundant and stupid? The fact you can play the
content at
1.5 or double the speed? Does this affect the consumption of the
information? I have to assume the playback speed is the same as the
Music app. I do wish Apple would allow 3X which would really move
things
along.

This app does not appear to have a way to adjust the speed at
which the podcasts play.
This feature is absolutely critical.
Unless I am missing something.
