I built a Podcast app for Xbox One which is gamepad friendly and fix audio break in background

Hi, fellow gamers in the subs.

[Download Link to the app](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/podcasted/9nxwgr2b1p26)

Another way to download the app is that you can search "Podcasted" or "Podcast" in store, seeing the app is on the third or fourth place of the searching queue called "Podcasted".

Here comes the long description ->

I spent three months to build this app and dozens of hours testing on Xbox. I know there are couple great podcast apps on the platform as well that I bought and enjoyed using previously. But sometimes I suffer from audio break by them, which audio will play only 10 minutes after I let the app enter background and back to the app showing the episode progress come to an end. I have to close the app and restart it. I tried to fix this issue and reduce the possibility of audio breaking on my app.

And of course, the app is fully compatible with gamepad control.

As always I'm gonna post the Xbox feature list of the app:

- Progress: Stop anywhere, the app will continue playing next time

- Subscribe and download podcast

- Variable speed: change the play speed from 0.5x to 2x

- Sync: app data via cloud (Manually)

- Sleep timer: Let you stop podcast on time

- All platforms: desktop, tablet, mobile and Xbox running on all Windows platforms

- Audio & Video: Support both video and audio podcast

- Refresh: Check for new episodes with one click

- Filters: Filter or sort your podcasts' episodes by played, download, time and alphabet

- Search: Search any podcast you want to hear, also in episode list (gamepad shortcut: press Y )

- OPML: Seemlessly jump on board with OPML import. No need for furthur searching or migrating

- Theme: Both support for Dark and Light theme to meet your preference

There is 5-podcasts subscription limitation on basic version, but I leave a back door to let you break this limitation. You can import the OPML feed list from other podcast app (including iTunes), and it'll not stop you from adding podcasts subscription after hit the 5 podcasts limitation. You can import it via PC version and upload the app data to the cloud, and download it from cloud. Or you can simply put the OPML file to the USB stick and directly import it from settings panel in the app. Except this, all features are available on the basic version.

Anyway, it won't hurt you since the app is free and you can try it with seconds of downloading. Combined all functionalities in one page with minimalistic design, so there isn't any crazy pages of navigation.

Thanks to moderator allow me to submit the post.
