Stuart Jackson (ID: 00000025231beec4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/02/2019 I wanted to like this app as it's the functionality I've been looking for. Sadly though, the shortcuts just repeatedly open a new tab with the login screen for the web player. None of the controls actually work. Hoping it is fixed in the future so that it actually works. Thanks.

Elliot L (ID: 000000e71bd79ab0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/05/2018 This is the best extension for the new PocketCast 2.0 web player! It's easy to pause / play / quickskip forward and back. I cannot recommend this enough.
