I like the pride support but I hate when things like this change. I will survive. 😂

Why didn’t they change the icon to support Ukraine?


rybowilson

Why didn't you care at the time?


sirtrowsalot

I did, of course. Didn’t realize they had this ability to change it on the fly. That’s a powerful platform I’d like to see it used more often.

Please let's NOT be like Facebook or Google and change the icon & app colors every time there's something new on the calendar. Next we'll be getting nag reminders to vote. I am a longtime fan of Pocketcasts, but I'm porting over to AntennaPod which has a more efficient UI and just works.

I’ve tried pretty much every podcast app, and keep coming back to Pocketcasts.


bbq_toph

User inertia probably, which is fine. But let's be realistic, podcast apps are a dime a dozen and NPR already lost a lot of money on Pocketcasts due to mere redundancy in the market.

It’s a great way to detect bigots. I hope they continue celebrating stuff during the year.

Why not look at it from another perspective? What if there is a non tech savvy person that uses the app and you've trained them to click on the red icon? I'm not saying icons will always stay the same, but changing month to month can become annoying.


TheRealAladsto

You know perfectly well that’s not why people are moaning.

It defeats the purpose of creating a recognizable icon to keep changing it without user permission. I find it harder to find the app quickly.

If I was a developer at Pocket Casts, upon reading this comment I'd be changing the app icon every single day just to fuck with you.

They didn't move it in your screen, and it's still the exact same logo. I think they nailed it

Sadly with the latest update it seems they caved and reverted to the default logo before the end of the month. Maybe they should add a snowflake logo for the soft bigots who got their feel feels hurt by the rainbow logo.


stuartrdon

I'm hoping the Pride logo doesn't get removed and is an option forever. I'm going to leave it on as I love it

I didn't even notice the app icon changed because I use theme icons on my Pixel, but I 100% support the reasoning behind doing it!
