User reviews

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.

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.
