Episode URLs Truncated at 1020 Characters
Our development team has updated our database to allow for episode file URLs up to 3000 characters in length. This new limit will apply to all episodes added after the fix was applied to our server on February 5, 2026.
All episodes that were added prior to the fix will still be limited to file URLs of 1020 characters in length.
Older episodes that are impacted by this limitation can still be listened to in Pocket Casts, but will have to be downloaded outside of the app and added using the Files feature. You can find information about Files in our documentation.

Android Automotive Sync
Currently, the native Android Automotive app does not sync progress automatically. You need to refresh by using the “Refresh Now” button in the app’s settings page. Our team is working to improve this feature by implementing background refresh.
