App is OK - Please update for multiple monitors
Couple of issues I would like development to review:
1.) If you click the app in the menubar on a non-primary monitor (not laptop), the menu shows on the primary monitor. This isn’t the case for other menubar apps.
2.) On the main screen, when you click the search box for “My Podcasts”, the search icon moves to the left and the box doesn’t gain focus. It appears disabled. When you try to type the “beep” goes off. I’m not sure if it’s because I have less than a screen’s height of content to search through but the placeholder text seems misleading. A notification or popup indicating why I can’t use it would be nice.
3.) On the main screen, if you click “+” and choose either “Search Engine” or “Add RSS Feed”, the search bar or textfield of the next screen doesn’t get auto-focus on load. Since this is the obvious behavior, it would be nice to see it automated.
4.) When using “Search Engine”, please show results in a table format with checkboxes so that multiple selections can be done at once without searching again.
5.) Consider a pop-out window for Video podcasts that can be moved around the screen (including a 2nd screen) and capable of being translucent so it’s not too distracting. This will increase the value of watching video podcasts with this app.
6.) Consider moving the “Add RSS Feed” textfield to the menulet app rather than a separate window.
Application can add and load podcasts effectively. Preferences have a good amount of features but not overwhelming. Option to search for podcasts and accept RSS feed is great. With Bartender, menu icons don’t clog up my menu bar and I find this a nice addition. Thank you to the developer. Please see my notes above to increase the quality of the app. App is capable of showing video podcasts.
