Problem you may be having, or feature you want

From the forum

Since the “refresh” button is now housed in the overflow menu, it takes me a couple of extra swipes and taps, and to make it easier, I used MacroDroid to create a macro that refreshes a podcast when I shake my device.

Suggested solution

Suggested by user:

have “Shake to refresh podcast” option

• Add option "Shake to refresh" under Settings > User Interface > Behavior
• Add option "Detection threshold" right below the 'Shake to refresh' with a slider (see screenshot below for how Element implemented it) - only active if 'Shake to refresh' is on
• If user shakes for the first time after a) this setting was introduced or b) the app was installed fro scratch, show a dialog with the following:
  • Title: Shake to refresh
  • Body: You seem to be shaking the phone. AntennaPod can refresh your podcasts when you do. Would you like to enable shake to refresh? You can always change this in the settings.
  • Options: Yes, No
• If invoked, it applies the 'Refresh' action of the respective screen. I.e. when on a podcast's screen, it refreshes that podcast; when when on the Episodes screen, it refreshes all podcasts for which 'keep updated' is enabled.
