Help pocketcasts issue

[glasshalffull]

Been using pocketcasts for years and I had to uninstall and then re-install pocketcasts on my s4 android phone.

Got pocketcasts before sync was an option, so i do not have a pocket casts account and cannot sync to solve this problem below....

After reinstalling the app, all of my podcast are gone, they are not showing up. I had 50+ podcasts, several playlists and downloaded podcasts.

I'm pretty sure i was saving the old data on my ext card in this location: \SCH-I545\Card\PocketCasts ...when into storage settings and made that my "custom storage location" but it's not restoring any of that data to the dashboard.

how do i reconnect pocketcasts with the data that is stored on my phone so that all of my podcasts will show back up in the app dashboard0?

thanks

I could be wrong but I don't think you can, even having it "sync" doesn't help (you would think it would). Every time I reinstalled Pocketcast I ended up have to manually go through each podcast (and my count is somewhere around 50) and download the episodes I want. I suppose I am fortunate because I more or less listen to my podcasts in the order they are received so I don't have to manage playlists.

Hope you find an answer - I would suggest contacting the developer.

so is there a way to pull all the names of the podcasts you had subscribed to, out of the data saved on the phone, so that you can manually subscribe to those podcasts again?

man, i have a love/hate relationship with pocketcasts. Everybody says it's one of the best but it doesn't do some of the basic things you'd think it should do.

Like simply being able to search keywords that are listed in a specific show's details instead of only being able to search the keywords of a title of a podcast.......and this problem....making it easy to plug back into your podcast subscriptions by reconnecting to your data folders

frustrating
