How can I directly access my downloads, subscriptions, playlist and new Episodes?
For Android users
If you are are using Android 7.1 and above, you may press and hold the Castbox icon on your phone to use the shortcut feature - four options will appear - "Subscribed", "Downloaded", "Playlist" and "New Episodes". You can also add them as shortcuts on your home screen, and click to directly access different sections. (Some phones may not support the "shortcut" feature.)
For iOS users
Please use 3D touch feature - deeply press the Castbox app logo on your iPhone home screen, then you will see "Share Castbox", "Subscribed", "Playlist", "New Episodes" and "Download". Press one, and you can access that section directly.
