Feature Request: Integration with External Platform Rating Systems
Summary
I would like to request a new feature that would allow AntennaPod users to rate, like, and comment on podcast episodes directly through the AntennaPod interface, with these interactions being reflected on external platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Problem
Currently, when I enjoy an episode in AntennaPod and want to leave a rating or comment, I need to exit the app and open the respective platform (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.) where the podcast is hosted. This disrupts the listening experience and often results in me not leaving feedback at all, which is unfortunate for podcast creators who rely on engagement metrics.
Proposed Solution
Implement a cross-platform interaction system within AntennaPod that would allow users to:
- Rate/Like episodes: Add the ability to give star ratings or likes that would sync with major podcast platforms
- Leave comments: Provide a comment interface that would post to the respective platform
- View existing ratings and comments: See what others have said about episodes without leaving AntennaPod
Technical Considerations
This would require:
- Integration with the APIs of major podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc.)
- Authentication system to connect users’ accounts from these platforms
- Privacy settings to control which platforms receive user interactions
Benefits
- For users: Seamless podcast listening and engagement experience
- For podcast creators: Increased engagement as the barrier to providing feedback is lowered
- For AntennaPod: Enhanced value proposition as a comprehensive podcast app
Thank you for considering this feature request!
