  If you love something, set it free, or so the saying goes. Pocket Casts has been a paid app since 2010 when it first launched. Back then we had a small company to run and people's families literally depended on us charging for our app. It was a business model that worked well in terms of paying the bills, but always caused confusion with our customers. "Do I have to pay again if I switch from a robot phone to a fruit based one?", "Why is the app paid?", "How can I recommend this to friends when it will require them to pay?".
  
  Today, things are different. We have the backing of some amazing partners, all of whom come from, and firmly believe in, an open access model. For a while now we've felt that charging for the app conflicted with their core values of being open and available to everyone. Clearly we had to do something about it, and so in the spirit of Shifty Jelly of yore, we did. After many months of hard work, we introduce you to version 7.5!
  
  If you want a detailed write up on everything that's changing and why it's changing please visit our blog (blog.pocketcasts.com). We'd love to share some highlights on here though:
  - The app is now completely free, and every feature previously available in the paid version is still available in the free version.
  - We've introduced a completely optional premium tier: Pocket Casts Plus. Among other benefits, Plus members get exclusive access to new themes and icons.
  - You can now import your own audio files into Pocket Casts and listen to them sped up and with silences removed. Plus members can also upload these files to the cloud so they are available on all your devices.
  - Improved account control. You can now do things like change your email and password inside the app, without having to go to the web.
  - Performance enhancements and fixes. We spent a large part of this release focussing on performance and usability, tweaking and honing the app to make it our most refined release yet.
  
  We hope you'll join us on this next

  There once was a boy named Tony, who so wanted a little pony. His daddy said no, so the pony had to go, and that's how it ended for Tony.
  
  All of which is to say, we've fixed some more bugs. Our aim here is to make v4.2 super stable before we add some more awesome features in 4.3. Also a programming legend called Tony helped us fix some of the more tricky bugs, so we wrote him a little story.

  - Added the ability to choose what your app badge shows. Quick someone throw a kid into the air in celebration!
  
  - Fixed: scrolling to the bottom of the podcast grid view, tapping the last podcast, then swiping back twice would crash the app
  - Fixed: ending a show (with no more shows in up next) with the full screen browser opens results in you not being able to get out of the player when you press done
  - Fixed: on a manual playlist pressing play from the episode card didn't queue up the rest of the podcasts for the 'up next' list
  
  -------------------------------
  Or in the form of a fun kids rhyme:
  Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout.
  Down came the rain, and washed poor incy out.
  Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain
  And then a Shifty Developer stomped on Incy's brain.
  
  It's a metaphor people. Incy represents both the actual bugs in our app and the post-modern existentialist struggle between perfection and the human condition. Ponder that a while.
  
  I represent the Shifty Developer, that part isn't deep, not everything is, get back to work.

  For the Serious People:
  - fixed stuttery downloads on fast connections
  - fixed the 'http 416' error some people were getting
  - fixed some crashes and iOS 6 weirdness
  - attempted fix for when the app sometimes doesn't play when you lock the screen. If this still happens to you please email us and help us track it down.
  
  For the not so serious people:
  - Rejigerated the Unicorn vs Pixie dust ratios
  - Reticulated the horizontally opposed splines
  - Reimaginated the flux capacitor settings
  - Reinvigorated the playback differential
