v2.9.5 — Podcast polish, a fuller mobile composer & community updates — Stanza Help

Podcasts feel finished on every platform, with consistent player controls, easier transcripts, and chapters and seasons. The mobile composer catches up with background presets and form templates, Community gains suggested poets, and sign-in errors finally say what went wrong.

A polish release: podcasts, the mobile composer and Community all got a careful pass.

Podcasts, polished
