Last year when I switched to Pocket Casts for all my (cross-platform) podcast needs, I released a purple version of the official app icon, because, well, thanks to Apple Podcasts my brain is hardwired to think of podcasts as purple.
When iOS 18 came out on Monday with support for alternative dark app icons, I quickly realized that my purple Pocket Casts icon wasn’t really working there. So I went back to the Apple Podcasts app, which now only shows a purple icon on a dark gradient for dark mode. And so I updated my icon with the same style – here’s my purple Pocket Casts icon for dark mode.
And while I was creating the icon, I noticed that the alternative „Reeder 4“ icon, that I have always used as the icon for Reeder 5 (now „Reeder Classic“), didn’t quite match the dark mode either. So I just changed it, here is the slightly darker Reeder 4 icon.
