You may already be familiar with our Live+ add-on (advanced audio player). This add-on has been part of GoodBarber's catalog for a long time and has been updated regularly. You can find more info on this feature in this article.

The latest update for this feature is the Sleep Mode., allowing your listeners to set a timer to shut down the live.

How to activate it?

In your app back office. in the settings panel of the Live+ Section, you will now see a new bloc “Sleep mode” below the current block Scheduling.
From there you can enable the feature and set a default value for the timer. 

Please note that this feature is only available on your native apps.

 

How does it work on the user side?

Once the option is activated,  your listeners will see on the top right of the live+ section the Sleep Mode icon. 
The timer is open by clicking on this icon. Users will be able to see the remaining time under the icon. They can stop the timer by clicking on the icon again.

Siri Actions: ask your GoodBarber iOS app for its latest article or video

Siri Actions now answers two new questions: the latest article and the latest video in a section of a GoodBarber iOS app. Siri names the item and offers to open it by voice. They reach every app with its next store update. Siri Actions is the set of questions a GoodBarber iOS app answers out loud, for newspapers, radio stations, schools, organizations and any app that publishes content. Its first question, "What's new", gives an overview of your home screen. When we launched it in September 2026, we said the next one would be the latest article in a section. Here it is, and the latest video comes with it. Each goes straight to one item and offers to open it. Your audience goes from a question to the article in a single conversation, without searching for it.
