The title says it all. Many other apps show the position within the file (timestamp) in a large font in the center of the screen while you are scrubbing (dragging the position slider). The reason this is needed is often you will want to drag to skip the first three minutes of a podcast, but your thumb blocks the time stamp.

    That’s a great idea. In case you didn’t know, if you hit the dot and drag your finger up (or down), you can see the numbers as you move left/right.

    Edit to add: The third party SonoPhone app does exactly this. Put the timestamp in large font in the center of the screen while scrubbing.
