I noticed that very long chapter names are cut off in the app. Here is an example:

The current implementation limits the description to 2 lines, which is why the ... show up at the end. Not sure if this was a conscious design choice at the time or a default setting in the interface builder. @leandroalonso can someone from the design team weigh in here? May be a quick fix while you are working on chapter selection.

For reference, Apple Podcasts does not truncate the chapters and I must say that I prefer that look:

@david-gonzalez-a8c any thoughts?

I favor using the entire title like in Apple Podcasts. Real estate in this screen, fully dedicated to chapters, is not that limited compared to others like the player, and I see the usefulness of being able to see the entire title.
