Please make a WearOS app that allows me to pick which podcast episodes I want to download directly to the watch, so I can listen to the episodes without my phone connected (no internet connection).

The shuffle mode in the player plays random episodes from the playlist.

Unfortunately, this feature does not cover my use case:
I would like to listen to random episodes of a certain podcast (to fall asleep) without having to empty the playlist first and then manually select episodes and then put them on the playlist.

The current options are 'download' and 'play' though my most common action is to 'add to playlist'. It would be especially helpful if the playlist is empty at the time it would function as a 'play'button.

Add support for push notifications for live podcast stream using the Podcasting 2.0 tag <podcast:liveItem>. If the user turned on this toggle for a specific podcast, they'd receive a notification whenever the podcast stream went live and given the option to stream the show.

I'd like to automatically start a radio station after my podcast episode ends. Please add this!

Looking to buy a new car with Android Automotive. Obviously this doesn't use android auto so doesn't pull podcasts from the phone.
Ideally need a sync function to make sure podcasts, playlists and progress is the same across multiple devices.

Add is the ability to seek by touching screen and dragging to desired position. (VLC has this feature).

I have a premium subscription and I've set my Opening Screen to Player. However, the Player screen has 3 views:
1. The playlist
2. The current episode image and title
3. The episode details

Setting the Opening Screen to Player opens the app on view #2, but I'd like to open it on view #1.

Add a "Listened" button which will add to the Playback Statistic in case data is lost from the accidently removal or unsubscribing from a Podcast

Up to now I can select that the next episode to download can be either the newest one or oldest one.

I suggest to introduce a "catch up" mode.

Therefore I would introduce an Abo date. this is the date when I started the Abo.

I would suggest such a function.

next epidode to download (abodate)

if there is at least one episode newer than Abodate
then take the newest episode
else
take the oldest episode
end

With such a function I would chronologically catch up with the older episodes but also hear new episodes close to the release date.

When displaying the episode time modified by playback speed, it would often be useful to see the timestamps in the episode description adjust similarly. That would make it easier to refer to where you are in am episode, when looking at outline or transcript with timestamps.

When I visit family with limited Wi-Fi, I don't want to use it all up by auto-downloading podcasts (yes, it is possible!). I only have a few podcasts set up to auto-download, not all, but they update daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I can't see a way to pause their daily updates until I'm back on regular Wi-Fi because my main auto-download setting is on "off" (these podcasts have an override to let them download normally). So some way to make ALL downloads manually triggered and, I don't know, override the override(?), would be useful.

Many podcasters struggle to monetize their content and offering boosts over the lightning network directly from the app seems to be the best solution. It also avoids the main podcast gatekeepers from taking a cut. Fountain Podcast app implements this

Having a second copy of the download over wifi/data toggle in the "downloads" menu would make it much easier to find (since it's an infrequently used setting, most people won't know where it is, and when looking it makes sense to look in "downloads" for the option.

Ich verwende gerne das Feature virtueller Podcast. Mir ist aufgefallen, das generelle Einstellungen auch für virtuelle Podcasts gelten. Es wäre gut, wenn man virtuelle Podcast kennzeichnen könnte mit einem kleinen icon. Außerdem wäre eine Einstellung gut, wo man z.b für virtuelle Podcasts andere Einstellungen zum Löschen von gehörten Episoden einstellen könnte. Z.b gelesene Episoden von virtuellen Podcasts nicht zu löschen.

Let it be possible to create a membership that can be accessed from applications for both web and mobile devices. Membership via Google Drive is not useful.
