Create the ability for users to slide their finger up and down the edge of their screen to control things. You can let users define the options as to what is controlled. For example, sliding up the left edge could fast forward, and sliding down the left edge could rewind. Sliding up the right edge could increase the playback speed and sliding down the right edge could decrease the playback speed. Check out Moon Reader app for great examples of how those developers have implemented something like this. Podcast Addict is the best player on the market. Please keep up the great work!

There are certain podcasts that I don't want to check for updates every time the auto-update runs.

Either because the podcast is finished, and I only want to stay subscribed in case the podcast will use their feed to deliver me news of a new, similar podcast they're doing.

Or it's that I know that the podcast will not update more than a few times a year.

Would be cool if I could customize the frequency for each podcast. The same way I can disable updates altogether for certain podcasts.

Addendum:

You could justify this feature as part of an initiative to allow cutting back on battery/cpu cost.

There could also be an advanced option, where the app tries to predict the time a podcast updated, by looking at previous release times.

Additionally, you could use other people's anonymous data sharing, to see when a podcast has updated, and then send push notifications to all users that subscribed to that podcast with the update frequency set to "On-Demand"

It is the only annoying element for myself, that the titles get cut off and I don't know what the episode is about. Every time I want to scan the episodes list I must turn on the auto rotation mode (which I keep off by default), come back to the app and turn the phone 90 degrees to see the full titles in the landscape mode. And once finished, go back and turn the auto rotation mode off. That's a hurdle. And I must repeat it often.

An option to display the full episodes titles in the list view would be BEAUTIFUL.

Could you do it Xavier?

Use case: I set Podcast Addict to add new episodes to the playlist, but not necessarily download them in advance. I want to mark old episodes as played (like old news that I didn't get around to listen to; I don't need them anymore after 1 week). Unfortunately, the settings "Delete older episodes" and "Mark Played on deletion" do not seem to apply for these. I would like to see these enhancements:

1. A global and per-podcast option "Mark older episodes as played"
2. An option (global? Per-podcast?) to remove episodes which have been marked as played (by whatever means) from the playlist.
3. "Automatic Dequeue" does not seem to remove episodes from the playlist when I go through the podcasts and use "Mark older episodes as played", only when they are marked as played by playing them. I think this option should dequeue when manually marking as played, too.
4. Minor wish, not that important with 2. and/or 3. implemented: A way to select all played or unplayed episodes from the playlist.

Currently, it seems that I regularly have to manually mark older episodes as played for each of the podcasts and next manually remove all played episodes from the playlist.

I would like to be able to create multiple regular playlists, where I select which episodes are added to each playlist and not add all episodes of a podcast like in the "custom" category. Also, it should be possible to remove the "video" playlist as I don't have a need for this, and I assume most people who listen to podcasts (while driving etc) also don't.

However, most importantly, I would like to be able to create multiple playlists (like one for listen to now, listen to when I have time, etc) where I am individually adding episodes, not complete podcasts, to the list.
