Enable the user to specify the date range for any given feed. Example :set download to only download and keep podcasts that are X days or weeks old from the current date.

The setting to set the # to be downloaded and unplayed, will download podcasts many months old just to keep that # active in the que. One must then mark them as read, update the feed, then delete the old ones again.

Using Exoplayer as the internal play for Podcast Addict would fix some issues I have with HLS streams (that I use for Radio Stations).

One example is that Podcast Addict does not honour the EXT-X-START:TIME-OFFSET tag in HLS level event playlist. I'm sure there may be others.

Exoplayer is open source and could be integrated into Podcast Addict as another optional media player

I often go to the "All" section of the sliding menu and do a search for a keyword so I can add all related episodes across all my subscriptions to the playlist. It would be great if I could save the search to easily run it repeatedly.

When I play a radio station, it'll show the current song on my phone, but once I use chromecast, the screen changes and current song is replaced by (translated) "Casting to Living room".

FYI TuneIn Radio is able to show the current song whilst casting.

Automatic cleanup allows one to specify a maximum number of episodes of a podcast to be downloaded at any one time. I would like to be able also to specify the minimum number of episodes of a podcast to be downloaded at any one time.

Most of my podcasts I want to download only at home, but a few of others I want to download at work

Nowadays audio routing is limited to Chromecast devices.
It would be nice to route audio to Airplay Speakers.

If many podcasts are present, it is a bit difficult to navigate or scroll to a specific podcast (to rely on the podcast icon is not of great help, if in grid mode, at least). To filter or search by name would help...

I know it shows how many files WERE deleted, briefly, after the action is performed. I would find it more helpful if the confirmation dialogue indicated how many files were ABOUT to be deleted.

It would be very nice to be able to add Instagram pages to the podcast list since there are tons of accounts that share short videocasts on Instagram.

I wish the possibility to choose the number of loop when the playlist is set to auto and the podcast is in alternate. I want to randomize my playlist but listen the last episode of each podcast and not in random of all my podcast

I always bump up the priority on audiobook podcasts, and shut off the skip silence feature that I use for everything else. It would be lovely to have settings that apply to all new virtual folder podcasts, so that I am not tweaking settings every time i check out an audiobook from the library.

A search function to quickly find podcasts in your grid. I have ~100 podcast subscriptions and it isn't always easy to pick out the podcast I'm looking for when scrolling through my grid layout. Would be cool to click on a magnifying glass button at the top of the screen and start typing the name of the podcast I'm looking for in my subscriptions. It would then return the podcast I'm looking for and I could click that to enter the list of the podcast's episodes.

Sometimes episodes have cover art that's a reference to something in the show, or maybe I just want to get a better look. There's currently no way to zoom in or even see it full size on the screen. It's the only thing I've thought was lacking in the app for four years.

would be great to have an Android Activity or a shortcut (or even a widget) to instantly toggle between fast and regular speed from home screen or elsewhere.

this would be helpful for speeding up the talking portions of a music podcast without skipping them altogether.

On the page with all my podcast shown on tiles, I would like to customize the order they show up. Rather than choosing to sort by, number of played/unplayed, old - new etc.

Have an option in the downloaded episodes screen to delete all partially played episodes (rather than just episodes that have been completed).
