drag drop playlist order is not enabled or available
After the changes made to accommodate Google's new rule I removed and re-installed Podcast Addict.
Now I cannot reorder the playlist by drag/drop.
- There are no handles
- There is no option to enable manual sort
1 votePlease restore the default manual sorting mode. After that you will be able to reorder episodes using the handle displayed on the left side of the rows

Have an option to see full episode description
Currently, it's possible to click on the "more" link at the end of a long episode description to go to the feed/website to read the full description. But for episodes with long descriptions, only the timestamps in the abbreviated description will be useable, or show up in the playback UI in Android Auto.
It would be great if the "more" button revealed the whole text of the description in-app, so all timestamps are accessible.
Also it'd just be generally helpful for ease of use to not be directed to another app to read the whole description.
Thanks!
1 voteThe app shows the ful description provided by the RSS feeds you subscribed to. What you’re describing means that the podcaster is choosing not to provide a full description. There’s nothing I can do on the app side.

Add Advanced search options. Specifically an exact phrase option
I've found search results inconsistent even when sorting according to relevance. Some of the episodes that matched my search exactly were lower down than those results that didn't match exactly
Amazing app!
3 votesThe app relies on the Apple search engine for this. Sorry but there’s nothing I can do to change their episode search engine behavior

Podcast searches should match partial words, for example "freak" should find "freakonomics"
When searching for a podcast to subscribe to, "freak" should find "freakonomics". The first use case is so save time, the second use case is that a title like this (with a made up word) might be hard for some people to spell.
1 voteFreakonomics will match here BUT, it will have a lower scrore than the other podcasts using the word freak, therefore it might be push up so low in the list that it won't be visible. You can switch to the Apple podcast search engine in the app if you prefer a different behavior

virtual audiobook: cover being overwritten
virtual audiobook: cover being overwritten with the folder cover when (marked) finished, so different files in a folder end up with the same cover; option to disable cover change when audiobook finished?
1 voteBy default the app deletes episode custom artwork when the episode is marked as played. You can disable this behavior in Settings/Automatic cleanup

Quick Persistent Chapter mute
When you hold a chapters mute icon it adds or removes it from the filter list for that podcast. A color change to indicate one time vs persistent mute would also be nice.
Thank you for your wonderful work.

Option to hide repeat episodes from view
Adding a filter to hide from view "re-runs" or repeat episodes similar to how you can hide fully listened to podcasts from the home screen. Many podcasts repeat episodes to meet their schedule but if you're a regular listener, or just want an easier way to see the universe of episode without the clutter, it's helpful to weed out the repeats.
1 votePlease do not create dusplaiucated entries

Option to prevent download of repeat episodes if you've selected auto download of episodes
I do not believe there is an option to prevent the download of "re-runs" or repeat episodes when you have auto download selected for a podcast. Many podcasts repeat episodes to meet their schedule. I recognize that the repeated episodes may not match up perfectly with the original but an imperfect filter would be better than none.
1 voteYou can filter episodes based on some keywords in their title. By doing so they won’t be displayed in the app, however without this the app cannot know if an episode has already been published or not

Offer Ad Free Version for Patrons on Patreon
I'm trying to move off of Google products as much as possible, and would love it if Podcast Addict was available ad-free for Patrons on Patreon.
3 votesSorry but this isn’t possible. The Play Store and the Google Play Services are mandatory to handle purchases / licenses.
Sorry about that -
create folder for episodes marked as played to unclutter Recent Episodes folder
If I have a couple of dozens of new episodes I may not necessarily want to play all of thenm. As I mark them "played", they still remain in Recent Episodes creating clutter over time. If you move the "Marked as Played" episodes to a dedicated folder, e.g., " Episodes Marked as Played" that'll make Recent Episodes folder more neat focused and friendly.
1 voteYou can press on the toolbar ‘eye’ button to hide played content

Shuffle button for selected podcasts and episodes
Not all podcasts are sequential. I would like the ability to shuffle episodes in selected podcasts so I can listen to a random episode among those that are not sequential.

Notes for podcasts
Would be a nice feature to be able to keep a note as to how the story left off if time between episodes is too long and you don't need to re listen to episodes again.
1 voteYou can already do this by using the episode bookmark feature to set notes associated to a time code in the episode, Feel free to contact me if you have any questions (Settings/Feedback)

In the feed podcast of the RMC radio for exemple there is the full emission during 3 hours more 1 episode for the first hour and this for the second hour and this for the third and the chronique of X etc..

SD Card. Automatic cleanup and episode deletion
Add the ability to manually delete episodes and automatic cleanup when storing files, particularly virtual podcasts, on a memory card outside of the app's folder. Apparently, this requires asking for permission to write to the memory card, like third-party file managers or other apps that allow you to create/delete files do, using Android Storage Access Framework.
1 voteSorry but that’s not possible on the SD card as the app only has permission to write into its own SD card folder

While downloading, the episode appears (in grey) in the playlist so we can place it where we want
I usually download manually episode I want to listen first while I already have many episode in my playlist.
I set the new downloads to be added automatically in the playlist and they appear at the end.But it would be very nice if a "downloading" or a "to be downloaded" episode could appears in the playlist in grey, so we can already place it where we want in the playlist (when I manually download an episode it is because I want to listen it immediately of after an ending one).
Besides, those "ghost" episodes order in the playlist can…
5 votesYou can enable Settings/Download/Play downloading episodes to do this. So if you set the app to automatically add downloaded episodes to the playlist you will see the episode in the playlist as soon as the download starts. Feel free to contact me if I misunderstood what you were asking (Settings/Feedback)
Thanks
