  1. 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…

    You 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

  2. add refresh end time option

    There already exists an option to start the refresh at a certain time, but why not an end time so the app is not constantly refreshing when we don't need it to.

    The app start refreshing at the specified time using the frequency set up. So if you set up a refresh every 12 jours starting at 5:00am it will only refresh twice a day (5:00am and 5:00pm). The app won’t be refreshing all the time so I don’t see the purpose of this ‘refresh end time’ option

  3. hide downloaded podcasts

    add option to hide downloaded podcasts in other music applications (like google music). the placement of a .nomedia in d/l dir didntt worked

  8. Playlists will sometimes skip to next without touching the phone

    Need a fix. Using Samsung GS3, listening to my podcasts either in the car or at the gym. In either case the phone is asleep with the podcast running in the background. Every now and then, in the middle of the podcast I'm listening to, it just skips to the next one in the playlist. I have no idea why. A fix would be MUCH appreciated.

  9. check mark for podcast that is already subscribed.

    In the subscribe to new podcast area/tab/thingamabob, have a little check mark for already subscribed podcasts.

    This will make it easier to identify podcasts that are already subscribed and when subscribing to more than one (like if you are setting your device back up from a reload) it will be easier to identify if you have already subscribed to a certain podcast.

    Use th Contact support button instead.
    What you describe is a known issue on devices using MT65xx and ARM7 CPU. Because of a CPU bug resuming playback will fail with every android apps.
    Please try using the specific workaround in Settings/Player. It seems to work for some users

  11. long-press menu item "enqueue downloaded"

    I've lots of podcasts that will be downloaded and enqueud automatically. But I've podcasts where I download podcast episodes manually on a selective basis.

    A menu item for podcasts "enqueue downloaded [and unread]" next to "enqueue unread" would be very helpful.

    Alternative/Additional suggestion: the possibility to "download and enqueue" an episode.

  12. allow podcasts to at least resume playing when a game launches or similar app

    Android has different audio channels. Podcast Addict uses the STREAM_MUSIC channel. Only one app can play on a specific channel at a time. So if this other app uses the same channel to play some sound, then Podcast Addict won’t be able to play and will stop. This is the normal behavior

  14. Have playlist time worked out using the listen speed

    Currently when listening to my podcasts at 2.5 speed still tell me normal speed time for playlist time
    Possibly use currently running podcast with by option
    Possible problem could be using different speeds for different podcasts
    Many thanks

    You can store you’r downloaded episodes on the SD card by selecting SD card in Settings/Download/Storage folder.
    Moving the whole app on the SD card isn’t a good idea because the performance of the app database will then be really low and the SD card tends to get often corrupted compared to the device internal memory

  16. When Sorting by Download Date, Do Not show episodes that have been deleted

    Because of Marshmallow SD Card restriction, I have to manually copy / delete podcasts via a file manager app (fx).

    Unfortunately, podcast addict still thinks the files are downloaded and shows them when I set 'Downloaded' (instead of Latest Episodes) and Sorted by download date.

  17. Delete/hide episodes longer/shorter than

    My favorite feed is filled with short highlights from the longer episodes that also are in the same feed. So I have to manually delete them every time I update the feed. There could be a rule that automatically delete episodes shorter than x minutes after the feed has been updated.

    You can already do this if the podcast RSS feed contains the duration information. To do so, long press on the podcast, select ‘Custom settings’, then Filter and select the duration criteria for the episodes. This criteria will then be applied to future episodes of the podcast

  18. Add a 30 seconds back/forward buttons

    I listen at work and routinely get interrupted. If I forget to press pause, I can't move back just a little to hear what I missed.

    You can enable playback of episodes while they are downloading.
    In that case you can start downlaoding an episode and then press play. The app will play the content already downloaded instead of streaming. Then depending on your automatic cleanup settings, the episode will be deleted automatically once playback is done
