allow multiple playlists
I listen to different types of podcasts depending on what I am doing. I'd like to be able to separate them so I don't have to keep messing with the order of the list.
919 votesPodcast Addict v3.42 has just been released.
This new version finally adds support to multiple playlists.In order to use this new feature, you can go into the Playlists screen and select the new ‘Custom’ tab.
Then you can select the category of your choice and listen to it.
Those default categories are provided by the podcast owner in their RSS feeds, but you can press on the toolbar ‘Category’ button and add/delete/customize them.
That way you can create playlists like News, Commute, Workout, Audiobooks, SFW, …
Each playlist can have its own sorting mode.Please let me know what you think about this new feature
Thanks

Allow for full automatic backups to cloud storage at regular intervals
Thanks to Google's backup systems, if my phone someday decides to go for a swim or the like, I know I will be able to recover almost all my data up to the crash. This app is the one major exception. In order to fix this, the backup system needs three improvements:
1.) The option to automatically back up my full data, rather than just the OPML file.
2.) The option to use cloud storage as a backup location, rather than just the device.
3.) The option to set an automatic backup at a regular interval, rather than only when…464 votesThis feature has now been released on the Play Store

New material design
It would be good to give Podcast addict a fresh new design with google material design. This would probably also enhance customer experience and boost app downloads.
450 votesEdit: Podcast Addict v3.0 is now available on the Play Store. Please contact me in case of an issue so I can fix it ASAP
Thanks !=========
I just started working on the v3.0
This new version will have a lot of technical modifications to prepare future features of Podcast Addict (Android TV, Android Auto, Android wear, …)
I won’t change the whole app design, but I will do some layout modifications to add a small ‘material design’ touch to the app.
It will integrate better on device running Android 5.0Please join the beta program so you can test the new version and give me some feedback.
Edit: The first beta should be available in the next hour

Mark podcast as listened when is 95% done
When a podcast is done, I skip to the next in queue. I dont want to listen to the entire outro.
As it is now, this leaves a bunch of 99% listened podcasts in my playlist, which is annoying.
388 votesI will add a new setting to allow skipping episodes outro.
This will be a podcast custom setting.
You will have to select the number of seconds to skip at the end of the podcast. Once this threshold is reached the app will consider that the episode has been fully listened to so depending on your settings it will be marked as read, deleted, removes from the playlist and the resume position will be reset.This will be release in v3.4
Edit: Available in the latest beta.
Feel free to test it and to give me some feedbackThanks

Add support for chapter marks
For long audio files support for chapter marks would be great. See here: http://auphonic.com/blog/2013/07/03/chapter-marks-and-enhanced-podcasts/
328 votesThe app now supports chapters for M4A, MP3 and Vorbis files
It can also extract those informations from the RSS feeds.Chapter support includes:
– timestamp
– name
– custom artwork
– custom urls -
Add an "Archive mode" for automatically listening to podcasts in sequential order.
Many of the podcasts I listen to are sequential histories or narrative content. I'd love an "archive mode" for podcasts, where say, if I've already marked episode 1-39 as read, it will automatically download and queue 40 and 41. Then once I've listened to 40, it will automatically download 42 and so on. And of course, it would ignore new episode releases until I've caught up. Currently, I have to go manually download the next few episodes every so often.

Thanks !
I will do some tests to see if I can add an ‘archive mode’ checkbox, that will change the behavior of the current automatic download setting.
In that case the app will keep up to XX downloaded episodes. This number will depend on the maximum number of downloaded episodes to keep which can be set in Settings/Automatic cleanup.Please join the beta user group in order to test this new feature in the next couple of days (http://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/253911-how-to-join-the-beta-program)

Audio Bookmarks in the player
I suggest you add audio bookmark feature in the player.
I like to re-listen 2 or 3 times the same part of a radio podcast and at the moment I have to use another android player do audio-bookmarking.
It would be great if I could have all integrating in one app.
Thanks for considering this idea.283 votesDelivered in v3.33

Pause on Volume=0

Avoid starvation
I use priority sorting because I'm more interested in some podcasts. But some podcasts with lower priority are never played.
It would be useful to have a system to increase an episode priority after n days from the download date.
Something like this https://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/forums/211997-general/suggestions/17962558-priority-queueing-based-on-queue-score or also a sorting boolean variable. Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Next version of the app will include a new playlist mode called ‘Automatic podcast playlist’ (at least for now).
This mode will disable the current playlist and all the ‘add to playlist’ / ‘remove from playlist’ menus and buttons.
When selected, this mode will work like this:Start playing an episode. The app will automatically build a playlist with all the unread episodes of the current podcast. If you press the play button on an episode from another podcast, the app will clear the current playlist and build a new one for the new podcast.

A feature to only keep a specified number of most recent episodes per podcasts
I use too much memory now. If I could manually keep important but delete everything else older than say, the most recent 3 episodes. That would be awesome!
153 votesThis feature has been delivered in the latest version of Podcast Addict (v1.23)
You can define the number of episodes to keep in Settings/Automatic Cleanup.
You can also override this global settings for each Podcast. Long press on the podcast (main screen) and select ‘Custom Settings’ from the menu -
Listening statistics
A statistics section that tracks how many podcasts you've listened to, total listening time etc. I know it doesn't add anything functional, but it would be a lot of fun to have.
153 votesNext version will add a Statistics screen in the app settings, that will show the total listening time, time saved with the skip silence feature. A first beta should be available in a couple of days.
I will improve this screen and add more statistics in the following buildsEdit: Delivered in v3.26

Display "lyrics" or transcript
For people who listen to audiobooks, it would be fantastic to show either the embedded mp3 "lyrics" or from the associated text file. They usually contain the audio transcription of the podcast, which is very useful.
Also, some podcasts like http://drruscio.com/allison-siebecker-interview-sibo-episode-30/ or http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/the-mysterious-corpus-callosum/7377346, they have the transcript in their episode page. If PA can either fetch it or let us add the lyrics manually to be played automatically, it would make life much nicer :-)
142 votesPodcast Addict now supports the new RSS transcript tags. Very few podcasts support this for now, but as soon as they provide the transcript in their feed you will have it in the app. If they provide a synchronized transcript it will be displayed as caption on the player screen

add automatic backups
It would be great if it were possible to backup the database on a regular basis automatically.
Even better would be the ability to automatically upload that backup to a cloud storage service.140 votesThis feature has now been released on the Play Store
