Custom view filter for each podcast
In each podcast, there is the drop down menu option to filter so I only see All, Recent (7 days), Downloaded, Favorite, etc. The default filter is All. The issue is that when I exit the podcast page or exit the app, the filter changes back to All if I had changed it to anything else. It would be good to be able to save the filter on a per podcast basis. So e.g. if I set the filter to Downloaded, when I exit the app or podcast page and later re-enter the podcast page the filter remains set to…
3 votesYou can already set the app so that each podcast will use its own filter. To do this, go to Settings/Display/Podcxast and set default filter to 'Last filter (per podcast)'

Programmatic advertising filter
I am happy with adverts in podcasts, it's how they pay their rent, but programmatic ads are lazy and obnoxious for me. Sometimes the volume level is completely different and it can ruin a nice peaceful show. Please can we have a clear indicator of which podcasts use this, and a filter for when we are searching for new podcasts? Maybe even a notification if already subscribed podcasts suddenly start using them?
Many thanks!1 voteSorry but it is impossible to know which podcast is usgin dynamic ad insertion. Sorry but this feature cannot be implemented

Highlight new episodes when refreshing
On the Recent Episode tab, would be great to have new episodes be highlighted or visually distinguished, just temporarily until you leave Recent Episodes.
When subscribed to many podcasts, a refesh could pull in dozens of episodes and it's unclear which ones I have/haven't looked at already.
1 voteThere's a dedicated screen with the list of new episodes. You can access it by pressing on the NEW episodes notification

Change notification icon to Playback symbol
Currently, the status bar icon of Podcast Addict is the logo. However, status bar icons are so small, that it hardly looks like anything but a random spot/dot.
I think it would be far more useful to change that icon into a "Play" (triangle) icon when podcast is being played, and to "Payse" ( II ) icon when playback is paused.
The icon would become functional and informative.1 voteI'm sorry but Google asks developers to show the app logo on the player notification

Hide notification icon
I am re-posting this suggestion, since the original request was denied based on false information.
"I love how customizable the notification settings are... but can you add the ability to hide the icon from the notification bar, while still listing the player when I swipe down? The player is always there, so no need to show an icon all the time. I have a samsung s21 with android 11. I don't think my previous phone did this. So to be clear, when I'm looking at my home screen, I don't want to see the podcast addict icon…
1 voteAndroid doesn't allow to post notifications without any icon. I'm sorry to hear that you don't accept this answer but again, this is how android works, and every new version of android adds even more constraint and forces older app to remove features...

Show dictionary option in the description pop out menu
In the Android system, when a user long-presses on a text area, the pop-up menu usually displays registered translation or dictionary apps to translate or look up the selected word. However, in the episode description text area of Podcast Addict, this option is not available in the pop-up menu that appears when long-pressed. Can this option be added?
3 votesYou can already long press on the episode description text and you will have access to the standard Android text selection menu

Allow separating science fiction and horror when searching for new podcasts.
Is there a way you can please allow separating science fiction and horror? They're not the same thing necessarily. Thank you!
1 votePodcasters follow the standard categories and select the ones matching best their content. Then podcast apps allow you to select filter by categories. However unless new official categories are created and podcsters start to use them we are limited to the current categories

include ability to wake up to a playlist
the current options for alarm are: podcast, ringtone, radio, or NULL. could we add the ability to start a playlist (or to resume playback of a current one?)?
i like to use the timer function to listen as i fall asleep, then id like to be woken up to the next podcast in that playlist queue. can this be done easily?
please and thanks devs!
1 voteOptions are to listen to a specific radio, specific podcast, to resume playing the current episode or to start playing the category of your choice. Both the last options means playlist. Please send. Me an email if you have any questions (Settings/feedback)

The timer should be able to switch off app
To save energy, it would be useful if the timer could stop the app, not just the player. This would allow the phone to consume less power overnight.
1 voteI'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean here. The sleep timer stops the player, so after that there's nothing more running and he app won't be using any battery. There's nothing more to stop here

change 'sort remaining time' to take account of playback speed
If you have different podcasts with different custom playback speeds then sorting by remaining time sorts them by their overall length if played at 1x but the UI shows their lengths based on their custom speeds, which makes it look like the list is mis-sorted. When sorting by remaining time what I'm really looking for is the podcasts which will be consumable fastest, so I really want the podcast at the top which I can listen to from beginning to end the quickest.
1 voteCan you please make sure that you enabled the setting to take playback speed into account for episode duration in Settings/Display/Episodes?
If so, then sorting by Remaining time takes plkayback speed into account

Provide file names for episodes
Xavier, I understand the need to keep episode names due to the vagaries of podcast hosting servers, but I would like to at least SEE the original filename from within the app. It doesn't have to be in the player, just somewhere in the episode information. Is that possible?
1 voteYou can customize the name of downloaded episodes fom Settings/Download/Custom filename

Shuffle for specific Podcast
The shuffle mode in the player plays random episodes from the playlist.
Unfortunately, this feature does not cover my use case:
I would like to listen to random episodes of a certain podcast (to fall asleep) without having to empty the playlist first and then manually select episodes and then put them on the playlist.7 votesYou don't have to empty your playlist. If you want to listen to a specific podcast instead of the conentn of your playlist, you just need to use the continuous playback mode option. You will find all the details in the app faqs (Settings/FAQs), then you can enable the shuffle mode when listenbing to this podcast and then disable it later when you resume playing from the main playlist. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions (Settings/Feedback)

Filter episodes in playlist based on category
It would be nice if you could filter the custom playlist based on the category. Just filtering by downloaded, played etc isn't enough, it would be nice to be able to filter by the custom categories you set yourself. Then you could keep everything in your playlist and filter it based on the categories you set yourself, sounds amazing!
1 voteThe purpose of the custom playlist is to select which category you want to listen to, so I don't understand your question. You can use the screen drop down menu to select the category you want to. Feel free to send me an email with more details so I can help (Settings/Feedback)

playlists suck
So i have to create a custom category name and then EVERY podcast i have to add them into that category.. I do this so i can play every single podcast without ever needing to change categories (audio, video, custom).
JUST HAVE ONE PLAYLIST CATEGORY. that would solve the problem
we dont care to have a video section.this is a podcast player, just play all the podcasts.
stop hiding them in other categories and stopping when that 1 category is completedOr hell even just keep the player moving through the categories... why does it stop?
1 voteSorry but there's no plan to change how the playlist works. If you don't need extra playlists, then just use the default one which is the app default behavior and unless you open a different playlist to start playing from it, the app will keep using the content of the main default playlist.
Feel free to take a look at the FAQs which explains in details how the playlist works (Settings/FAQs)
The app will then keep playing without any interruption until the end of your playlist is reached

Go to episode Website button on the episode page (and show page on items?)
please add a "Go to website" button on episode pages (and show pages?). This app is so good I've started to use it as a standard RSS reader as well, but many websites only put out the title and a few lines of text in their RSS feed so for those I have to visit the website to read them in full. Right now I have to go the route of Menu -> Website. It's not exactly torture but nevertheless I'm sick of it hence my request.
If there is a way for the app to recognise that there is…
3 votesFrom the episode page you can either use the screen menu or press on the episode artwork to open the episode website (if the podcaster provided one)

Use google drive like storage space
I want suggest to use the "on line space" to save the episode of the podcasts. In my case I have access at a drive shared on Google Workspace. It have unlimited space available. I really like if will be possible save all episode there, I will safe a lot of space on my phone but I can stream the files when I need. Also other storage can be welcome like Dropbox, S3 and similar.
