Update back button function
Make it so that the back button on any main tab (especially the player tab) takes you to the "podcasts" tab rather than closing the app. I can't count the number of times I've accidentally closed the app when trying to get back to the main podcast screen
I’m sorry but I will not override the way the back button works on Android. Pressing on it restore the previous screen until you reached the screen that opened the app. If you opened the app from the player notification, then the opening screen is the player screen, so pressing the back button on this screen will close the UI

I came to lodge the same complaint as others... I wish there was an option for back always leading eventually to Podcasts before closing, like its the app's "home screen". I didn't realize that always opening to Player as result of tapping the widget thumbnail is what was setting the "opening screen" in my case. I see now that opening the app using the regular app button goes to Podcasts first, and then behaves as some of us are wishing. Having the option would be nice though! :)

This is the one feature that keeps me searching for another app. My music player (goneMad music player) allows me to choose the behavior of the back button in its settings
Ideally for me, the back button would take me to the previous screen as it does now, but when hitting it on the screen that opened the app it would first take me to the podcasts page (like a home page) and then hitting it one more time would close the ui.
I run into this all the time in podcast addict.. Outside of pausing and fast forwarding, the next most common thing for me to do is choose the next podcast to play.
I really wish there was at least an option to change this behavior. goneMad music player also has a setting to change the default starting page, which I would personally also set to the podcasts page (instead of now playing)
