Cross device synchronization
Would be great to be able to synchronize subscriptions, playlist, read status, ... between devices

shared this idea
Just a heads up regarding the latest version of the app. It doesn’t provide cross device syncing yet, but it allows you to sign in to your Google Drive account and have all your data automatically backed up to make sure they are safe at all time. It also makes restoring the data on a new device really easy.
You can go into Settings/Backup to enable this and sign-in
Thanks

I hear that Google allows App Data sync with their servers. I would look into this as a possibility for data sync.

Maybe use the user's Google Drive to save the ompl/playlist/read and unread/etc.? Just have the program check the Drive for an updated/newer version of the file. Don't save audio to it though, just the config and metadata. That way, there's no more server work for you, as Google Drive takes the brunt of the bandwidth. Plus, the user will have complete control over their data, and they have it backed up somewhere safe.
This way, no matter what device you're using, if it's online (should be for a podcast app), it'll be able to keep the sync file up to date. If it's not online, then it'll just default to the local copy.
That way, if I have Podcast Addict on my phone, my tablet, and installed in Chrome (it works), then I, as a user, don't have anything to worry about, and there's no central device to worry about.

https://gpodder.net/ will allow you to keep track of your podcasts shows and playbacks, there are several android, iphone, mac, windows and linux applications that do support this service.
There is already a suggestion for this feature

I still have a couple releases to deliver will small improvements / new features and bugfix, then I will spend a couple of weeks developing this. Then it will take at least another couple of weeks for intensive beta testing...
I hope to deliver this feature before the end of the year -

This feature would be great. I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 and it would be great to switch from device to device and pickup where I left off on my last podcast with read and playlist synced between each.

This would be great, especially if you get a new phone at times.

Would love to have podcast subscriptions, read/unread status and playlist work across multiple devices (e.g. phone & tablet) and even better, to be able to also have desktop access as well. Would love this feature!!

Even if Podcast Addict implements its own format to fully support all Podcast Addict features it would be great to see gPodder support for cross-platform synchronization; organizing large lists of Podcasts is more comfortable on a PC.
