There are a lot of things I like about this app, but overall it seems overly complicated and unintuitive, with menus and buttons all over the place and podcasts in way more places than necessary

The new slide-menu is very nice, makes it much more intuitive to navigate in the app :)
Thanks for your work!

The player is available from any screen using the small player banner at the bottom of the screen. You also have the player notification.
To delete an episode you have the contextual menu (on every screen) or the delete button in the episode description screen. You can also enable automatic deletion to avoid having to delete episodes manually. You can also long press on previous/next track butoons in the player screen to delete current episode and skip to the previous/next one. -

I think there ise one thing that could be changed to make navigation easier :
one should be able to access the player from any screen.More generally a little menu line (just 3 buttons): "[Player] [Playlist] [Podcasts]" always available would be easier than the current cycle between screns.
I got used to the cycle but it took some time, and I still get annoyed when I have not directly the screen I want.
One other thing I had difficulties with is to find how to delete an episode, there a two different ways, one being hidden (long click on playlist) and the other being only avalible on a specific screen.

Please open a ticket using the Contact Support button.
What do you mean exactly. When I press the + button to add a new podcast, the back button go to the previous screen which is the default main screen. Please give me the step by step process.

Android back button is not working as expected, e.g. when adding new podcasts if I click on a specific podcast and then on "android back" I go back to main menu instead of seeing the previous (potentially filtered) list.

Like in any other Android app, just press the app icon in the toolbar it will go back to the home menu ;)

Hi! Thanks for your reply.
I would like to be able to easily return to the main menu at anytime Without going through several other previous screens to get to it.
Perhaps this could be added on to the phone's menu button, So that it does not clutter the screen, yet is always readily available in any view.
I did find the "Filters" menu, but that is only available in a few of the views.
Thanks!

Which menu do you me to simplify ?
Regarding the navigation:
On the main screen you have the list of podcats. You press on a podcast and you have the list of episodes. You press on an episode and you have its description. From there you can swipe between episodes, start downloading, playing, ...
On the main screen you also have some filters to display specific list of episodes (downloaded episodes, playlist, ...)
