Implement a video tutorial
Forgive me if this is already been mentioned before, but I think a VIDEO TUTORIAL would be an excellent addition. Coming from someone who was/is a complete newbie and didn't know a thing about OPML, RSS feeds, etc. - a video tutorial could have alleviated a lot of trial and error setting up the app and getting it customized to my own specifications. Not to mention filling up all of my memory with useless podcasts and the excessive data usage incurred. Simply because I tinkered with a couple of settings thinking that I knew what I was doing at the time, lol. After a couple of years, I still don't fully understand all of the features and to be honest - I still don't have the confidence to make any changes without worrying about messing everything up, and starting over for the hundredth time.

I know this is an old suggestion, but I found this when I was looking for help in this kind of format.
Some of us listen to entertainment because disabilities make reading difficult. And some people have different learning styles where watching things communicates with them better than reading. I fall into both of those categories. Podcast Addict is very comprehensive in what it will do, but that also makes it more complex. So it would be really cool if there was a YouTube channel that had short videos on different aspects of the app in a playlist going from beginner stuff to more advanced features that people could watch and then also short demos of new features when they are added. It doesn't even have to be an official channel. A well-experienced user could do something like that. I'd volunteer, with permission, but it will take me a couple of weeks to get up to speed on it. But it might give me something to do! :D -
Everything is explained in the getting started guide. It explains what the app can do and how to do it.

This appears to be a dynamic and powerful app. However, is not intuitive. It is very frustrating when old podcasts you don't want to hear keep appearing; it's difficult to organize and keep track of podcasts, all of which I'm sure it does; or maybe it doesn't - again, very frustrating not knowing its capabilities. A brief video of the main features would be very beneficial.

For now there's a Getting started guide available (text format) in the app FAQ.
You can also contact me win case you have questions.
Every network settings are in Settings/Network so if you set everything to wifi only the app will not use any mobile data.
