Option to Disable Playlist
I don't use the Playlist feature, but the app automatically adds anything podcast I play to the playlist. As such, if I end a podcast before it finishes (such as when a podcast ends with an annoying song, or choose to revisit it at my convenience), I will automatically switched back to that when I finish listening to something else. As it stands I have to manually manage the downloaded files and/or playlist to avoid that nuisance... I'd really just rather turn of playlists entirely.
I will add a new setting in the next version to disable the playlist. In that case you will be able to play a single episode then the app will stop at the end
Edit:
Available in the latest v2.31.1 (Settings/Playlist)

As explained in the changelog a couple of weeks ago, the app now uses a new default playlist mode called 'Continuous playback'. You can restore previous behavior by selecting 'Global playlist' in Settings/Playlist/Playlist Mode.
Please send me an email in case you have any question (Settings/Feedback) -

I actually like the playlist feature and now I cannot enqueue downloads to the playlist; when I go to settings to turn on automatic playlist, it is disabled. How can I enable it?

Can you please join the beta tester group to test this new feature (https://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/253911-how-to-join-the-beta-program) ?
Please let me know if it works fine for you.
You will have to go into Settings/Playlist and disable the 'Enable Playlist' new setting
Thanks -

That's really exciting to hear! It will definitely elevate your great app to five-star status in my eyes. Thanks for reconsidering!

They did make it so that you could hold down the next button and delete the playlist and mark read. Kinda solved that issue

That's disappointing, in that it's the only software audio player I've ever encountered that keeps every file you've started in the list until it's finished playing to the very last second (and switches to that file at the second it was left off on), and thus the only player where I have to micromanage a playlist--which is cumbersome for someone who doesn't listen to podcasts back to back to back and thus doesn't need a list.
Thanks for your quick response, though. It's a great app overall and I got the paid version to support you!

The app is based on the playlist for its core features, so it cannot be disabled.
