Please make a WearOS app that allows me to pick which podcast episodes I want to download directly to the watch, so I can listen to the episodes without my phone connected (no internet connection).

Up to now I can select that the next episode to download can be either the newest one or oldest one.

I suggest to introduce a "catch up" mode.

Therefore I would introduce an Abo date. this is the date when I started the Abo.

I would suggest such a function.

next epidode to download (abodate)

if there is at least one episode newer than Abodate
then take the newest episode
else
take the oldest episode
end

With such a function I would chronologically catch up with the older episodes but also hear new episodes close to the release date.

When I visit family with limited Wi-Fi, I don't want to use it all up by auto-downloading podcasts (yes, it is possible!). I only have a few podcasts set up to auto-download, not all, but they update daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I can't see a way to pause their daily updates until I'm back on regular Wi-Fi because my main auto-download setting is on "off" (these podcasts have an override to let them download normally). So some way to make ALL downloads manually triggered and, I don't know, override the override(?), would be useful.

Beautify the personal listening statistics. Line graph, see how many hours you see everyday in a week , month, year and forever. Line graph that goes up and down everyday depend how many hour you listen to each day. Ability to see how many hour you listen to that week.Separate ability to see individual podcast listening time in a day,week,year, forever on a line graph each with a different color.

Add a "Listened" button which will add to the Playback Statistic in case data is lost from the accidently removal or unsubscribing from a Podcast

When displaying the episode time modified by playback speed, it would often be useful to see the timestamps in the episode description adjust similarly. That would make it easier to refer to where you are in am episode, when looking at outline or transcript with timestamps.

Many podcasters struggle to monetize their content and offering boosts over the lightning network directly from the app seems to be the best solution. It also avoids the main podcast gatekeepers from taking a cut. Fountain Podcast app implements this

It would be great if there was some sort of indignation that there's an error that you can quickly see in the menu. Maybe a number in red next to the queue number.

Having a second copy of the download over wifi/data toggle in the "downloads" menu would make it much easier to find (since it's an infrequently used setting, most people won't know where it is, and when looking it makes sense to look in "downloads" for the option.

In the newest update (June 20th 2022), disabled podcasts (podcasts which do not automatically update new episode releases) have their icon shown in black and white on the main page. It's a fine feature and I don't mind it being the new default setting, but there should also be an option to turn this feature off and have all podcasts be shown in full color, regardless of whether their episodes are updated.

I'd like to automatically start a radio station after my podcast episode ends. Please add this!

I always use this app very well.

The video playback speed can be up to 2.2x, Couldn't this be increased to 5x, the same speed as the audio?

I know it is a beta feature and the load is heavy, but the performance of smartphones is improving.

In fact, I was able to play 5x speed with other apps on my phone.

I think it would be relatively easy to implement, so I would appreciate it if you could consider this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi!
Just got an EMUI 12 update for my old P30 Pro and they rolled out a new menu audio controller when swiping down on the right side (left side for notifications). It's a shortcut for audio playback settings within the new interface "control panel".

Spotify is supported so I guess it's up to the app developer.
Anyways: Please add support for this future if possible.

Playlists in landscape mode are essentially useless because dropdowns and menus take up 40+% of the screen space. In landscape mode only about two and a half episodes are visible. In portrait mode 9+ are visible

Particularly cumbersome/noticeable when driving and phone is mounted horizontally.

Have a list of favourite (therefore, played) episodes within my favourite podcast. If I use a custom playlist to display just those from this pcast that I've marked as favourite, it plays the first... and then stops. Press play, it replays the first again.

I want to be able to play them all, one after another, without having to mark them as unplayed.
