sometimes I want to enjoy podcasts in order for autoplay and would like to sort by 2 levels such as

'by podcast; date'

for the playlist so that i am not intercollating episodes of totally different podcasts in my downloaded episodes

Being able to mark a podcast as "finished" or "archived" so that it doesn't show up in the main podcast list but isn't necessarily deleted from the overall collection. I want to keep some for recommendation or occasional re-listening but I want to keep my primary list uncluttered.

It would be great to have all listening statistics for every year back kept in Podcast Addict. Right now it shows 2020 and 2021, but 2019 disappeared at new years. Would be great to be to be able to compare.

PlaylistsIs it possible to create lists based on rules that repeat itself after the playlist is over.
For example: Play the oldest not listened podcast of each category, when they end, create a new playlist with same rule.

Often simple keyword search results produce too many results.

It would be nice to specify search queries with operators ('OR', 'AND'), brackets, quotation marks, etc.

Also could be nice to have the option to search in specific fields (e.g. only in titles, description, etc.)

It would be intuitive to swipe up from the bottom of the subscriptions screen to bring up the player and then a swipe down on the player screen to go back to subscriptions.
Currently. tapping on the bottom of the subscriptions screen brings up the player and getting back to the subscriptions page is a back tap.

Add swipe gestures to, for example, mark episode read, delete, move to playlist etc etc

A set of gestures to set in menù setting

Sometimes I have hundreds of episodes in my main playlist, and I want to delete some of them, selecting all episodes that contain a certain word.

While resting and listening to podcasts, on some headphones the minimum android volume is still to loud.

Under settings -> notifications -> player, in addition to previous/rewind/fast forward/next track, add the ability to delete.
Have been hoping this would be added for years.
Is this possible?

Screen real estate is precious, would prefer to have more space to read the actual description. I do not use the buttons.

Make the close X only work when playback is paused, so it can't accidentally be hit from the lock screen while carrying the phone or when attempting to skip ahead.

I would like to set custom settings (such as auto update) in batch mode by selecting podcasts I have sorted on the main podcasts screen. Thank you.

I think it is only possible to manually order podcasts if you have no filters selected. I would really appreciate if there was a way to order the podcasts within a category.

I almost exclusively listen to podcasts in certain categories at a time, so would like different sorting in each category rather than sorting for all my podcasts.

I listen to NPR a lot while doing other things, and quite often I want to go back, because I missed something, like what country they're talking about. The iPod Nano 6th Gen. had an FM radio with a 30-sec back button. I haven't been able to replicate that on my phone or other apps, including the NPR app. Please consider adding this feature. And thanks for a great app and your constant efforts to improve it.

Sometimes a podcast errors when downloading a new episode and I am waiting rest of day thinking it hasn't been posted. When all I really needed to do is retry the download. But the app marks it as downloaded because it was attempted and doesn't retry the download when I refresh.

So a notification saying error happened downloading so I know I have to manually do it; or ideally when you refresh the app it will reattempt to download failed podcasts.

Would be a nice feature to be able to keep a note as to how the story left off if time between episodes is too long and you don't need to re listen to episodes again.
