Allow offline playback on WearOS watches/devices
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).

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

Allow temporary pausing of all automatic downloads
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.

Rewrite clickable timestamps to reflect playback speed
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.

Provide support for boosts over the lightning network to support content creators
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

Add an option to change when the thumbnail is overriden
On my old phone the podcast artwork would only change to the custom one when it was set as watched or yet to be downloaded.
I really liked this bug as it both easily showed what I haven't yet seen and was generally a nice adition to the feel of the application.
It would be nice for it to be an option for deciding when the thumbnail switches to the custom one, that way it is open to customisation and doesn't effect anyones experience negatively by changing up how the customisations are presented to eveyone.
Tjank you for your time…

Error counter in menu
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.

Add a toggle for download on wifi only to the download menu
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.

Option to turn off disables podcasts in black and white
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.

Would it be possible to increase the video playback speed up to 5 times?
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.

Include time and date data with bookmark exports
I use the existing bookmark feature to keep track of my place and provide a record (time/date stamp) for CPE recording. I only recently started playing with the export bookmark features to see if there was a way I could parse the data to script my CPE reporting - I was surprised to see that even though the default name in the bookmark list is 'Created on:' + date + '-' + time, that information is not included in the data export. Would you please consider incorporating this additional information in your app?
Thank you for your consideration, and all…

Support for Huawei EMUI 12 audio controller
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.3 votes -
Allow sorting by frequency and also by number of unplayed episodes
These are different ideas:
Sorting by frequency would allow me to prioritize episodes which are published daily over those which are published weekly, for example. We can already more or less do this via priority, but not quite. This would allow me to hear low frequency podcasts immediately, which otherwise tend to be burried in long playlists.
Sorting by unplayed episodes already works on the subscription tab, but not on the playlist. This would allow me to prioritize episodes from podcasts which have a lot of unplayed ones, thus allowing me to catch up or binge listen a particular podcast,…3 votes -
Lanscape Playlist Needs UX Update
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.

Episode artwork in player, podcast artwork in episode list
My idea is to have separate "episode artwork" options for the Episode list vs for the Player.
Currently: There is an "episode artwork" option in Settings > Display > Episodes. This can be overridden for an individual podcast in Custom Settings.
Because Display > Episodes otherwise contains options that apply to the episode list / description screens, I expected there to be another equivalent option in Display > Player. But there is not, the Display > Episodes option applies universally.
For me, I like to see the podcast artwork when I'm browsing the list of episodes or the playlist, which…

A working playlist of played favourite episodes within a p'cast.
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.1 vote
