The automatic Twitter share feature is cool. I would like to be able to share all the episodes I listen or favourite into Zapier, so that I can then add them to a Google Spreadsheet and also to a custom RSS feed that I share with my friends.

For now my plan is to create a dedicated Twitter account and then use that with Podcast Addict. I will then configure Zapier to act based on new Tweets from that account. Works for me, but I guess others might appreciate something easier.

Thank you for all your work, this is such an excellent app.

Before playing an episode (or multiple episodes within a playlist), I'd like to be able to select which chapters within an episode to play (and which to skip). When wanting to skip selected chapters, I have to jump to the next chapter mark during playback in the moment, when a new chapter (I'd like to skip) begins. But in that moment I might have no hand free to do so. So I'd like a feature, that allows me to select the chapters to play (or the ones to skip) in beforehand. This could be implemented with checkboxes in the chapter list. And then during playback the chapter-skipping happens automatically.

On these screens, the drop down menu at the top of the screen allows to filter the list to a certain podcast.

The podcasts are listed as "Podcast title (X)", where X is the number of episodes of that podcast in the list. To be clear, the "(X)" is not part of the podcast title, it is added by the app depending on what is being displayed.

However, when the podcast title is too long to fit on the screen, it gets cut off like "Extremely long podcast ti...". This hides the information of how many of those episodes are in the list.

It would be better if the podcast title were cut off but the number remained on screen, like "Extremely long podcas... (X)"

Here is a screenshot of an example of this happening: https://i.imgur.com/4OK9fjC.png (the drop-down menu is open)

Hey guys,

Below I have listed 10 possible improvements to the Podcast Addict App. It was honestly hard to find 10 areas of improvement since the app is already very complete. Some of these suggestions may actually have already been implemented - disregard in this case.

Feel free to use the following 10 ideas to make your great app even better:

1. Allow random play of episodes within one or all of a user’s podcasts




2. Have the settings option directly on the main menu




3. Allow sharing of the episodes through social media like whatsapp, etc.




4. Introduce the option to start an episode as a sort of alarm clock




5. Connect the app with Twich, Youtube, etc. to allow more streaming content




6. Allow users to upload their content into the app so they can at least have a local library of their content




7. Have a list of suggested podcasts when a user first uses the app, based on a short list of questions asked when the user first signs up




8. Access my device’s music library and play it from the app




9. Rank podcasts by most viewed on the app or most downloaded, and all the other metrics, etc.




10. Allow user to set a data usage limit when play is done through mobile data. Play will stop once that limit is hit

Wish all of you at Podcast Addict continued success and a great weekend!

I have 400 podcasts and I update them once everyday at 6 in the morning.
The times I have to listen during the day are usually sometime in the afternoon when I'm disconnected from the internet till I'm back home so I might be looking forward to a new update of a podcasts just to see some sort of error on that subscription (probably due to network connectivity).

Could a log for failed updates be included when doing general/overall synchronization?
That way I can update what's left before I leave the house if I could see a log of what failed. It can be hidden away in settings if necessary. Just would appreciate a feature like this.

I would like to be able to create multiple regular playlists, where I select which episodes are added to each playlist and not add all episodes of a podcast like in the "custom" category. Also, it should be possible to remove the "video" playlist as I don't have a need for this, and I assume most people who listen to podcasts (while driving etc) also don't.

However, most importantly, I would like to be able to create multiple playlists (like one for listen to now, listen to when I have time, etc) where I am individually adding episodes, not complete podcasts, to the list.

Currently I always have a single episode downloaded from each of my subscriptions. I order my playlist of downloaded podcasts by a mixture of priority and time since downloaded. This allows me to cycle through my whole list of subscriptions on a regular basis.

Some of my subscriptions are current events based so when I get to those episodes I would rather listen to the most recent episode rather than the one that automatically downloaded 2 weeks ago.

A filter of "time since last episode of subscription played" would solve this issue. I believe the information is already available since my whole play history is available.

This would also put newly subscribed podcasts at the top of my playlist rather than the bottom.

Thank you for all your hard work, this is a great app.
