Allow users to donate to podcasts from the mobile app. This can probably only happen on Android as Apple is strict about in-app payments. Maybe use Google Wallet, Paypal, or Flattr. If you build the functionality, podcast producers could provide you the payment information.

As a big fan of the app, I would really like to see a podcast discovery service. I don't just mean in the way of recommendations (though that may help some), but the classification of Podcasts into different categories and listing popular, 'Top rated' podcasts in different categories/types - Comedy, News, Science, Arts, Music, Sports, Entertainment etc.

Currently, the newly added podcasts are put at the end of the list without the possibility to move them up or down.

Félicitation pour votre application.
Je souhaiterai pouvoir spécifier dans l'écran de configuration d'un podcast l'icone affiché pour le podcast comme cela existe déjà pour le titre.

Facility to pause a single download or immediately pause all downloads (to free up bandwidth or avoid losing progress of a partial download when the phone is going to lose data connectivity.

Imagine that you have your playlist sorted by date, and you want to always play the most recent playlist. In this case, then when the current podcast has finished, it should not play the next in the playlist, but instead play the one at the top of the playlist.

There should be an option to specify this.

Some times I want to listen to the last item on the playlist without re-sorting it. Currently the playback will stop once the last item is finished, even if there are elements left on the playlist.

When finishing the last item, it would be useful if playback could resume from the first element, thus wrapping around.

If I have something my playlist and want to download it I have to dig through my podcasts to find it. This option would save a lot of hassle.

I'd like to group my podcasts and refresh them based on that particular group alone. e.g. I listed to comedy, news, and coffee podcasts. when I hit refresh it takes several minutes since it refreshes all of them. if I only want to update my comedy podcasts I still end up waiting quite a while.

This would allow an easier update of podcasts, without leaving the widget screen

Provide an option play podcasts in a “repeat” mode where the podcast just loops so that when it ends the same podcast starts over again.

some podcasts shows download date instead release date, for example game over or meripodcast

It would be nice if the feeds were separated but many podcasters (even professional ones) seems to mix everything up in one feed.

Maybe you can save the sync or profile in the Google Drive is easily accessible across all devices a user owns.

The ability to set a custom image as the rss feed to be used for the feed itself and also individual items where image is missing.

Add the possibility to play random episodes from the playlist

It renders the counter with it's white numbers on it barely readable.
Instead you could even save a whole line by combining the counter
for all available episodes of a podcast with that "unread counter".
e.g. if there are 20 episodes available and 10 of them are unread it
could display as 10(20) at the positon where it shows the counter
with that blue background right now. You would save the line above
where it now says "20 episodes". Thank you, I like PA!

note - this is different than existing favorite episodes feature

I want to list to my podcasts in this order:
1-MobileTechRoundup (~60 minutes, updates roughly weekly)
2-NPR News (~5 minutes, updates hourly)
3-WSJ Tech Briefing (~5min, updates twice a day)
4-bunch of other short podcasts
5-bunch of other long podcasts

Using the available sort options doesn't allow me to listen in this order (I have been using stitcher which does let you do this). I think having a favorites flag will allow me to use the sort by duration with the exception of playing my selected favorites first.

Sometimes, we can´t be staring at the screen for video podcasts- when we´re driving for instance. So having your smartphone locked saves battery and avoids unwanted actions (stop, delete, etc)

There is no way to tell how long the podcast is until it is download and there is no way to tell the size or status of a download.
