For podcasts the usual sort is by Publication Date
For audiobooks the usual sort is Name Asc

It would be good if when importing audiobooks/folder content if the sort for them was AUTOMATICALLY switched to Name Asc on import.

That would save a lot of time consulting help and messing around: enabling custom sort and then going to each audiobook/folder to set it up separately.

Automatic cleanup allows one to specify a maximum number of episodes of a podcast to be downloaded at any one time. I would like to be able also to specify the minimum number of episodes of a podcast to be downloaded at any one time.

Please consider a section for voice commands in FAQ or elsewhere, with samples for all the Assistant commands that will work, and the important setting for Player/Remote Control/Keep listening to ext controls

There should be a gentle (maybe customizable) fade-out ramp to silence when the sleep timer reaches the end.

Make it possible to only get notifications about certain podcasts

Our back end tech guy changed our domain name away from WordPress, can you add this RSS rather than the old one, sorry for the inconvenience

In a list of 300 episodes in can be hard to find where I am at, and I think I need to be in the list view to add to playlist.

Double tap hide unhide or something to bring you to your current episode?

Maybe add a wishlist tab where you can save any podcast you might want to listen to in the future

I know it's minor, but the album art picture makes my fancy customized screen look uglier, and makes the widget bigger than it has to be. Removing the picture from a version of the widget would be nice. Giving the existing art a configurable transparency would be okay too. Otherwise, I really like your widget!

Add a setting, which would automatically reset the playback progress and/or delete downloaded episodes, if they haven't been listened to in more than 30 days and are not marked as a favorite.

Add an option to choose whether to show or not the episode covers (if I've shown podcast banner it doesn't make much sense to show the same cover all over again if it doesn't change) and to show or not only the episode title, hiding their description so we can see more episodes per page.

Episodes from different podcasts are mastered at different volume settings. It would be good to have an automatic volume level control, so that all episodes in playlist play back at the same volume level.

There is a custom setting that allows you to allow a podcast to not be part of the grouped updates. I'd like some kind of denotation on the podcast icon that shows it isn't updated with the others, so I know to manually update it when I want to (maybe the circular arrows with a line through them). This would be for podcasts that aren't made anymore but you'd want to check every once in a while, instead of with the rest of the active podcasts.

It requires two long presses to mark an episode played and delete it currently.

Google Podcast app has a +30 second and a -10 second button. These are super helpful. Please include in your app which is otherwise much better. Thank you!

Just like each podcast icon has a counter for unheard podcasts, It could be nice to also have the remaining time. The orange triangle with the number in the top right corner could have an additional box in one of the other corners with the remaining playing time (days,hours,minutes)
