  1. Add an episode long-press option for "download next episode and queue after this"

    A pattern I very frequently encounter is being on the playlist and wanting to download the next episode of a show and insert it on the playlist immediately after the current episode. This requires me to remember what episode I'm on, go back to the podcast show list, open the show, scroll down to the new episode, download it, add it to the playlist, and then drag it up to where I want it. Instead, I'd like to just have a single "download next episode and queue after this" option that I can execute from the playlist.

  2. Bring up the podcast description when clicking on an icon in the Statistics screen

    The statistics screen would be a great tool for pruning podcasts if only you brought up the podcast description when clicking on its icon in the list. That would allow me to unsubscribe to my least listened to podcasts easily. Even better would be a long press selection (as in the playlist) and bulk action to unsubscribe.

  3. use PodcastAddict as a music player

    I use PA to play my MP3 musics by creating a virtual podcast to a folder on my SD card that contains all my favorite musics.
    It just lacks the possibility of resetting the playback of the songs if you leave the song and the possibility of downloading the image of the original CD cover.
    It would be great to give up any other player to play my music

    This is a great idea. Next version of the app will show a small setting screen when creating a virtual podcast. It will allow you to select the podcast behavior like no automatic deletion, if the playback progress should be stored or not... 

  4. 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.

  5. Add cast support to Internet Radio

    At present we can cast podcasts through Google Cast, and we can play internet radio streams. It would be great if we could do both, and cast radio streams to our smart speakers!

    Next version will allow you to search episodes in the playlist.

    You will need to use the playlist Option menu tab and select "Find Episode", then you can enter some keywords and press on '<' or '>' to scroll up / down the playlist to the previous / next occurrence.


    A first beta should be soon available.

    Please join the Beta on the Play Store app page and feel free to provide some feedback about this feature (Settings/Feedback)


    This version will be available starting on build 20856 (Settings/About to check)

  7. sort publisher newest episode

    When you click on the "other podcast by x" option and get a full display of all a channels podcasts it would be nice to be able to sort from most recently updated instead of only an alphabetical list. A lot of publishers have hundreds of podcasts, so trying to find new podcasts this way is very difficult.

  10. Bookmarks + Progress Bar

    Bookmarks and progress bar are actually totally "disconnected". Add visual flags, arrows, bullets will simplify the "legibility" of bookmarks episode.
    Option : different color/types flags (emojis perhaps) is possible

  11. Add options for downloads file naming

    Similar ro implement a clear file naming system request I have some podcasts that have no id3 tags and although your app gives the best naming (episode number.mp3) in most cases since I can set a custom name for the podcast where the download folder for the podcast takes that naming for me it would be useful to have the mp3 files when downloaded to have the id as the title of the podcast.
    I'm sure this could be added as an option on what pattern to use as the file naming for ex:
    Original filenames
    Episode title
    Pattern: podcast…

    Next version will allow you to customize default file names using predefined patterns. A 1st beta will soon be availble. Make sure to join the Beta on the Play Store app page to test this and provide some feedback.

    This will of course apply to new downloaded episodes only.

    You will have to go to Settings/Download and press on 'Use Custom filenames' to change the default behavior

  12. AB repeat feature

    If the user selects the Repeat A-B option, that would define the current playback position as the 'in' point, and the option wording would change to Repeat A-B (set endpoint). When the endpoint has similarly been selected, the track would repeat continuously between A and B until the user selects a different option.

    Next version of the app will add a loop button displayed in the chapters / bookmarks list screen. That way you can toggle the loopmode for the current chapter / bookmark. In order to use this with bookmarks you need to create a bookmark A at the beginning position, and a bookmark B at the end position, then if you enable the loop mode for bookmark A it will keep playing between A and B over and over.  You can also press on the chapter / bbookmark name in the player screen to toggle the loop mode ON/OFF

  13. Silence Skipping – Adjustable Silence Duration

    tl;dr:
    I think it would be wonderful to have an adjustable min…max time consideration setting for silence skipping.

    Detail:
    Although very useful, most podcasts sound odd and rushed with the current silence skipping setting. I think having an adjustable meter that allows a user to define the minimum amount of acceptable silence before skipping occurs would be wonderful.

    It would allow for podcasts with this setting to sound more natural while also removing those unnecessary silences that often occur between commercials, chapters, etc.

    It may also satisfy these posts:

  14. Integrate with Waze

    Waze has this new feature - an audio kit that allows 3rd party apps to play audio in the Waze app (see https://www.waze.com/audioplayer). Several large players (Spotify, Deezer) have already done this integration.

    As most of my listening is done on the road it would be a great improvement. I also saw that other users had issues with the current situation.

  15. Create a "Keep at most" override notification

    Please add an override or change limit message when attempting to manually download a number of episodes that when combined with what has already been downloaded will exceed the "keep at most" limit if it's not already set to unlimited. I think this is why I keept experiencing stage behavior when trying to download a lot of episodes and forgot to charge that limit. It seems like it's downloading all of them then marking all but the most recent (insert limit) episodes as played add deleting the downloads.

    Thanks for providing the best podcast player and scraper for Android!

  16. Make the threshold for skipping silence modular

    I'm currently listening to a podcast with some audio issues. In addition to long silences, there are also moments where the volume of the speaking voices is low. These moments are skipped, making the podcast difficult to understand while skipping silence. I propose a slider that allows you to modify the volume threshold that the skip silence feature opts to cut, so that moments where those speaking are quiet won't be cut out alongside.

  18. Assume podcast is finished if played xx% (95? 97?) or y minutes-or-less left

    Most podcasts end with "housekeeping" and probably advertisements. When the core content is done, I don't wait for 100% finish.

    But if I jump out, the old podcast lingers, keeps using space, and might even be continued after I finish another podcast.

    And deleting by holding "jump to next podcast" button doesn't work for me - since I want to actually select the next thing to listen to, not some arbitrary 'next unlistened' one..

    For now you can either Long press on the player Next episode button to skip to the next episode while handling the current one as if it was fully listened to OR you can use the skip outro setting.

    This setting allows you to set the number of seconds that will automatically be skipped at the end of the episode.

    However sometimes the end credits can be shorter than usual or even missing and using skip outro would still skip the last XX seconds of the app.
    To avoid this I plan to add an extra setting that if enabled would only trigger the skip outro if the Skip forward button is pressed at least once with the last XX seconds of the file (where XX seconds is the selected value for skip outro)

    For example with this enabled and skip outro set to 5 minutes, the app will only…

  19. Add settings for Chromecast

    Right now playback for Chromecast forces app to go full screen and only allows increments of 30 seconds for rewind/fast forward. It would be nice to have the same settings for the normal player ported over. I understand Google may be responsible for some playback settings, but can we at least toss the full screen.
