Add a way to search settings
I love that podcast addict has so many customization options, but because of this it can be difficult to find some settings. Adding a way to search the settings by keyword would be helpful

Configurable Sleep Timer
The Always On Sleep Timer is great. However, it does get annoying during the day to have to keep replaying the podcast when I'm obviously not falling asleep. Could it be configurable so that it is only active during like 9pm to 6am, for example? Those values would be configured by the user.

Select Chapters to play
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…

Sleep timer only going when playing
It would be convenient to have the timer go only when playing. It would limit playtime for people that listen to too many podcasts.

Favorite episodes from the playlist episode long press menu
Often I want to mark an episode favorite after I listen and don't want to have to find it in that podcast's episode list.
Often I'll then delete the episode afterwards, so it would also be great to have a bin icon for the delete menu item too.
3 votesNext version will add the Favorite action in the playlist contextual menu. You will also be able to select multiple episodes from the playlist screen and mark them as favorite or not at once

Add sleep timer to Chromecast mode
It would be really nice if I could use the sleep timer when I'm casting to my Chromecast.
80 votesThis feature will be available in the next version.
A first beta should be available later today on the Play Store. Feel free to test it and send me some feedback via email (Settings/Feedback)However, this feature will only work properly if Podcast Addict keeps running. If you kill the app, the Chromecast will keep casting its content, but the timer will not be running anymore
Thanks

Add option to mark chapters as 'to skip'
Some podcasts include chapters the listener is not interested in hearing. Therefore, an option to mark chapters as 'to skip' in one go would spare the user to skip each chapter individually when it comes up.

'Always On' Sleep setting per podcast
There are some podcasts I listen to only while sleeping. It would be useful to be able to enable a setting that would automatically trigger Sleep mode if you manually start playing an episode from that podcast. (I say manual to avoid perhaps issues with playlists)
27 votesThe next version of the app allows you to enable the sleep timer automatically based on a time frame.
That might be a workaround for what you’re asking for.
For example, the sleep timer will enable itself when listening between 10pm and 5am.
Let me know if that works for you so I can close this feature request (or not)

hashtag instead of brackets...
I love the artwork tweet, have you also considered a # or a @ instead of [ blah blah blah ] when you autotweet which episode my phone just played?
Then instead of just my followers, the podcast would be promoted properly, and the podcaster would know too. Thanks.

Auto add virtual Podcast
Have an option to select a directory where every folder in it would automatically be set up as a virtual podcast.
15 votesNew beta now works differently. When you select a folder containing sub folders, the app asks you if you want to create a single podcast or as many podcasts as there are subfolders.
If you select the later, adding a new subfolder in your device memory later will not automatically create a new virtual podcast in the app -
