List of last played episodes
I like to have a list of last episodes played. Reason is that I often listen to a longer podcast, eg in bed, that I do not finish. During the day í listen to several other podcasts and like to return to the one I did not finish in the evening. Rather than searching through all my subscription, I would prefer a quick glance at the last run audios. I think a simple, self over writing (roll-over) list of say last 10 pieces would suffice (maybe this could even be configured by the user). Thanks!
1 votePlease ego into settings/sliding menu and enable Playback history. Then you’ll be able to access the playback history from the app navigation side bar

Allow access to episode's information window from the playlist screen
Within the playlist screen, it seems to be impossible to view an episode's description and other relevant information.
Generally, when I build my playlist, I'm viewing episode descriptions to decide which episodes I should download and which ones I should skip. By the time I get to these episodes in my playlist, I can often forget what a particular episode is about.
Currently, I have to navigate away from the playlist screen to the podcasts screen, clock the relevant podcast and also remember and select the appropriate episode. This seems like something that should be easily added to the contextual…

Move app to SDcard
I'd like to suggest that the Podcast addict App could also be moved to the SDcard. I have always troubles with my internal storage, which is too full. But I have lots of space on my SD card, which is formated as internal storage. Podcast addict has gotten very big (more than five gb) over time, so it would be great if the app would support this feature.
4 votesSorry but the app cannot be moved on the SD card. This would break most of its feature because of Android restrictions. The app itself doesn’t use much space. Downloaded files can be moved on the SD card to free some space (Settings/Download/Storage space)

Document Default Sorting
I came to UserVoice here specifically for this topic : I couldn't find a Global Sort option in Settings. Now that I understand how it works, though many requests and comments here, I'm happy to use it as-designed. Given the high profile of Sorting in Q&A for this app, I highly suggest that the Getting Started Guide or FAQ include a paragraph to specifically describe how this mechanism works:
There is no "Global Default Sort Order" setting. To set the default sort for all episodes of all podcasts, Uncheck the App Setting > Display Configuration > Podcasts > Custom Sorting.…
1 voteSortingis a global setting by default. Every time you change the sorting mode it applies to every screen. If you want screens to have their own sorting then you can enable this in the app settings.

Option to disable 'delete episode' shortkey
When press and hold the forward and/or back keys of the player, it asks for confirmation to delete the currently playing episode. My phone (nokia 7.1) is very sensitive around the edges, and it happens a lot that when I'm walking with my phone in my hand, it starts vibrating and asking me to delete the episode.
1 voteYou can disable this in Settings/Player/Controls

When filtering a podcast's episodes, make it so I can see unplayed episodes only.
Already played is an option, but not played isn't, and it would be nice to be able to see the ones I haven't gotten to yet when looking at a podcast with tons of episodes where I've listened to a lot of them
1 voteYou can press on the toolbar ‘eye’ button to hide played content

Allow subscribing on podcast page
Awesome app. Have been using for years and paid for donation.

I cannot find how to subscribe when I click a result to see the podcast's details.1 votePlease send me an email with a screenshot of the screen you’re referring to so I can understand the problem (Settings/Feedback)

played podcasts and new episodes
hi, i really like this app but i find two annoying issues.
1) the app count an episode as played episode only after i listen to the entire episode. most of the times, we move on and stop a little bit before the end. on those cases it still count it as an unplayed episode. i think the app should count an episode as played after 60% of the episode's length.
2) new episodes. i receive notification every time there's something new and that's great. the podcasts will show me there's a new episode until i fully play it, and…1 voteOnly the played flag tells if an episode is played or not.
You can set this flag manually or let the app do so after the episode has been fully listened to.
If you long press on the player next episode button the app will skip to the next episode while marking the current one as playedRegarding the 2nd suggestions please vote for the existing feature request to avoid creating a duplicated entry
Thanks

When pressing on epiosdes and there are hundreds of episodes should be an option to sort by oldest first, you can only do it in the ones
When pressing episodes on a podcast that list hundreds, should be a feature to sort by old to new, so you don't have to scroll for so long. You can only sort on podcast you have downloaded it looks like

Add a "Jump Backward" feature to the lock screen
Maybe I just haven't found it in the settings, but it would be nice to have a rewind feature on the lock screen so that I don't have to unlock my phone to do it.

Show chapter images
Some podcasts show a different image for some chapters. e. g. Lage der Nation. https://feeds.lagedernation.org/feeds/ldn-mp3.xml Pocket Casts already supports this. It would be great if you could add support for this, too.

Samsung killing app playback again
Samsung seems to have changed its system. I've checked the power saving menus, but the same options aren't there. Every day after around 8 hours of playback, the app gets reset.
I've checked that it's not Google play store trying to run updates, but that is definitely disabled.1 votePlease send me an email in case of an issue so I can gather more details and the help you (Settings/Feedback/Email)

Don't download read episodes.
My download queue lists a lot of read episodes. I marked those before downloading because i streamed them or just am not interested in.
0 votesIf you select Download all, then the app will download every episode in the list.
You can first hide played episodes before triggering the download to avoid this -
Launch App directly into Player page
I would like to be able to start PA directly in player mode. That page is where I spend the majority of my time when using the app,so having the ability to launch directly into the player would be vary convenient.
1 voteYou can do this by replacing the app launch icon with a widget called ‘Opening screen’ which allows you to select the opening screen of your choice

show bookmark pictures.
Some podcasts using pictures for their bookmarks eg. Lage der Nation. https://feeds.lagedernation.org/feeds/ldn-mp3.xml Pocket Casts already shows them. It would be great if you could add support for this, too.

I would like to be able to add or subtract from catargories
Rather than having to select each podcast open it and then open the categories, then type each category. I would like to be able to open all of the categories individually, that can open a list with all of the podcast that will enable just a click on podcast to add it.
3 votesYou can go into settings/lists to do this. From there you’ll be able to set up all the categories

The lock screen is managed by the device, not by the app.
The device shows apps notifications which include the player notification.
You should also see your text message if the text message app is allowed to publish on the lock screen -
Have different sorting based on the tab you're in
I'd like to sort by publication date on an individual podcasts but by download date in the downloads tab
1 voteYou can enable Custom sorting in Settings/Display/Podcasts to do so
