Just a heads up regarding the latest version of the app. It doesn’t provide cross device syncing yet, but it allows you to sign in to your Google Drive account and have all your data automatically backed up to make sure they are safe at all time. It also makes restoring the data on a new device really easy.
You can go into Settings/Backup to enable this and sign-in

Keeping an iTunes sync at bay will help speed up and reduce cost to development of a holistic sync approach. Better to allow an iTunes export - data dump into Podcast Addict for iOS/Android/Chrome Web App versions of the application. Request a bridging of data between iTunes and Podcast Addict is problematic at best and takes away from Xavier's time develope and enhancing other features better served.
What we should focus on and request is a Google Apps and Google API-centric sync development, where a Google account has the ability to install Podcast Addict on iOS, Android, or Chrome OS/browser app and instantly sync playlists and marked as read + config settings using Google user data sync and OAuth 2.0 security. It's a proven method for Google platformed applications and user data.
This approach would work for Mac users, Windows machines, Linux, Android et al. Because Podcast Addict allows for iTunes searches, there's no justifiable reason to pursue an iTunes data bridge into Podcast Addict. Let's not support iTunes, lets support Xavier and development of features that best serve this application and not Apple Inc.
