Hopefully I'm just missing it and I can then give the app five stars but until there is a multi-select episodes feature added the app can't be worth more than a three. I've seen hundreds of posts while searching. So many people. I would love to see this feature. If I had listened to a podcast on somewhere else's device, or switched from an iPhone to an Android, or any of the many other reasons, there's no way to mark the first 200 or more episodes as read. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Much better now that they have playlists. Can easily download and queue the ones I want to listen to, there's good choice and the controls are intuitive. It would be great if they could allow multiple playlists. I listen to a lot of news podcasts and it would be great if I could save them to one playlist and longer listening podcasts to a different playlist

took some getting used to but I like it now 👍 I listen to podcasts a majority of the time in the car. And Google podcast has lots to listen while driving. Works great with android auto. One thing I've noticed later is while listening to a podcast and the phone is on the sleep mode I can no longer pause, fast forward or back up what I'm listening to. It's kinda a nuisance. I've looked at my settings but can't figure it out. I would also add they should have a way to rate podcast you listen to.
