I’ve been using your app on Android for a long time and I came up with something that might be interesting…In the app there are a few options on the “profile” menu; stats, downloads, files, starred and listening history…Ok, so.. what if I find a podcast that might be interesting, but I don’t have time to listen to it right then and there? How do I save that podcast for later? What I’m doing right now, it will be to hit the ⭐ so it goes to the “starred” menu, but…. What order does that menu follow? It’s harder than it should be to find a podcast… I can’t get my head around what criteria it follows…So, my solution would be one of the following:- The first one, and the most obvious I think, is that every new podcast starred appears at the top of the list. Always at the top, followed by the second last starred, then the third, so on and so forth…- My second idea will be to add a search bar to search I’m that menu, in the starred menu… It’s probably that the user remembers something of the name or the host or something, so it can type on that search bar and find it. This will not need to change the current menu ordering system, wich again, I don’t understand.- And the third option to fix this problem, will be to add a whole new menu… “LISTEN LATER”, so you can save there those podcasts that seem interesting enough and you don’t want to lose.The cherry on top will be to have this three options all together:- A “LISTEN LATER” menu, with a search bar on top to search for the podcasts on this new menu, and the podcasts on that menu are in order, from the latest added to the oldest, or vice versa.Maybe there’s a way of doing this right now, saving a podcasts for later, but I couldn’t find it…I have no idea about coding or programing I’m not sure how hard making this will be but please, consider my idea, because it’s an issue that I encounter ALMOST EVERY DAY and I think that I’m not alone on this one… It’s what PocketCasts is lacking to be the perfect podcast listening app, in my opinion.

Thanks for reaching out!
I’ve gone ahead and forwarded these ideas along to our developers as feature requests. I can’t offer an estimated timeframe or confirmation that they will be implemented, but our developers regularly review feature requests when considering future development. :)
