  Please add a setting to stop play at the end of a podcast (like Stitcher).

  I listen to podcasts to go to sleep and often don’t remember to reset the sleep time when I wake up in the night and it plays all night.

  Thank you for your suggestion!

  I’ve added it to our list of feature requests. Features are considered by our developers for every release based on the number of requests we receive for that feature.

  I’d like an option to stop at the end of every episode even if i have items in my up next queue.

  @timclixby @secureme2 Could you try to use the “Sleep” function and choose “End of Episode”?

  Honestly, with all the flexibility and settings in this app, I don’t understand why this is not supported yet.

  It’s great that the sleep timer option exists. But it’s not the same as a default stop after each episode.

  That’s a fair distinction, and the idea of a persistent “stop after each episode” default (separate from setting the sleep timer each time) has been added to our ideas board. The team reviews it regularly as they plan future work.
