Improve Episode Grouping
-
I have four requests to improve the experience with episode grouping in podcasts (e.g., starred/not starred, by season, etc.).
1. Easier Navigation
Primarily for seasons, having a little navigation bar below the search bar that lists each section (e.g. “season 1,” “season 2,” “no season,” etc.) that scrolls to each section when you click on its respective name would really improve navigation. (This would be sticky, so you can access it at all times.)
2. Collapsing
Being able to collapse the groups like accordions would also make it easier to navigate, again especially for seasons.
3. Clearer Group Labeling
This one applies equally to all kinds of grouping. Even though you can see which section you’re in by looking at the episodes, it would be much clearer if the section headers stuck at the top with the search bar. Highlighting the section name in the group navigator from the first request would also work, but I think making the section headers sticky would fit better with the current UI.
3. Auto-Grouping by Season
As a bonus request, it would be nice if when you follow a podcast with seasons specified in the RSS feed, it would automatically set it to group by season. Grouping by season is a nice feature, but it is easy to miss. (This would be different from the global setting for episode grouping found in settings, as this would be turned on by default and only applied to podcasts with seasons.)
Thank you very much for your hard work with Pocket Casts.

+1 for collapsing seasons! These Revolutions seasons are very long, and it takes ages to get back to my season. Thanks for everything ya’ll do for the app, it’s the best.
