Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

As a user I want my app to auto download podcast episodes.

Basic features in app

  • check for new episodes on regular interval (app setting)
  • auto download option for cell, WiFi or both
  • podcasts auto download to app folder set.

Why would this be helpful?

Currently episodes only download to the server. The app requires a manual update.

Most podcast apps support this feature.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I don't think this needs a doodle. Attaching some screenshots of Antennapod for ideas

This is in the wrong repo and there are several issues open for this already in the app repo
