Awesome, thank you so much! 😍🤩🚀

* Used the „Trash all played episodes” rightaway and deleted 1400 files, freeing up probably 70% of my SD card. That was a feature I was apparently yearning for for a loong time 😃
* Bottom Navigation: Nice, but don't wanna miss the drawer, so doesn't work as replacement for me, switched back

Thanks for the feedback! Why wouldn't you want to miss the drawer? Is there anything that you're missing, or did you notice a clear downside? The idea is to – in the long term – drop the side menu. We believe the bottom menu offers a more modern experience and keeping both would mean increased maintenance work.

@AntennaPod

Hm. Bottom Menu doesn't feel so „modern“ to me, more „retro“ (which isn't bad at all!)

In the drawer I have ALL the views listed, PLUS all subscribed podcasts in Folders/Tags in dynamic order and with counts. That's very powerful for me!

In the bottom button menu bar, I can only place 5 "Most Favorite" quick switch views, one of these 5 is currently taken by the overflow „More“ entry which feels clumsy.

So to me, the two navigations serve very different use cases and augment each other, rather than replace.
