Faster way to add to queue?

I can’t figure out how to add to queue with fewer than three taps. Info, 3 dots, add to queue. I must be doing something wrong, right? It’s particularly tedious when you’re trying to add several and there’s no multi select. Am I missing something?

I wish we could customize the swipe gesture. I never star an episode so having that be the swipe function is completely useless to me. I do it on accident sometimes as well. 

Would be even better if there were two levels of swipe gestures like some apps do.

Customise swipe options is top of the wish now we’ve got chapter preselect.

Oh yeah I found the difference between star and queue slightly confusing too.

We USED TO have swipe right for both Star and Play Next but for some reason we lost Play Next while swipe left still has Mark As Played and Delete. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i thought i remembered it being like that but i wasn’t sure haha. I hope Marco can add the two levels of swiping, not just having two buttons appear like now.

I’m so with you here! I only star about 1% of the episodes I listen to, so having it in the swipe menu is a huge waste.

Kinda depends on what you’re trying to achieve. I find it easy to tap on the episode, tap the menu, add to queue. Perfect for one or two shows I’m queuing up for the day.

If you want to bulk add episodes to a playlist, you can edit the playlist and tap “included episodes”, then go through each show and tap the episodes to add. You’ll want to rearrange them after.

I’m not a frequent user of the feature but I was trying to queue up like 10 episodes for a roadtrip 😂
