App version: 2.7.1 from Google Play
Problem you may be having, or feature you want (from the boyfriend): the multi-select button is a bit confusing (would expect three dots instead of the pencil) and I need an extra step to reach multi-select (first long-press, then multi-select). In Gmail a long-press activates multi-select immediately for the pressed episode, with key actions directly available in the top bar.
Suggested solution (from me): Do it like Gmail: long-press activates multi-select, and key actions appear in the top bar. We’d have to check if this works as the icons alone might not be clear enough. If the top bar doesn’t work, then maybe the FAB could remain – although that would mean that actions for a single episode would require an extra tap.
