Description

### Description

I know this feature is implemented and closed now (#4500 , #4501 , #4502 )but I was wondering if there was an easy tweak that could make the swipe more reliable. You can see my finger presses in the attached screen recording and it doesn't add an episode to my play next list in one swipe like it used to.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

One handed quick swipe on s24 ultra

### Did you search for existing bug reports?

### Device, Operating system, and Pocket Casts app version

Samsung s24 ultra. ever since release 7.99

Research direction

Start by reviewing issues #4500, #4501, and #4502 to understand the implemented swipe feature, then reproduce the one-handed swipe on a Samsung S24 Ultra using the attached recording. Done means a single swipe reliably adds the episode to the Play Next list on the affected app version.
