Gotta love it when big companies buy off a popular smaller one only to gut it. I didnt use stitcher but it feels like a waste.
Parent company SiriusXM. I wish there was an offboarding process for unwanted properties besides shutting them down. Not that I used this app, but I’m sure a lot of people did.

I was a power user back in the day, but once I started using PocketCasts, that’s all she wrote. RIP tho
Good riddance. Stitcher was a blight on podcasts, I can only hope that iHeartMedia is next.
I used stitcher in the past, but uninstalled it soon after. I eventually moved to using Antennapod. Still using it now!
I want to throw AntennaPod out there for anyone looking for a solid android podcast app. Its FOSS as well for those that care about that sorta thing.
What will happen to 99% Invisible?
Oh, that’s too bad. I’ve been using Stitcher for years and was pretty happy with it.
What other podcast apps for Android are people using that they would recommend?
I’ve tried using Spotify previously for podcasts, but I find it frustrating since the app is primarily designed for music. It works well for music, but the podcasts experience is awkwardly grafted on and does not work well for me.
PocketCast has everything I need and more
I’ve always been fond of Podcast Addict - though I wish there were other features like keeping track of how many episodes of Stuff You Should know I’ve listened to for when I switch phones / devices.
