Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.
I know, I know, using Google apps isn’t the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.
Apparently they’re moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren’t implemented yet.
I’ve moved over to an app from F-Droid.
Podcast Addict is THE feature rich podcast client. A boatload of features and if it doesn’t do what you need you request it in the support site.
It has its issues: closed source (if that matters to you), I’ve read that there are trackers, and ads, but it’s still the best podcast app out there, hands down.
I wish it was open source and not filled with trackers
As long as that’s the case, I’ll definitely continue using AntennaPod
I switch from Google to PA with the first email like this that I got from Google.
I tried maybe 4 alternatives and ended up sticking with PA. I don’t really like it…it’s most used icons are small and hard to reach, navigation is very unintuitive to me…but basically it sucked less than the other options.
