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.

    I’ve been plugging it too, but apparently new users have to pay monthly fees to use it? Maybe there are now better alternatives.

      This is not true. The app is free and has no listening limits.

      What you can pay for is a web player (for pc), cross device syncing, cloud storage, extra themes, and some other perks.

      Been using pocket casts for like 7 years now with no complaints.

        I’ve been pretty happy with how Automattic has handled PocketCasts and the premium features feel like what you’d expect, while the main product is perfectly usable for 90% of people and use cases. I hope with their acquisition of Beeper, they continue this mindset and add premium features (extra themes, premium stickers, etc) without compromising the main app.
