Does this mean YouTube Podcasts is ready for prime time?

Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service.

    Pocket Casts has been reliable for me for years. I don’t even use their pro features, but I pay anyway because it’s so cheap. Highly recommended.

      I will never shut up about pocket casts. Their multi-device sync is wonderful. I can pick up where I left off on any episode from any of their apps. They’ve even got a pretty decent UWP app that I use on my Windows installs. They also have rock solid Chromecast support.

      I loved it so much I bought the lifetime pass a long time ago. At any rate, I can’t recommend pocket casts enough!

        I need to check out the lifetime pass price, thanks for reminding me!

          Unfortunately, I believe they stopped offering it some time ago. :(

      Another great app for podcasts I can recommend is Podcast Addict. Free and it’s full of great features.

        To clarify, Pocket Casts is also free. 👍 I just recommend supporting them because the pro price is so cheap.

      Cheap? Unless someone snagged Pocketcasts when it was still a one off payment app, it is NOT cheap. Heck, I can pay for YouTube Premium, Spotify Premium and still have money left for one more streaming service to plug into before I hit what Pocketcasts wants me to pay. The app is good but it is the very antithesis of cheap.

        Wow, that’s odd.

        I’m paying 119 SEK/year for the Plus tier, which is the result of a price raise some time ago as well. But I see now that it’s 533 SEK/year all of a sudden for new customers.

        Still, that’s not too expensive, honestly. If you need the features, it’s pretty good.

        I don’t, so I won’t pay that amount of my account is put on that price point…

        My pleasure!
