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.

      Pocket Cast is still decent. But they increased the sub prices a lot recently. I was still on an old plan, so I don’t know what I’ll do when it expires. What bugs me more is podcast releasing exclusively on certain platforms. Congratulations, you just reinvented radio

        I memba when a podcast was an mp3 scraped from an rss feed. Enshitification catches all in the end. 😞

        I’m grandfathered in to when their premium was a one-time payment, but I’m trying out AntennaPod again as I’d like to stick with open source solutions. I haven’t used AntennaPod since 2.4.x and I moved back to Pocket Cast because AntennaPod was giving me a weird issue where the app would occasionally lose audio focus when I paused. I’m hoping I don’t run into that issue again, because, other than that, it was every bit as good as Pocket Casts, probably better.

        I love being able to arrange by tags, rather than folders.
