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

    Every single thing I use gets changed, ruined, shut down, canceled, moved, merged. It never ends.

    Wound up giving up and using Google podcast BECAUSE other ones I used kept getting shut down.

      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!

        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.
