Any suggestions on good multi-platform alternatives? I’m using Apple Podcasts and it’s garbage.
Man I’m glad I got grandfathered in to their lifetime license, that’s really expensive
If you are already a subscriber it stays at 14.99. Its a glitch. You’re grandfathered to existing cost
But. If you are a new subscriber then yea you’re screwed.
I really like antennapod. It works really well for all of my podcasts.
Years ago I bought the app for android, iPhone, and web because for work I needed it on different devices. When they changed the pricing model I got a email saying because of my support and having paid them that many times, I was given lifetime premium for free. They were owned by a different company back then, but I really appreciated the move and have it to this day.
For Android users and FOSS enthusiasts, AntennaPod is pretty great.
Made the switch from Podcast Addict recently and I’m pretty happy. It’s much more stable (especially with casting) and I like the queue system, but I do wish I had a bit more flexibility in applying download/update rules to whole categories instead of only one show at a time.
What’s wrong with Apple Podcasts? Just curious.
Pocket Casts is available as Android and Windows app; Apple Podcasts isn’t.
Pocket Casts syncs between MacOS, iOS, Android, Windows and web device that allows you to open the web player; Apple Podcasts doesn’t.
It’s not garbage per se, it just doesn’t fit the same use case.
I just use Spotify for podcasts. Unless there’s something I’m missing from other podcast apps, Spotify works great for me.
Spotify is also trying to kill traditional RSS podcasts by buying them up and making them exclusive to Spotify.
Some podcasts have chapters, chapter art, show notes, etc. “Accidental Tech Podcast” is a good example. Spotify sucks for podcasts and they’re trying to kill podcasting so they can take it over.
