I have been using PocketCasts for a long time, but it’s been enshitifying for a while now. The most annoying part is the huge amount of ads that are inserted in the podcasts, and I can’t even tell if that money goes to the creators or to PocketCasts.
So any good recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been using AntennaPod for over a year - moved over from PocketCasts back then - and am very happy with it. I have very simple requirements though, so it might be as full-featured as other options.
Another vote for AntennaPod, although Podcini doesn’t seem too different. They all lack a way to make multiple playlists.
Also, on my ancient tablet with Android 7, i use antenna pod except for playback, where i switch to Audio Anchor to avoid some crashing.
AntennaPod is better than it has any right to be – on a modern device, it’s super smooth.
