Any recommendations for android? I know there's pocket casts but I'm not paying a subscription for a podcast app. All I need it to do is literally find the podcast then click play. I'm not really sure what there even is to innovate on for apps to charge you.
If you only listen to podcasts on your phone, I can highly recommend AntennaPod. It is free and open source. I have been using it for around 6 months now since Pocket Casts increased from $10 to $40 per year.
pocket cast is free to use, no?
Yeah. I don't pay for pocket cast.
Is it subscription now? I paid like $3 for it once ten years ago.
It is free for most features, but the paid subscription is now $40 per year.
Yeah, I'm holding on to the lifetime grandfathered premium and don't foresee myself using anything else until they end it.
I like AntennaPod.
Podcast Republic is my go to. I listen to 5 or 6 podcasts. But have 2 or 3 that are time relevant, like news. I set those as priority, and Podcast Republic makes an auto playlist that puts them all in order by my preference, then release date old to new.
If a preferred podcast comes out, it goes to the top of my auto playlist. I can't podcast without it now.
I used to use PodcastAddict, before my work replaced my perfectly functional Galaxy 10 with a used iPhone SE. Not sure that one exists anymore, but I loved it.
