If you’re only listening to Podcasts on a single device, then there’s literally a ton of great podcast apps available.
The issue is really using several devices, with podcast downloads and listening status syncing across all devices. Spotify might be the closest, second-best option, but I find that really messy because it’s not optimized for podcasts, and because I don’t want to have podcasts mixed in with my music.
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.
Yeah but I guess I just don’t use podcasts on other devices. Too much headphone switching.
