Pocket Casts did some update I didn't like so I switched to Podcast Republic and haven't looked back. I do have Spotify Premium aswell but that is and always will be for music only.

What does this have to do with the article? Maybe I missed something reading it?

Just an illustration of what the article is talking about; I can switch to another app and still get the same podcasts. Not the case with Netflix, Spotify, HBO and so on.

Ah, that makes sense now. Definitely didn’t pick that up at 6a this morning. 😉

What did they change that you didn't like? I have used it for years. I'm not looking to switch but I'm curious to know what made you switch.

Probably putting Apple Watch and file features behind a sub. That happened ages ago but they really haven’t change the UI since I’ve been using it for a decade (or so).

I don't honestly even remember. Most likely had something to do with the UI

i stopped using pocket casts when they started adding pay for features into the main UI but disabled. i'd bought pocket casts but up until that point i was glad it was made free as it was the best podcast app for android, now i use antennapod, and it's fine.
