Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.

I know, I know, using Google apps isn’t the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.

Apparently they’re moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren’t implemented yet.

I’ve moved over to an app from F-Droid.

    The old Podcast app was simple, it did one thing, and it did it well. YouTube Music seems to be trying to do a dozen different things, and it does a shit job of all of them.

      I’m using it and I’m quite happy with it, I even think it’s better than Spotify especially the music recommendations

        The recommendations are the main reason why I ditched Spotify for YouTube Music ReVanced. Spotify seems to believe that my tastes in music are more indie than they are, just because not everything I listen to has hit a Billboard chart at one point. YTM tends to play the same songs over and over again, but at least they’re songs I recognize.

        Also why would I pay $10/mo for Spotify Premium when I could use YTM ReVanced for free and just block the ads? Which is the second reason why I switched.
