So I’m in the process of switching from Spotify to Tidal for my music streaming (since Tidal pays artists like three times more than Spotify does). The only problem is, Tidal doesn’t support podcasts, which is another big thing I used Spotify for.
So what are some good apps for podcasts? I listen both on my PC and my Android phone, and I’m not really thrilled about the idea of paying for another subscription (so now I’m making two payments to cover the functionality I got with a single, cheaper payment). I’m cool with paying a one-time up-front fee, though.
I like the app and I’ve used it for over a decade. I absolutely hate the UI. It’s extremely confusing.
I just keep the player widget on my home screen, but everytime I go to search for podcasts or to unsubscribe from one it takes me a few minutes to figure out what to do to get there.
That’s a fair criticism. It can be counter-intuitive with forward/back/menus. I’m probably just used-to-it.
It’s never hindered me from adding anything or using the podcast/rss protocol how I need to. That said, there may be some other super-useful podcast apps out there that are better.
Prior to Podcast Addict I used Spotify for my podcasts. So, for me at least, it’s been a big improvement; though I’ll concede that’s a low bar to clear.
