Apple's Podcast app is a mess. Does anyone have better alternatives that they vouch for?

Question

I can't take it anymore! The UX is awful and I lose shows that I was planning to listen to. Would love some help from the PH community of experts :)

Spotify?

Nathan Weinstock · Answer

I like to listen to podcasts on Spotify, I think the UX is nicer than apple and I find it easier to keep all my music and podcasts in one place. But I wish you could search through a specific shows library to find an episode, I hate having to scroll through a seemingly neverending list of episodes to find what I'm looking for.

@liz_obee I weirdly like having my music and Podcasts separate. Could be time to move on from that though!

@nathan_weinstock the search is important. Could be a deal-breaker

I'm 100% the same about keeping music and podcasts separate. I've used Pocket Casts for as long as I can remember https://pocketcasts.com/ It's always done what I need, but that also means I've not looked at what other podcast apps have to offer.
